Suppose 400 automobiles are to be inspected for emissions where 50 of them have higher emissions than the allowed limit. A sample of 10 cars is chosen at random and the number of cars that have higher emission values is counted. Thus, it is distributed as Hypergeometric. a. What is the probability that 6 of them will have a higher emission value? b. Check whether Binomial approximation can be used to calculate this probability. c. Find the probability in part (a) by the use of Binomial approximation and compare your results.

7. A state that requires periodic emissions tests of cars operates two emission test stations – A and B – in one of its areas. Car owners have complained about a lack of uniformity of procedures at the two stations, resulting in different failure rates. A sample of 400 cars at Station A showed that 53 of those failed the test. A sample of 470 cars at Station B found that 51 of those failed the test. Testing at the 5% significance level, can it be concluded that the two population proportions for failure are different ?
