Consider the equation for the acceleration due to gravity, G ,given in Section 3-12.3 (Use propagation of error (delta method)). Suppose that E(T) = 5.2 seconds and V(T) = 0.0004 square second . Com
A plastic casing for a magnetic disk is composed of two halves. The thickness of each half is normally distributed with a mean of 1.5millimeters and a stantard deviation of 0.1 millimeter, and the
If the members of the team are selected at random, what is the probability that 3 men and 2 women will be selected? What is the probability that men will constitute a majority in the team?
We know that one way to characterize data is as either a parameter or a statistic. There is another way that data is characterized and that's as either parametric or non-parametric. What is parametr

Determine the probability that exactly two of these vehicles require warranty service. Compute the mean and standard deviation of this probability distribution.
The time between arrivals of customers at the drive-up window of a bank follows an exponential probability distribution with a mean of 10 minutes.
According to news reports in early 1995, among the first Pentium chips Intel made, some had a peculiar defect, which rendered some rarely carried-out arithmetic operations incorrect.
Property crime rates (per 100,000 residents) for the 50 states and the District of Columbia have a mean of 3377.2 and a standard deviation of 847.4. Assuming the distribution of property crime rates

Suppose X has pmf (probability mass function) f(x)=1/5, x=1,2,3,4,5. Compute E(X) and E(X^2) and use those two results to find E[(X+2)].
At one college, GPAs are normally distributed with a mean of 2.6 and a standard deviation of 0.4. What percentage of students at the college have a GPA between 2.2 and 3?
For a normal distribution, find the probability that an observation falls within 0.92 standard deviations of the mean.
Short term versus long run Short-term aberrations do not affect the long run. To illustrate, suppose that you flip a coin 10 times and you get 10 heads.
