A hypothesis test was done on the mean cost of textbooks at UVA in a given semester. the null and alternative hypotheses were H0: μ=$220 and H1: μ < 220. A sample of 49 UVA students showed a mean of $212, and a P-value of 0.092 was calculated. The P-value is:

a) The probability of making the wrong decision

b) The probability that the true value is $212

C) The probability that if the true value is $220 we will have a sample mean of $212 or less

d) The probability that if the true value is $220 we will have a sample mean that is equal to $212

e) The probability that the true value is $220

Q8. One store notes that the probability of some type of error in a telephone order is 0.2. A supervisor randomly selects telephone orders and carefully inspects each one.

  1. (2pts) What is the probability that the third telephone order selected will be the first to contain an error?

  2. (3pts) What is the probability that the supervisor will inspect between two and six (inclusive) telephone orders before finding an error?

  3. (3pts) What is the probability that the inspector will examine at least seven orders before finding an error?

  4. (4pts) Suppose the first four telephone orders contain no errors, what is the probability that the first error will be on the eighth order or later?

A manufacturing operation utilizes three production lines to assemble electronic fuses. All lines produce fuses at the same rate and 20% of fuses are defective. Production lines recently suffered mechanical difficulty and probability of choosing a product from line 1 given defective is 40%, probability of choosing a product from line 2 given defective is 50%, and probability of choosing a product from line 3 given defective is 25%.

What is the probability that a customer buy a non-defective fuse produce by line 2?

What is the probability that a customer buy a fuse produce by line 3?
