Recall that Benford's Law claims that numbers chosen from very large data files tend to have "1" as the first nonzero digit disproportionately often. In fact, research has shown that if you randomly draw a number from a very large data file, the probability of getting a number with "1" as the leading digit is about 0.301. Now suppose you are the auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue file contains millions of numbers in a large computer data bank. You draw a random sample of n = 226 numbers from this file and r = 87 have a first nonzero digit of 1. Let p represent the population proportion of all numbers in the computer file that have a leading digit of 1. 1) Test the claim that p is more than 0.301. Use α = 0.10. 2) What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 3) Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) 4) If p is in fact larger than 0.301, it would seem there are too many numbers in…
The useful life of Johnson rods for use in a particular vehicle follows an exponential distribution with an average useful life of 5.2 years.You have a three-year warranty on your vehicle’s Johnson rod. What is the probability that the Johnson rod doesn’t fail before then? That is, what is the probability that its useful life doesn’t end before three years?b.If the vehicle manufacturer wants to limit the number of claims on the three-year warranty to 20%, what should the average useful life of the Johnson rod be?
Suppose that 0.7% of male professional golfers use steroids, and that Max is a male professional golfer who has been randomly selected to take a drug test. The test he has been asked to take has a false positive rate of 1% and a false negative rate of 10%. Use Bayes’ rule to calculate the probability that Max actually uses steroids if he tests positive for steroid use. Give your answer as a decimal precise to three decimal places.
The consulting firm of Winston & Associates has been retained by an electronic component assembly company in Phoenix to design and program a computer simulation model of its operations. Winston & Associates plan to construct the model using ProModel software (see Promodel.com). This software allows the developer to program into the model probability distributions for things like machine downtime, defect rates, daily demand, and so forth. The closer the distributions specified in the computer model match those that actually occur in the assembly plant, the better the simulation model will perform. For one machine center, Winston consultants have assumed that when the center goes down for repairs, the time that it will be down will be normally distributed with an average of 30 minutes and a standard deviation equal to 10 minutes. Before finalizing the model, the consultants will collect a random sample of downtimes and test whether their downtime assumptions are valid. The…
The principle of redundancy is used when system reliability is improved through redundant or backup components. Assume that a student's alarm clock has a 14.9% daily failure rate. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. What is the probability that the student's alarm clock will not work on the morning of an important final exam? (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
A university is considering setting up an information desk manned by one employee. Based on information obtained from similar information desks, it is believed that people will arrive at the desk at the rate of 18 per hour. It takes an average of 2 minutes to answer a question. It is assumed that arrivals are Poisson and answer times are exponentially distributed. What is the arrival rate? (Include the units.) What is the service rate? (Include the units.) Find the probability that the employee is idle.

Suppose you are an auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue report involves millions of numbers in a large computer file. Let us say you took a random sample of n = 250 numerical entries from the file and r = 60 of the entries had a first nonzero digit of 1. Let p represent the population proportion of all numbers in the corporate file that have a first nonzero digit of 1. Test the claim that p is less than 0.301 by using α = 0.01. What does the area of the sampling distribution corresponding to your P-value look like? a. The area in the right tail of the standard normal curve. b. The area not including the right tail of the standard normal curve.…

An experiment consists of flipping a weighted coin with Pr[H]=0.6. The experiment ends when either heads is flipped 3 times or tails is flipped. What is the probability that heads was flipped at least once given the coin was flipped at most two times?
