A boxcar contains six complex electronic systems. Two of the six areto be randomly selected for thorough testing and then classified as defective or not defective.

(a) Describe the sample spaceSof this experiment and give its cardinality

(b) Explain why this is an equally likely experiment

(c) If two of the six systems are actually defective, find:

(i) the probability that at least one of the two systems tested will be defective

(ii) the probability that both are defective.

The manager of The Cheesecake Factory in Boston reports that on six randomly selected weekdays, the number of customers served was 120, 130, 100, 205, 185, and 220. She believes that the number of customers served on weekdays follows a normal distribution. Construct the lower bound of the 90% confidence interval for the average number of customers served on weekdays.
