Each of 13 refrigerators of a certain type has been returned to
a distributor because of an audible, high-pitched, oscillating
noise when the refrigerators are running. Suppose that 10 of these
refrigerators have a defective compressor and the other 3 have less
serious problems. If the refrigerators are examined in random
order, let X be the number among the first 8 examined that
have a defective compressor.

The Rockwell hardness of a metal is determined by impressing a
hardened point into the surface of the metal and then measuring the
depth of penetration of the point. Suppose the Rockwell hardness of
a particular alloy is normally distributed with mean 69 and
standard deviation 3.
(a) If a specimen is acceptable only if its hardness is between
68 and 76, what is the probability that a randomly chosen specimen
has an acceptable hardness? (Round your answer to four...
