A bank has studied its chequing accounts and found that 94% of all chequing accounts have been open for at least one year, the remaining percentage of chequingaccounts have been open for less than a year. The bank also determined that for all chequing accounts that have been open for less than one year, the percentage ofcheques returned due to insufficient funds is 4%. For chequing accounts that have been open for at least one year, only 1% of cheques were returned due toinsufficient funds.(a) What is the probability that a cheque processed by this bank will be returned due to insufficient funds?(b) If a cheque is returned due to insufficient funds, what is the probability that it came from a bank account that has been open for more than one year?el oroditth

College instructors who adopt this book are (we hope!) twice as likely to continue to use the book the following year as they are to drop it, whereas nonusers are four times as likely to remain nonusers the following year as they are to adopt this book In the long term, what proportion of college instructors will be users of this book?
Tuff Rubbers, a tire manufacturer, knows that 5% of the tires it produces are defective. To reduce the number of defective tires that make it to market, the manufacturer uses a special device to test each tire before shipping it out. The test will correctly detect a defective tire 97% of the time. However, the test will incorrectly indicate a good quality tire is defective 6% of the time. If the test indicates a tire is defective, the tire is recycled. Otherwise, the tire makes it to market. Let D represent the event a tire is defective, and T represent the event the test indicates a tire is defective. In each part of this question, express each probability only in terms of the events D and T and justify any computation by explicitly stating the formula you are using. (a) Express each of the three probabilities listed above in terms of the events D and T. (b) What percentage of tires are recycled? (c) What percentage of recycled tires are not defective? (d) What percentage of…
A certain county had a population of 34,485 people. The county hospital is interested in estimating the number of people in the county with blood type-O. To do this, they test blood samples from 228 patients. Out of this group, 10 have blood type-O. Use this sample to estimate the number of people in the county with blood type-O.
In 2016, the New York Times reported that the average American spent 50 minutes per day on Facebook, as compared to an average of 42 minutes per day reading, exercising, or actually socializing combined. You suspect that this gap has widened over the years, and collect a random sample of 100 people. For 50 of them (again, randomly chosen from your sample), you track their time spent on Facebook; you track the other 50 peoples’ total time spent reading/exercising/socializing. (a) Say the 2016 figures regarding Americans’ time allotments still hold true. If the population standard deviation for minutes using Facebook is 12.5 minutes, and the population standard deviation for minutes spent on reading, exercising, and socializing (referred to from here on as ”Other” activities) is 8 minutes, what are the expected value and the standard error of the difference between the average amount of time spent on Facebook and the average amount of time spent on Other activities computed from a sample…
Before the United States vaccination began, Chickenpox caused more than 100 deaths, more than 10,000 hospitalizations and more than 4 million people had gotten chickenpox every year. Since the United States vaccination began in 1995 after about 15 years in 2010, there was a 90% decrease in deaths meaning fewer than 20 people died from chickenpox. 84% fewer hospitalizations, meaning fewer than 1,700 people are hospitalized for chickenpox. 92% fewer cases mean that fewer than 350,000 people get chickenpox every year. what is a equation that best fits with people getting chickenpox and what type of equation is this? exponential, linear, polynomial
A friend of yours tells you that they heard that 65% of all college athletes end up losing a finger or toe in their college athletic career. You're highly skeptical of this, but your not sure if that percentage is an over exageration or an under exageration. You survey 101 former student-athletes and find that 60 of them lost a digit during their college athletic career. Is this enough evidence to conclude that the true percentage of student-athletes that lose a digit during their collegiate career is really different from 65%?

A new weight-reducing technique, consisting of a liquid protein diet, is currently undergoing tests by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before its introduction into the market. The weights of a random sample of five people are recorded before they are introduced to the liquid protein diet. The five individuals are then instructed to follow the liquid protein diet for 3. weeks. At the end of this period, their weights (in pounds) are again recorded. The results are listed in the table. Person Weight Before Diet Weight After Diet 1 165 160 2 210 207 3 203 202 4 216 208 220 217 5 (1) Is there a significant difference between the means of the weights before and after the diet?

It’s assumed that students need to stay awake more to study during finals week. One way to measure this is how much coffee is consumed during Finals week at night. A local coffee house near APU counted the number of cups of coffee sold per hour during Finals week after 6 p.m. We randomly select ten (10) hours of sales records during Finals week and find out that the following number of cups of coffee were consumed: 18, 17, 22, 14, 17, 20, 22, 24, 15, 15 By comparison, the sales records from a previous week were used as a comparison. The following number of cups of coffee were consumed over a seven (7) hour period: 9, 13, 5, 15, 17, 10, 11 a. Determine what is the appropriate statistical procedure, with a brief explanation (one sentence) as to why this is the appropriate procedure. b. State the null hypothesis. c.

A poll in June 2020 found that 83% of American parents believe that virtual learning instead of in- person learning widens the equity gap for students. A later poll in October 2020 asked 1025 American parents if they believe virtual learning instead of in- person learning widens the equity gap for students, and found that 820 believe that yes, virtual learning instead of in-person learning widens the equity gap for students. Does this mean that the proportion of American parents, who believe that virtual learning instead of in-person learning widens the equity gap for students, has decreased? Test at the 10% significance level. State the hypotheses. Но: р (? На: р (? Calculate the sample proportion. Round to four decimal places. Calculate the test statistic. Round to two decimal places.

Urgent Care is organized in to 4 department: Registration (Reg), Waiting (Wait), Treatment (Treat), and Payment & Check Out (PCO). For all patients who receive treatment at the Urgent Care, the expected time (in minutes) per patient needed in each of the departments: Reg. Wait. Treatment PCO 10 15 30 3 or 2 All patients enter and register at the registration cubicle. After registering, 10% of the patients walk out without waiting and seeing the physician for treatment. However, still they have to walk through the PCO & return the admissions slip. These patients need only 2 min at PCO (instead of 3 min). No waiting and treatment time for patients who walk out. Simulate the total time spent in the Urgent care for the first patient. Total time spent by Patient 1 at the Urgent Care is . RN: 0.05 Hint: Need to check (simulate) whether a patient, after registering( 10 min), walks out or not. O 2 min O 12 min O 10 min O None of these
