A computer repair shop has two work centers. The first center examines the computer to see what is wrong, and the second center repairs the computer. Let x1 and x2 be random variables representing the lengths of time in minutes to examine a computer (x1) and to repair a computer (x2). Assume x1 and x2 are independent random variables. Long-term history has shown the following times. Examine computer, x1: ?1 = 27.3 minutes; ?1 = 7.7 minutes Repair computer, x2: ?2 = 88.0 minutes; ?2 = 15.5 minutes The shop charges a flat rate of $1.50 per minute to examine the computer, and if no repairs are ordered, there is also an additional $50 service charge. Let L = 1.5x1 + 50. Compute the mean, variance, and standard deviation of L. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

Hypertension It has been found that 26% of men 20 years and older suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure) and 31.5% of women are hypertensive. A random sample of 141 of each gender was selected from recent hospital records, and the following results were obtained. Can you conclude that a higher percentage of women have high blood pressure? Use α=0.05. Men 48 patients had high blood pressure Women 61 patients had high blood pressure Use p₁ for the proportion of men with high blood pressure and round all intermediate calculations to at least three decimal places.

Magnetic surveying is one technique used by archaeologists to determine anomalies arising from variations in magnetic susceptibility. Unusual changes in magnetic susceptibility might (or might not) indicate an important archaeological discovery. Let x be a random variable that represents a magnetic susceptibility (MS) reading for a randomly chosen site at an archaeological research location. A random sample of 120 sites gave the readings shown in the table below.

A random selection of volunteers at a research institute have been exposed to a typical cold virus. After they started to have cold symptoms, 10 of them were given multivitamin tablets formulated to fight cold symptoms. The remaining 10 volunteers were given placebo tablets. For each individual, the length of time taken to recover from the cold is recorded. At the end of the experiment the following data are obtained. Days to recover from a cold Treated with multivitamin 2.6, 5.9, 5.3, 5.8, 8.7, 6.2, 7.6, 6.4, 8.0, 4.0 Treated with placebo 3.0, 5.1, 4.7, 4.2, 4.7, 5.6, 5.9, 4.7, 7.1, 4.9 It is known that the population standard deviation of recovery time from a cold is 1.8 days when treated with multivitamin tablets, and the population standard deviation of recovery time from a cold is 1.5 days when treated with placebo tablets. It is also known that both populations are approximately normally distributed. The researchers claim that the mean recovery time, l, of the patients treated…

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 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 = 223 numerical entries from the file and r = 48 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.(i) Test the claim that p is less than 0.301. Use ? = 0.05. (a) What is the level of significance?State the null and alternate hypotheses. H0: p < 0.301; H1: p = 0.301H0: p = 0.301; H1: p > 0.301 H0: p = 0.301; H1: p < 0.301H0: p = 0.301; H1: p ≠ 0.301 (b) What sampling distribution will you use? The standard normal, since np > 5 and nq > 5. The standard normal, since np < 5 and nq <…
A QR code photographed in poor lighting, so that it can be difficult to distinguish black and white pixels. The gray color (X) in each pixel is therefore coded on a scale from 0 (white) to 100 (black). The true pixel value (without shadow) the code is Y = 0 for white, and Y = 1 for black. We treat X and Y as random variables. For the highlighted pixel in the figure is the gray color X = 20 and the true pixel value is white, i.e. Y = 0. We assume that QR codes are designed so that, on average, there are as many white as black pixels, which means that pY (0) = pY (1) = 1/2. In this situation, X is continuously distributed (0 ≤ X ≤ 100) and Y is discretely distributed, but we can still think about the simultaneous distribution of X and Y. We start by defining the conditional density of X, given the value of Y : fX|Y(x|0) = "Pixel is really white" fX|Y(x|1) =" Pixel is really balck " Use Bayes formula as given in the picture and find the probability for x = 20 like in the picture.
Anyone who has been outdoors on a summer evening has probably heard crickets. Did you know that it is possible to use the cricket as a thermometer? Crickets tend to chirp more frequently as temperatures increase. This phenomenon was studied in detail by George W. Pierce, a physics professor at Harvard.
