1. According to a study by Dr. John McDougall of his live-in weight loss program at St. Helena Hospital, the people who follow his program lose between six and 15 pounds a month until they approach trim body weight. Let's suppose that the weight loss is uniformly distributed. We are interested in the weight loss of a randomly selected individual following the program for one month. a. State "P(7 < x < 13 | x > 9) = ___" in a probability question.Draw the picture and find the probability. (Enter your answer as a fraction.)

Question 2 The Z- scores of an accepted range of Pizza Pockets is between -1.10 and 0.51. If there are 250 000 pizza pockets made, how many of those Pizza Pockets will be rejected?
(3) On a vocational interest inventory that measures interest in several categories, a very large standardization group of adults (i.e., a population) has an average score of u = 22 and o = 4. Scores are normally distributed. A researcher would like to determine if scientists differ from the general population in terms of writing interests. A random sample of scientists is selected from the directory of a national science society. The scientists are given the inventory, and their test scores on the literary scale are as follows: 21, 20, 23, 28, 30, 24, 23, 19. Do scientists differ from the general population in their writing interests? (а) Но: и-22 (b) Hạ: _µ±22 (c) Z = _23.5 (d) p =_ 1.0607 (e) What does the p value suggest about how likely your Z score is (or a more extreme Z score) if the null hypothesis is true? (f) Cohen's d=
1. For a certain year a study reports that the percentage of Americans aged 21 – 30 that had personal credit card debt was 72%. A researcher claims that this is too high for Americans aged 21 – 30 that have at least a Bachelor's degree. In a random sample of 320 Americans aged 21 – 30 with at least a Bachelor's degree, 208 of them had personal credit card debt. At a = 0.01, is the researcher correct %3D about her claim? а. State the null and alternative hypotheses AND identify which is the researcher's claim. b. Determine the critical value(s) that separate the rejection region(s) from the non-rejection region. c. Compute the appropriate test statistic and provide the corresponding p-value. d. Make your decision about the evidence and provide a justification.
Recall that Benford's Law claims that numbers chosen from very large data files tend to have "1" as the first nonzero digit disproportionately often. In fact, research has shown that if you randomly draw a number from a very large data file, the probability of getting a number with "1" as the leading digit is about 0.301. Now suppose you are the auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue file contains millions of numbers in a large computer data bank. You draw a random sample of n = 226 numbers from this file and r = 87 have a first nonzero digit of 1. Let p represent the population proportion of all numbers in the computer file that have a leading digit of 1. 1) Test the claim that p is more than 0.301. Use α = 0.10. 2) What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 3) Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) 4) If p is in fact larger than 0.301, it would seem there are too many numbers in…
Diamond Pricing. In a Singapore edition of Business Times, diamond pricing was explored. The price of a diamond is based on the diamond’s weight, color, and clarity. A simple random sample of 18 one-half-carat diamonds had the following prices, in dollars. 1676 1442 1995 1718 1826 2071 1947 1983 2146 1995 1876 2032 1988 2071 2234 2108 1941 2316 a. Apply the t-interval procedure to these data to find a 90% confidence interval for the mean price of all one-half-carat diamonds. Interpret your result. (Note: — x = $1964.7 and s = $206.5.)b. Obtain a normal probability plot, a boxplot, a histogram, and a stem-and-leaf diagram of the data.c. Based on your graphs from part (b), is it reasonable to apply the t-interval procedure as you did in part (a)? Explain your answer.
Question 30 A randomly selected realtor's monthly commission (in thousands) can be estimated by a random variable that follows F-distribution with parameters (14,4). Let X be the monthly commission of a randomly selected realtor. 1. Describe the distribution of X: (dfn= 14 2. Use the random variable notation to express symbolically each of the following: P(X<7.9) The probability of an event in which the monthly commission (in thousands) of a randomly selected realtor is less than 7.9.

MANUFACTURING PRODUCTIVITY You are an Operations Manager for a local steel manufacturing company, and you are in the process of selecting a vendor for a new type of metal finishing machine. For the past week you’ve tested machines from three different companies and collected the randomly sampled data below that shows how many parts each machine produced in seven different one-hour periods over the course of your manufacturing test. Is the average production of these machines the same, or is one of them different from the others? [If the productivity is the same, you will simply choose the machine with the lowest cost.] You may assume that all populations are independent and nearly normal. Test at the 95% confidence level. (i.e. α= 0.05) Parts produced per hour for machines from three vendors: Machine A Machine B Machine C 112 116 102 104 118 107 116 112 108 98 108 92 109 113 114 111 117 105 115 107 102 What…

What is the probability it will take more than 2 hours on a given job? c. You are on a given job and you already have been working for 1 hour. What is the probability it will at least an additional 2 hours to complete this job?
In a combined study of northern pike, cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, and lake trout, it was found that 40 out of 866 fish died when caught and released using barbless hooks on flies or lures. All hooks were removed from the fish. (a) Let p represent the proportion of all pike and trout that die (i.e., p is the mortality rate) when caught and released using barbless hooks. Find a point estimate for p. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)(b) Find a 99% confidence interval for p. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) lower limit upper limit Give a brief explanation of the meaning of the interval.

This cumulative review problem uses material from Chapters 3, 5, and 10. Recall that the Poisson distribution deals with rare events. Death from the kick of a horse is a rare event, even in the Prussian army. The following data are a classic example of a Poisson application to rare events. The data represent the number of deaths from the kick of a horse per army corps per year for 10 Prussian army corps over a period of time. Let x represent the number of deaths and f the frequency of x deaths. x 0 1 2 3 or more f 111 61 24 4 (a) First, we fit the data to a Poisson distribution.The Poission distribution states P(x) = e−λλx x! , where λ ≈ x (sample mean of x values). From our study of weighted averages, we get the following. x = Σxf Σf Verify that x = 0.605. Hint: For the category 3 or more, use 3. x = (b) Now we have P(x) = e−0.605(0.605)x x! for x = 0, 1, 2, 3 . Find P(0), P(1), P(2), and P(3 ≤ x). Round to three places…
