Find the indicated probability.Find the probability of at least 2 girls in 6 births. Assume that male and female births are equally likely and that the births are independent events. [Is this a binomial probability? What is n, p, and x?]

Solve the problem.245 randomly selected light bulbs were tested in a laboratory, 136 lasted more than 500 hours. Find a point estimate of the true proportion of all light bulbs that last more than 500 hours. [A point estimate is a single number estimate. This would be the sample proportion.]

Find the critical t value (or values) for the given hypotheses, sample size, and significance level.α = 0.01 H0 : μ = 81.1n = 12 H1 : μ ≠ 81.1 What is the formula for degrees of freedom?

Find the necessary sample size.Weights of women in one age group are normally distributed with a standard deviation σ of 12 lb. A researcher wishes to estimate the mean weight of all women in this age group. Find how large a sample must be drawn in order to be 90 percent confident that the sample mean will not differ from the population mean by more than 2.4 lb.
