7. Suppose it is claimed that amongst the population of human adults, the number of hoursspent sleeping per day is normally distributed with a mean of μ = 7 and variance of o2 = 1.1. Further suppose that we wish to study the mean of the population by taking a randomsample of n = 62 adults. U8. Following on from the previous question, what is the probability that when we take a randomsample of n = 62 adults, the sample mean would be greater than 7.133?

The next six questions refer to the following scenario: A random sample of 25 students were asked to self-identify as "statistics-lovers" or "statistics-adorers." 16 students self-identified as "lovers" and 9 students as "adorers."

4. Past experience indicates that the time required for high school seniors to complete a standardized examination is a normal random variable with a mean of 35 minutes. If a random sample of 20 high school seniors took an average of 33.1 minutes to complete the examination with a standard deviation of 4.3 minutes, test the hypothesis at 5% level of significance that µ = 35 minutes, against the alternative µ< 35 minutes.

A quality control engineer found that the inner and outer diameters of their ball bearings, denoted respectively as X and Y, are random variables with E(X|Y = y) = 0.7 – 0.3y inches and Var(X|Y = y) = 0.0004y for all values of y. From his past experience he also knew that the mean and variance of the outer diameters were E(Y) = 0.7 inches, and Var(Y) squared inches. = 0.0001 %3D • (i) What are the conditional random variables, E(X|Y) and Var(X|Y)? • (ii) Find the mean of the inner diameters, E(X). • (ii) Find the variance of the inner diameters, Var(X).
