A roulette wheel has 38 slots in which the ball can land. Two of the slots are green, 18 are red, and 18 are black. The ball is equally likely to land in any slot. The roulette wheel is going to be
Your manager, who just read an abridged version of a statistics book, wants you to test hypotheses for the difference in two population means. The sample sizes for each are 23.
One ecologist argues that the island does not increase retention time because the travel velocity is increased along with travel length. Dye studies are used to measure retention time in 5 wetlands
The total expenses of a hospital are related to many factors. Two of these factors are the number of beds in the hospital and the number of admissions. Data were collected on 14 hospitals, as shown
A physics lab instructor wants to estimate the time required for physic students to complete a required experiment. From a previous study she found the population standard deviation to be 16 min. Ho
A college requires an IQ of 120 or more for entrance. From what percentage of the population must it draw its students? Mean is 100 and standard deviation is 15
A random sample of 10 has a mean of 110. Test the null hypothesis that µ = 120 against the alternative hypothesis that µ < 120 at the 5% level of significance for the following cases
If no preliminary sample is taken to estimate p, how large a sample is necessary to be 90% sure that a point estimate will be within a distance of .06 from p?
It is desired to estimate the mean time of continuous use until a wireless router will first required service. If it can be assumed that the standard deviation is 60 days,
Some plastic rods are automatically cut into lengths of 6 in. Actual lengths are normally distributed about a mean of 6 in and their standard deviation is .06 inches. What proportion of the rods exc
A pysics lab instructor wants to estimate the time required for physic students to complete a required experiment. From a previous study she found the population standard deviation to be 16 mins.
The number of people arriving for treatment at an emergency room can be modeled by a Poisson process with a rate parameter of five per hour.
Suppose that you have two fair dice with n sides. The first die has faces with numbers 1,2,...,n The second die has faces with numbers n,n+1,n+2,...,2n?1. You roll the dice. Determine the probabilit
Suppose that the green player has won the coin toss. Determine the probability that the blue player wins on or before his/her second turn.
For this sample of n = 8 observations, use R to obtain the mean, the median, the interquartile range and the standard deviation. Among the four statistics, which are measures of central tendency and w
Answer the following using the research hypothesis, "there is a correlation between year and number of firearm deaths in the US." What is the value of the correlation coefficient between year and nu
A study comparing the resting heart rate of four different types of elite athletes recruited: 10 cyclists, 10 triathletes, 10 soccer players, and 10 baseball players. The resting heart rate of each
The average weight loss was 16.7 lbs., with a sample standard deviation of 25.4. Do these results support the claim at the 10% significance level that the exercise regimen results in weight loss?
Assuming a significance level of 0.05 -- that is, we will reject the null hypotheses if the probability of getting the sample results, assuming that ? does in fact equal 90, is less than 5%. - how d
We have a sample of 36 cola cans that contain an average of 12.29 oz, but this time let's assume that we don't know sigma, the standard deviation of the underlying probability distribution. However,
The role of the sample mean x bar in a confidence interval estimate for the population mean is to determine the
Given a sampling distribution of a sample mean X bar that is normally distributed and has a mean of 30 and a standard deviation of 8, a sample mean of 40 corresponds to:
If there is no difference in the taste of the light beers, what is the chance that 5 out of 7 people would be able to rate Low-Brau's as the best? Hint: This is a binomial distribution problem, and
