Question
A random sample of 100 blue-collar employees at a large corporation are surveyed to assess their attitudes toward a proposed new work schedule. If $60 \%$ of all blue-collar employees at this corporation favor the new schedule, what is the probability that fewer than 50 in the random sample will be in favor?
Step 1
We are given a random sample of 100 blue-collar employees, so our sample size, denoted as $n$, is 100. We are also told that 60% of all blue-collar employees favor the new schedule, so our probability of success, denoted as $p$, is 0.60. Show more…

Forty-two percent of a corporation's blue-collar employees were in favor of a modified health care plan, and $22 \%$ of its blue-collar employees favored a proposal to change the work schedule. Thirty-four percent of those favoring the health care plan modification favored the work schedule change. a. What is the probability that a randomly selected blue-collar employee is in favor of both the modified health care plan and the changed work schedule? b. What is the probability that a randomly chosen blue-collar employee is in favor of at least one of the two changes? c. What is the probability that a blue-collar employee favoring the work schedule change also favors the modified health care plan?
A firm is accustomed to training operators who do certain tasks on a production line. Those operators who attend the training course are known to be able to meet their production quotas $90 \%$ of the time. New operators who do not take the training course only meet their quotas $65 \%$. of the time. Fifty percent of new operators attend the course. Given that a new operator meets his production quota, what is the probability that he (or she) attended the program?
