A sample of n 4 scores has a mean of M 12. A second sample of n 6 scores has a mean of M 8. If the two samples are combined, what value will be obtained for the mean of the combined sample?
Assume that the number of particles emitted from a radioactive source follows a Poisson distribution with an average emission of 2 particles per second.
Two circuit breakers of the same design each have a failure-to-open-on-demand probability of 0.02. The breakers are placed in series so that both must fail to open in order for the circuit breaker
A sample of n 8 scores has a mean of M 12. One new score is added to the sample and the new mean is found to be M 13. What is the value of the new score?
Let X and Y be continuous random variables with joint probability density f (x, y) = (1+4xy)/2, for 0 < x < 1 and 0 < y < 1 f (x, y) = 0, otherwise. Compute the marginal density of X &am
