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?

5) Below is the standard deviation for extreme 10k finish times for a randomly selected group of women and men. Chose the statement that best summarizes the meaning of the standard deviation. Women: s = 0.17 Men: s = 0.21 A) The distribution of women's finish times is less varied than the distribution of men's finish times. B) The distribution of men's finish times is less varied than the distribution of women's finish times. C)On average, men's finish times will be 0.21 hours faster than the overall average finish time. D)On average, women's finish times will be 0.17 hours less than men's finish times.
The California High School Exit Exam scores form a normal distribution with a mean of 750 and a standard deviation of 80. a sample of 36 students was selected at random. 1)What two sample means will form the boundaries that separate the middle 95 percent of sample means from the rest of the distribution? 2) How large a sample is needed to have a standard error that is less than or euqla to 10?
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)
A soft-drink bottle vendor claims that its process yields bottles with a mean internal strength of 157 psi (pounds per square inch) and a standard deviation of 3 psi and is normally distributed. As part of its vendor surveillance, a bottler strikes an agreement with the vendor that permits the bottler to sample from the vendor’s production to verify the vendor’s claim. A) Suppose the bottler randomly selects 15 bottles to sample. What is the mean and standard deviation? B) Suppose it’s not normally distributed. What is the mean and standard deviation for 64 randomly selected bottles?
A given distribution has a population mean, 128 and a population standard deviation, oof 5. Compute the raw, -value associated with a Z-score of 0.19.
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?
Many college graduates who are employed full-time have longer than 40-hour work weeks. Suppose that we wish to estimate the mean number of hours, u, worked per week by college graduates employed full-time. We'll choose a random sample of college graduates employed full-time and use the mean of this sample to estimate u. Assuming that the standard deviation of the number of hours worked by college graduates is 6.20 hours per week, what is the minimum sample size needed in order for us to be 95% confident that our estimate is within 1.2 hours per week of u? Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Write your answer as a whole number (and make sure that it is the minimum whole number that satisfies the requirements). (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
