A second-stage smog alert has been called in a certain area of Los Angeles County in which there are 50 industrial firms. An inspector will visit 10 randomly selected firms to check for violations of regulations. a. If 15 of the firms are actually violating at least one regulation, what is the pmf of the number of firms visited by the inspector that are in violation of atleast one regulation? b. If there are 500 firms in the area, of which 150 are in violation, approximate the pmf of part (a) by simpler pmf. c. For X = the number among the 10 visited that are in violation, compute E(X) and V(X) both for the exact pmf and the approximating pmf in part (b).

A manufacturer of light bulbs may want to be reasonably certain that less than 3% of the bulbs are defective. Suppose 300 bulbs are randomly selected from a very large shipment. Each tested and 10 defective bulbs are found. Does this provide sufficient evidence for the manufacturer to conclude that the fraction defective in the entire shipment is less than 0.03? State the hypotheses:
A polling organization has been hired to conduct a survey to determine the proportion of people who are likely to support an upcoming ballot initiative.

A survey of heads of households showed the percentage of those who asked for a raise and the percentage of those who asked for a raise and the percentage who got one. Accordig to the survey, of the men interviwed 16% asked for a raise, and of those men who asked for a raise, 65% recieved the raise. If a man is selected at random from the survey population of women, find the following probabilites. (To three decimal places) P(man asked for a raise) P(man recieved raise, given he asked for one) P(man asked for raise and recieved raise)

The start-up Pluggr has developed a wi-fi controlled spark plug for use in electric vehicles. During their production process, they create spark plugs in large batches. A batch is sent out for sale if more than 95% of spark plugs pass a reliability test. Rather than test every spark plug in the batch, they only test sample n=400 from each batch. In batch #876-5309, of the 400 spark plugs tests, 392 of them passed the reliability test. Using this data, test the null hypothesis that H0: p=0.95 vs Ha: p>0.95 at the alpha=0.01 level. What is the p-value of this test, and what is your conclusion?
