You want to know what proportion of adults in the United States use an electric toothbrush.  How many adults have to be surveyed to estimate this proportion with a margin of error of 4% using a 95% confidence interval?

The figure below indicates various defects and discontinuities in cast products. Review each one and offer design solutions to avoid them.

Describe the nondestructive methods used for identifying internal defects in materials, as well as those techniques specifically designed for detecting only surface flaws.

A photographer is taking a team photo of a basketball team with 6 players.  If the players randomly line up, what is the probability they line up from shortest to tallest? Express your answer as a decimal rounded to four decimal places.  

A large state university finds that 82 of a random sample of 200 of its first-year students engage in binge drinking.  Find a 90%  confidence interval for the proportion of all first-year students at the state university who engage in binge drinking.  Also find the margin of error.  Round all of your answers to four decimal places.   90% Confidence Interval:  ( [LL] , [UL] ) Margin of Error:   [E]
