The Natural Resources Defense Council (NDRC) is a large organization dedicated to safeguarding people, plants and animals on the earth. They work to support clean air, clean water and healthy communities with an emphasis on pointing out water concerns in communities across the planet. Flint, Michigan has a known problem with an excess of lead in their drinking water which is very harmful to the health of the people in the community, especially children. The blood lead level in children in Flint during the peak of the water crisis (2015) is known to be approximately normally distributed with a mean of 1.31 micrograms per deciliter ( mpd ) with a standard deviation of 0.030 micrograms per deciliter. Assume that our interest is in probabilities about the blood lead level of a random child in Flint in the year 2015.
19. Pick the equation most appropriate to deal with the problem above.
a)p(x)=(nCx)px(1-p)n-x
b)z=(x)-n2
c)x+-z(sn2)
d)z=x-
20. What is the probability that a random child in Flint during 2015 had a blood lead level in excess of 1.39 mpd ?
a)0.0084
b)0.0038
c)0.0639
d)0.0451
21. Select the value (rounded to two decimal places) that corresponds to the 70 th percentile of this distribution. Note: Recall that, for example, the 65th percentile corresponds to the value of blood lead level where 65% of the distribution is below that particular value.
a)1.35 mpd
b)1.33 mpd
c)1.29 mpd
d)1.31 mpd

In recent years home lighting technology has changed dramatically due to the development of Light Emitting Diode (LED ) bulbs. Although previously used mainly in traffic lights and although LED bulbs are more expensive than incandescent bulbs, they use approximately 90% less energy and they last up to 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs. It has been estimated that the average home saves $250 per year using LED bulbs rather than incandescent bulbs. One popular manufacturer of LED bulbs claim that nearly all of their 75-watt LEDs will last for more than 25,000 hours.
22. Suppose that a small company purchases 200 of these 75-watt LEDs with a guarantee that 95% of them will last for more than 25,000 hours. Assuming the guarantee is correct, what is the probability that at least 190 of them will last for more than 25,000 hours?
a)0.5831
b)0.6823
c)0.5293
d)0.5631
23. Suppose that a small company purchases 350 of these 75-watt LEDs with a guarantee that 98% of them will last for more than 25,000 hours. Assuming the guarantee is correct, what is the expected number of them that will last for more than 25,000 hours?
a)345
b)340
c)343
d)336
