A survey revealed that men spend an average of 11.4 min in the shower with standard deviation of 1.8 min. Assume a normal distribution. If 33 men are randomly selected find the probability that thei
When an opinion poll calls residential telephone numbers at random, only 20% of the calls reach a live person. You watch the random dialing machine make calls. X is the number of calls until the fir
The capacity of an elevator is 10 people or 1520 pounds. The capacity will be exceeded if 10 people have weights with a mean greater than 1520/10=152 pounds. Suppose the people have weights that are
If a random variable has the probability density defined as fx(x)=2x, 0<=x<=1, identify the corresponding hazard function
Suppose that someone has hired you to determine whether they should refinance their home. This customer has a $375,200 30-year mortgage at 5.67% interest compounded monthly. For the last 6 years, th
We assume that the conditional distribution of X|N= n is binomial (n, theta) and that N is Poisson (lambda). Show that X has Poisson(lambda*theta) distribution in either of two ways. i) by deriving
In rolling a die, the probability of obtaining 2, 3, or 4 in three statistically independent throws is?
If a male passenger is rndomly selected, find the probability that he will fit through the doorway without bending. If half of the 50 passengers are men, find the probability that the mean height of
Assume the readings on thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0 degrees C and a standard deviation of 1.00 degrees C. Find the probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads gr
Suppose it has been observed that touchdowns scored in a game by your favorite football team are Poisson random variables. The rate is lambda = 4 per game. We know from the lecture that the time unt
Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of damaged shipments.
You conducted a Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test in your ASCI 691 capstone project. Unfortunately, you did not get the sample size you had hoped for during your research.
To decide whether two different types of steel have the same true average fracture toughness values, n specimens of each type are tested, yielding the following results.
Using the traditional formula, a 95% CI for p1 - p2 is to be constructed based on equal sample sizes from the two populations. For what value n (= m) will the resulting interval have width at most 0
Suppose a company has a design maximum output of 100. Its actual output is 80 and its efficiency is 50%.Calculate its efficient output and its capacity utilization.
A producer can produce a product at a variable cost per unit of $9. The producer can sell the product for $12 each. If the fixed cost is $60,000, how many units must the producer sell to make a prof
What is the probability that between 790 and 810 of these intervals contain the corresponding value of μ? [Hint: Let Y = the number among the 1000 intervals that contain μ
A financial analyst claims that the return rate of a 15-year bond has a standard deviation of 6.8%. Determine whether the hypothesis test claim is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed.
Researchers studied the effects of adding an exercise program to dieting in the achievement of weight loss. A sample of 15 men ages 18-20 (Group 1) were observed for weight loss using a diet only, a
Calculate the test statistic for a test of the hypothesis that the mean weight loss for the two groups is the same. Give your answer to two decimal places.
In proof testing of circuit boards, the probability that any particular diode will fail is 0.01. Suppose a circuit board contains 200 diodes.
Suppose the population standard deviation = 8. The appropriate sample size for estimating the true population mean within 2 units with 95% confidence level is approximately
