A court is conducting a jury selection. Let be the number of prospective jurors who will be examined until one is admitted as a juror for a trial. Suppose that is a geometric random variable and , the probability of juror being admitted is 50%, find; (i) the mean and standard deviation (ii) the probability that more than two prospective jurors must be examined before one is admitted to the jury

Business Weekly conducted a survey of graduates from 30 top MBA programs. On the basis of the survey, assume the mean annual salary for graduates 10 years after graduation is 185000 dollars. Assume the standard deviation is 36000 dollars. Suppose you take a simple random sample of 59 graduates.Find the probability that a single randomly selected salary is at most 187000 dollars. Answer = Find the probability that a sample of size n=59n=59 is randomly selected with a mean that is at most 187000 dollars. Answer = Enter your answers as numbers accurate to 4 decimal places.
4. Suppose that 60% of college students own a smart phone manufactured by Apple. If a random sample of 200 college students is selected, use the normal distribution to approximate the probability that the number of students in the sample owning a smartphone made by Apple will be less than 105. Is it reasonable to use the normal approximation here?

An HP laser printer is advertised to print text documents at a speed of 18 ppm (pages per minute). The manufacturer tells you that the printing speed is actually a Normal random variable with a mean of 17.55 ppm and a standard deviation of 3 ppm. Suppose that you draw a random sample of 12 printers. Part i) Using the information about the distribution of the printing speeds given by the manufacturer, find the probability that the mean printing speed of the sample is greater than 18.15 ppm. (Please carry answers to at least six decimal places in intermediate steps. Give your final answer to the nearest three decimal places). Probability (as a proportion) ...

An HP laser printer is advertised to print text documents at a speed of 18 ppm (pages per minute). The manufacturer tells you that the printing speed is actually a Normal random variable with a mean of 17.25 ppm and a standard deviation of 5 ppm. Suppose that you draw a random sample of 14 printers. Part i) Using the information about the distribution of the printing speeds given by the manufacturer, find the probability that the mean printing speed of the sample is greater than 17.45 ppm.
