Evertight, a leading manufacturer of quality nails, produces 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-inch nails for various uses. In the production process, if there is an over- run or the nails are slightly defective, they are placed in a common bin. Yesterday, 651 of the 1-inch nails, 243 of the 2-inch nails, 41 of the 3-inch nails, 451 of the 4-inch nails, and 333 of the 5-inch nails were placed in the bin. (a) What is the probability of reaching into the bin and getting a 4-inch nail? (b) What is the probability of getting a 5-inch nail? (d) If an application requires a nail that is 3 inches or 4 inches, what is the probability of getting a nail from the common bin that will satisfy this requirement? (e) If an application requires a nail that is 2 inches or longer, what is the probability of getting a
