Before every flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft can carry 37 passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6200 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 6200lb/37 = 167.6lb. What is the probability that the aircraft is overloaded? Should the pilot take any action to correct for an overloaded aircraft? Assume that weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 185.47 lb and a standard deviation of 39 lb. make sure to include pdf

Ann thinks that there is a difference in quality of life between rural and urban living. She collects information from obituaries in newspapers from urban and rural towns in Idaho to see if there is a difference in life expectancy. A sample of 3 people from rural towns give a life expectancy of xr¯=79��¯=79 years with a standard deviation of sr=7.57��=7.57 years. A sample of 14 people from larger towns give xu¯=82��¯=82 years and su=5.48��=5.48 years. Does this provide evidence that people living in rural Idaho communities have different life expectancy than those in more urban communities? Use a 5% level of significance. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses: (Type ‘‘mu_r′′‘‘��_�″ for the symbol μr�� , e.g. mu_rnot=mu_u��_��=��_� for the means are not equal, mu_r>mu_u��_�>��_� for the rural mean is larger, mu_r<mu_u��_�<��_� , for the rural mean is smaller. )H0�0 = equation editor Equation Editor Ha�� = equation editor Equation Editor (b) The degree of…
Does it take a different amount of time for seeds to germinate if they are near rock music that is continuously playing compared to being near classical music? The 48 seeds that were exposed to rock music took an average of 28 days to germinate. The standard deviation was 13 days. The 47 seeds that were exposed to classical music took an average of 32 days to germinate. The standard deviation for these seeds was 10 days. What can be concluded at the a - 0.01 level of significance? a. For this study, we should use Select an answer b.

Before every flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The aircraft can carry 40 passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6,250 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 6,250 lb / 40 = 163 lb. What is the possiblity that the aircraft is overloaded? Should the pilot take any action to correct an overloaded aircraft? Assume that the weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 177.3 lb and a standard deviation of 39.3 The probability is approximately
