15. An oil company drills wells in search of oil. The chance that a drilled well will be a producer well is 15%.

1. 
   If 12 wells are drilled, what is the probability that all 12 will be producer wells?
   
2. 
   If 12 wells are drilled, what is the probability that all 12 will be dry?
   
3. 
   If 12 wells are drilled, what is the probability that exactly 1 will be a producer well?
   
4. 
   If 12 wells are drilled, what is the probability that at least 3 of the wells are producer wells?
   
5. 
   Suppose 1000 wells are drilled, what is the probability that at least 155 will be producer wells? First find the mean and standard deviation in the number of producer wells in samples of 1000 wells.

70. There is a contest in Alaska which people predict the time and date the ice will break up on a certain spot on a certain river. It’s called the Nenana Ice Classic. Here is the data of the ice breaks for past years. First change the data to numbers that represent days after March 31^st. So April 1 will be a 1 and April 28 a 28 and May 1 a 31 and May 20 a 50 etc. We are curious about the date of the ice break.

April 20: 1940, 1998 April 23: 1993 April 24: 1990, 2004

April 26: 1926, 1995 April 27: 1988, 2007 April 28: 1943, 1969, 2005

April 29: 1939, 1953, 1958, 1980, 1983, 1994, 1999, 2003

April 30: 1917, 1934, 1936, 1942, 1951, 1978, 1979, 1981, 1997

May 1: 1932, 1956, 1989, 1991, 2000

May 2: 1960, 1976, 2006 May 3: 1919, 1941, 1947 May 4: 1944, 1967, 1970, 1973

May 5: 1929, 1946, 1957, 1961, 1963, 1987, 1996

May 6: 1928, 1938, 1950, 1954, 1974, 1977 May 7: 1925, 1965, 2002

May 8: 1930, 1933, 1959, 1966, 1968, 1971, 1986, 2001

May 9: 1923, 1955, 1984 May 10: 1931, 1972, 1975, 1982

May 11: 1918, 1920, 1921, 1924, 1985 May 12: 1922, 1937, 1952, 1962

May 13: 1927, 1948 May 14: 1949, 1992

May 15: 1935 May 16: 1945 May 20: 1964
Give a 90% CI for the standard deviation for all possible years (see #22 on practice tests).
71. See #70, can we prove at the 5% significance level that standard deviation for all possible years is over 5 days? Make sure to give the table number(s), data number, yes/no answer.

72. See #70, can we prove at the 5% significance level that standard deviation for all possible years is not 5 days? Make sure to give the table number(s), data number, yes/no answer.
