5. The daily quantity of coffee, in litres, served by a machine located in an airport lobby is a random variable X that has a uniform continuous distribution with a=4 and b=10. Find the probability that on a given day the amount of coffee served by this machine is greater than or equal to 8.7 liters. Answer: Determine the standard deviation of the daily amount of beverage (in liters) served by the machine. Answer: Note: Answer with at least 4 decimal places
Let a be a random variable representing the percentage of protein content for early bloom alfalfa hay. The average percentage protein content of such early bloom alfalfa should be u = 17.2%. A farmer's co-op is thinking of buying a large amount of baled hay but suspects that the hay is from a later summer cutting with lower protein content. A small amount of hay was removed from each bale of a random sample of 50 bales. The average protein content from the samples was determined by a local agricultural college to be -15.8% with a sample standard deviation of S = 5.3%- At a = .05, does this hay have lower average protein content than the early bloom alfalfa?
Suppose weights, in pounds, of dogs in a city have an unknown distribution with mean 31and standard deviation 5 pounds. A sample of size n=39 is randomly taken from the population and the sum is taken. What is the probability that the resulting sum is between 1180 and 1194 pounds?
In the airline business, "on-time" flight arrival is important for connecting flights and general customer satisfaction. Is there a difference between summer and winter average on-time flight arrivals? Let x1 be a random variable that represents percentage of on-time arrivals at major airports in the summer. Let x2 be a random variable that represents percentage of on-time arrivals at major airports in the winter. A random sample of n1 = 16 major airports showed that x1 = 74.9%, with s1 = 5.3%. A random sample of n2 = 18 major airports showed that x2 = 70.2%, with s2 = 8.6%. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value a small amount and thereby produce a slightly more "conservative" answer. (a) Does this information indicate a difference (either way) in the population mean percentage of on-time arrivals for summer compared to winter? Use α = 0.05. (i) What is the…

A school district has a standardized test that it uses to determine placement into special classes. The superintendent is looking to determine whether male and female students have different scores on the test. The scores for a random sample of 25 male students and 25 female students are recorded. Assume that the scores are normally distributed for both male and female students. Let the male students be the first sample, and let the female students be the second sample. Is there enough evidence, at a = 0.01 to show a difference between male and female scores? Identify the degree of freedom and the critical value(s) to be used for this hypothesis test. Do not round; use the exact value from the t-table. Degree of freedom = Provide your answer below: Critical Value(s) = Males Females x1 = 168x2 = 171 $1 = 14 $2 = 17 n1 = 25 n2 = 25 Probability Degrees of Freedom 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 0.10 0.05 0.025 0.01 0.005 1.319 1.714 2.069 2.500 2.807 1.318 1.711 2.064 2.492 2.797 1.316 1.708 2.060…
