The American Iron and Steel institute reports that firms producing ion and steel products lost 10.1 days of work due to injury o
r illness for each 20,000 worker- hours during 1998. What is the probability that a typical company is this industry would experience no more than 8 days lost over the nest 20,000 worker-hours of production? Suppose the employees of Maswell Steel, a hypothetical firm in this industry, had lost 14 days of work durin the most recent 20,000 worker-hours of production. Could this number of days lost be considered as very unusual?
