Joan's Nursery specializes in custom-designed landscaping for residential areas. The estimated labor cost associated with a particular landscaping proposal is based on the number of plantings of
trees, shrubs, and so on to be used for the project. For cost estimating purposes, managers use two hours of labor time for the planting of a medium-sized tree. Actual times from a sample of 10
plantings during the past month follow (times in hours).

If the new supplier does provide spools of .20-mm solid OFE copper wire that average 50 inches between flaws, how is the length of wire between two consecutive flaws distributed? 2. Using the probability distribution you identified in (1), what is the probability that Gebhardt's criteria will be met (i.e., a 1 in 20 chance that a randomly selected 3-foot segment of wire provided by the new supplier will be flawless)? 3 3. In inches, what is the minimum mean length between consecutive flaws that would result in satisfaction of Gebhardt's criteria? 4.
