The Los Angeles Times regularly reports the air quality index for various areas of Southern California. A lower index value means better or cleaner air. A sample of air quality index values for Pom
A professor does not like to grade, and he randomly assigns each student a letter grade of A, B, C, D, or F. In other words, a student has an equal chance of receiving each one of the five letter gr
In a primary care clinic, 25% of patients who have appointments fail to show up. Each clinic session has 10 scheduled appointments. what is the probability that 50% of patients fail to show up?
Suppose we want to determine the (binomial) probability(p) of getting 7 heads in 14 flips of a 2-sided coin. Using the Binomial Probabilities Table in Appendix B of the text, what values of n, x and
Suppose X1, X2, X3, X4, and so forth is a Bernoulli process with p the probability of success. Suppose Sn is the number of successes on the first n trials. Suppose Tk is the time of the kth.
Use the continuity correction and describe the region of the normal distribution that corresponds to the indicated probability. For example, the probability of "more than 20 defective items" corresp
Suppose that the lifetime of a battery, measured in hours of continuous use, follows a normal distribution with a mean of 100 hours and a standard deviation of 15 hours.
The probability of "more than 20 defective items" corresponds to the area of the normal curve described with this answer: "the area to the right of 20.5." The probability that the number of truly ho
Traffic spacing is the time between vehicles (measured in seconds) passing a fixed point. If vehicles travel the road "at random", which would mean "without clumping" then the time between vehicles
let the random variable Y possess a uniform distribution on the interval(0,1). Derive the
In a survey of women in the US (AGES 20-29) the mean height was 64.3 inches with a standard deviation of 2.6inches. What height represents the 95th percentile?
Suppose there are only three candidates and she follows the following strategy. She rejects the first candidate and then selects the next candidate that is better than those already interviewed?
Translate each of the following z-scores to corresponding GPA: z=2.0, z=-1.0, z=.5, z =-2.5. Students with z-scores below -1.6 are put on probation. What is the corresponding probationary GPA?
A computer center has three processors that receive N jobs, with the jobs assigned to the processors completely at random so all 3^N possible assignment are equally likely. Find the probability that
What is the probability that the debt for a randomly selected borrower with good credit is more than $18,000 (to 4 decimals)?
75 percent of the households watch Oprah on TV, a program sponsored by product A. Of the householdsa watching Oprah, 35 percent use product A. In the city, however, 40 percent use product A. Determi
Find the standardized test statistic, t, to test the hypothesis that µ1 = µ2. Two samples are randomly selected from normally distributed populations. The statistics are:
An anthropologist wishes to estimate the average height of men for a certain race of people. If the population standard deviation is assumed to be 2.5 inches and if she randomly samples 100 men
The probability of "more than 20 defective items" corresponds to the area of the normal curve described with this answer: "the area to the right of 20.5."
If np is greater than or equal to 5 and nq is greater than or equal to 5, estimate the indicated probability by using the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial.
You know that the population mean for 25,000 homepage download times for a certain web site is 2.5 seconds with a standard deviation of 0.5 seconds. (You can assume the population distribution is be
