A drug tester claims that a drug cures a rare skin disease 75% of the time. Theclaim is checked by testing the drug on 100 patients. If at least 72 patients arecured, the claim will be accepted. Find the probability that the claim will berejected assuming that the manufacturer's claim is true. Use the normaldistribution to approximate the binomial distribution if possible.

Given, ( n = 100 ): Number of patients tested.( p = 0.75 ): Probability of a patient being cured as…

A dean in the business school claims that GMAT scores of applicants to the school's MBA program have increased during the past 5 years. Five years ago, the mean and standard deviation of GMAT scores of MBA applicants were 550 and 60, respectively. 30 applications for this year's program were randomly selected and the GMAT scores recorded. If we assume that the distribution of GMAT scores of this year's applicants is the same as that of 5 years ago, find the probability of erroneously concluding that there is not enough evidence to supports the claim when, in fact, the true mean GMAT score is 590. Assume αα is 0.02.

From the past experience, 30% of the stocks are profitable. What is the probability that 5 of the 7 stocks are profitable? Find the mean and standard deviation of the random variable X, where X is the number of profitable stocks out of 7.
* Your answer is incorrect. Service time for a customer coming through a checkout counter in a retail store is a random variable with the mean of 3.5 minutes and standard deviation of 3.5 minutes. Suppose that the distribution of service time is fairly close to a normal distribution. Suppose there are two counters in a store, n₁ = 2 customers in the first line and n₂ = 13 customers in the second line. Find the probability that the difference between the mean service time for the shorter line X₁ and the mean service time for the longer one X₂ is more than 0.1 minutes. Assume that the service times for each customer can be regarded as independent random variables. Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76). P = i 98.80
