a) A random sample of 6 insurance claims is selected from a lot of 15 that has 3 non-conforming units. Using the hypergeometric distribution, what is the probability that the sample will contain exactly 3 non-conforming units? What is the probability that the sample will contain less than 2 non-conforming units?

Steel rods manufactured in a plant must be a minimum of 2 metres in length in order to pass through an inspection procedure. Steel rods with lengths that are normally distributed, with a mean of 2.1 metres and a standard deviation of 0.1 metres, are produced during the manufacturing process. A random sample of 25 steel rods is chosen, and their lengths are measured using a tape measure. i. Decide on the appropriate distribution of the sample mean of the 25 steel rods in the sample using the appropriate distribution formula. ii. Calculate the probability that the sample mean of steel rods that meet the minimum length requirement is the same as the mean of the entire sample. iii. For example, if the observed sample mean length of steel rods is 2.15, calculate the 98% two-sided confidence interval for the true mean length of the manufacturing process, assuming that it is not known.
The distribution of hours of sleep per week night for college students is found to be normally distributed with a mean of 6.5 hours with a standard deviation of 1 hour.

( show work) B)What proportion have sleep hours between 5 & 7 hours?(show work) C) What sleep hour does a student have to be in an upper 5%?(show work) D) What is the lower quartile of the sleep hours for college students?

A construction zone on a highway has a posted speed limit of 40 miles per hours. The speeds of vehicles passing through this construction zone are normally distributed with a mean of 46 mph and a standard deviation of 4 mph. a) what percentage of vehicles exceed the speed limit? (round to 4 decimals) b) If the police wish to ticket only those drivers whose speed falls in the upper 20th percentile, what is the minimum speed of a driver they will be ticketed? (round answer to 2 decimals)
A survey found that women's heights are normally distributed with mean 62.2 in. and standard deviation 3.9 in. The survey also found that men's heights are normally distributed with mean 67.9 in. and standard deviation 3.4 in. Most of the live characters employed at an amusement park have height requirements of a minimum of 57 in. and a maximum of 64 in. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. ..... a. Find the percentage of men meeting the height requirement. What does the result suggest about the genders of the people who are employed as characters at the amusement park? The percentage of men who meet the height requirement is %. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Since most men the height requirement, it is likely that most of the characters are b. If the height requirements are changed to exclude only the tallest 50% of men and the shortest 5% of men, what are the new height requirements? The new height requirements are a minimum of in. and a maximum of in. (Round to one decimal…
New heat lamps are reported to have the mean lifespan of 100 hours with a standard deviation of 15 hours. Before replacing their current lamp to the new heat lamps for the university, OSU decided to test whether the mean lifetime is equal to 100 or not by sampling 36 heat lamps. They turned them on and recorded the time, in hours, until each lamp failed. The sample provided a mean lifespan is 105.1 hours. a) According to the Central Limit Theorem, the standard deviation of the distribution of the sample means is? b) What is the approximate probability of observing a sample mean of 105.1 or more from the distribution of sample means, again assuming that the null hypothesis is true? (Use the 68-95-99.7 rule to approximate this probability. It may be helpful to sketch out the distribution)
Assume that military aircraft use ejection seats designed for men weighing between 141.5 lb and 201 lb. If women's weights are normally distributed with a mean of 160.6 lb and a standard deviation of 48.7 lb, what percentage of women have weights that are within those limits? Are many women excluded with those specifications?
A survey found that women's heights are normally distributed with mean 63.1 in. and standard deviation 2.7 in. The survey also found that men's heights are normally distributed with mean 68.9 in. and standard deviation 3.8 in. Most of the live characters employed at an amusement park have height requirements of a minimum of 57 in. and a maximum of 62 in. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. ..... a. Find the percentage of men meeting the height requirement. What does the result suggest about the genders of the people who are employed as characters at the amusement park? The percentage of men who meet the height requirement is %. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Assume that military aircraft use ejection seats designed for men weighing between 135.2 lb and 200 lb. If women's weights are normally distributed with a mean of 164.1 lb and a standard deviation of 41.8 lb, what percentage of women have weights that are within those limits? Are many women excluded with those specifications? The percentage of women that have weights between those limits is %. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Are many women excluded with those specifications? O A. Yes, the percentage of women who are excluded, which is equal to the probability found previously, shows that about half of women are excluded. O B. No, the percentage of women who are excluded, which is equal to the probability found previously, shows that very few women are excluded. O C. No, the percentage of women who are excluded, which is the complement of the probability found previously, shows that very few women are excluded. O D. Yes, the percentage of women who are excluded, which is the…
