High in the Rocky Mountains, a biology research team has drained a lake to get rid of all fish. After the lake was refilied, they stocked it with an endangered species of Greenback trout. Of the 2,000 Greenback trout put into the lake 700 were tagged for later study. An electroshock method is used on individual fish to get a study sample. However, this method is hard on the fish. The research team wants to know the smallest number of fish that must be electroshocked to be at least80%sure of getting a sample of two or more tagged trout. Please provide the answer.

As a construction engineer for a city, you are responsible for ensuring that the company that is providing gravel for a new road puts as much gravel in each truckload as they claim to. It has been estimated that it will take 500 truckloads of gravel to complete this road, so you plan to measure the volume of gravel in an SRS of 25 trucks to make sure that the company isn’t delivering less gravel per truckload than they claim. Each truckload is supposed to have 20 m3of gravel, so you will test the hypothesis H0: μ = 20 versus Ha: μ < 20. Describe what a Type I error is in this context.
