2. A new muscle relaxant is available. Researchers from the firm developing the relaxant have done studies that indicate that the time lapse between administration of the drug and beginning effects of the drug is normally distributed, with mean u= 38 minutes and standard deviation o=5 minutes. (a) The drug is administered to one patient selected at random. What is the probability that the time it takes to go into effect is 35 minutes or less? (b) The drug is administered to a random sample of 10 patients. What is the probability that the average time before it is effective for all 10 patients is 35 minutes or less?

Suppose you are a quality control manager at a manufacturing company that produces light bulbs. The company has recently made changes to the manufacturing process, and you want to investigate whether these changes have had a significant impact on the average lifespan of the bulbs. You collect a random sample of 30 light bulbs produced under the new process and find that the sample mean lifespan is 1200 hours with a sample standard deviation of 100 hours. Additionally, you collect a random sample of 35 light bulbs produced under the old process and find that the sample mean lifespan is 1180 hours with a sample standard deviation of 90 hours. Assuming that the population standard deviations are unknown but equal, test at a 5% significance level that the average lifespan of the light bulb has changed with the new manufacturing process.

The average fuel efficiency of U.S. light vehicles (cars, SUVs, minivans, vans, and light trucks) for 2005 was 21 miles per gallon (mpg). If the standard deviation of the population was 2.8 and the gas ratings were normally distributed, (a) what is the probability that the mean mpg for a random sample of 25 light vehicles is under 18? (b) between 20 and 24?
For a standardized psychology examination intended for psychology majors, the historical data show that scores have a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 170. The grading process of this year's exam has just begun. The average score of the 35exams graded so far is 512. What is the probability that a sample of 35 exams will have a mean score of 512 or more if the exam scores follow the same distribution as in the past? Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least three decimal places.
Using diaries for many weeks, a study on the lifestyles of visually impaired students was conducted. The students kept track of many lifestyle variables including how many hours of sleep obtained on a typical day. Researchers found that visually impaired students averaged 8.17 hours of sleep, with a standard deviation of 1.29 hours. Assume that the number of hours of sleep for these visually impaired students is normally distributed. (a) What is the probability that a visually impaired student gets less than 6.6 hours of sleep? (b) What is the probability that a visually impaired student gets between 6.4 and 9.53 hours of sleep?
A medical research team at the university is investigating the effectiveness of a new medical treatment for a rare disease. Data indicates that under the current treatment, patients have a mean white blood cell count of 23 cells/cc (cubic centimeter). This distribution is understood to be normally distributed, but the population standard deviation is not known. The new treatment will only be deemed effective if it significantly increases the patient’s white blood cell count above 23 cells/cc. The team has applied the treatment to a random sample of 10 patients. They have reported the following blood cell counts: 21, 25, 18, 24, 19, 25, 22, 20, 27, 25 At α = .01, is the new treatment effective?

Pls do asap...correct answer will be liked...thanks
The manager of a computer retail store is concerned that his suppliers have been giving him laptop with lower than average quality. His research shows that replacement times for the model laptop of concern are normally distributed with a mean of 3.6 years and a standard deviation of 0.5 years. He then randomly selects records on 44 laptop sold in the past and finds that the mean replacement time is 3.4 years. Find the probability that 44 randomly selected laptops will have a mean replacement time of 3.4 years or less. b] Based on the result, above does it appear that the computer store has been given laptops of lower than average quality C} Please also do explain how to solve using Excel

Katie thinks that people living in a rural environment have a healthier lifestyle than other people. She believes the average lifespan in the USA is 77 years and the lifespans follow an approximately normal distribution. A random sample of 13 obituaries from newspapers from rural towns in Idaho give = 78.9 and s = 2.83. Does this sample provide evidence that people living in rural Idaho communities live longer than 77 years? (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses: (Type "mu" for the symbol μ, e.g. mu >1 for the mean is greater than 1, mu < 1 for the mean is less than 1, mu not = 1 for the mean is not equal to 1) Ho: Ha (b) Find the test statistic = (c) Answer the question: Does this sample provide evidence that people living in rural Idaho communities live longer than 77 years? (Use a 10% level of significance) (Type: Yes or No)
