A energy-generating program is proposed using wind power. Suppose that this form of energy generation is only viable if wind speed in a certain area is over 35 km/h for at least twenty-five percent of the time. If the average wind speed is 25 km/h with a standard deviation of 15 km/h. Is there sufficient evidence to suggest that the project will be viable?

To compare the dry braking distances from 30 to 0 miles per hour for two makes of automobiles, a safety engineer conducts braking tests for 35 models of Make A and 35 models of Make B. The mean braking distance for Make A is 43 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.6 feet. The mean braking distance for Make B is 46 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.5 feet. At α=0.10, can the engineer support the claim that the mean braking distances are different for the two makes of automobiles? Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed. The critical value(s) is/are Find the standardized test statistic z for μ1−μ2.
In the year 2033, Sarai Patterson is a leading traveling nurse. Sarai is interested in reducing the mean recovery time for patients after experiencing a serious injury (assume recovery times are normally distributed). Suppose the mean recovery time is presently 8.6 months. Sarai takes a random sample of 46 patients that have experienced serious injury to participate in a new treatment program and finds the sample mean is 8.1 months and a sample standard deviation of 1.2 months. Using α = 0.05, answer the following questions. a) What is the setup for your null and alternative hypothesis? b) What is the value of the test statistic? c) What is/are the critical value(s)?
The incubation time for a breed of chicks is normally distributed with a mean of 29 days and standard deviation of approximately 3 days. Look at the figure below and answer the following questions. If 1000 eggs are being incubated, how many chicks do we expect will hatch in the following time periods? (Note: In this problem, let us agree to think of a single day or a succession of days as a continuous interval of time. Assume all eggs eventually hatch.) (a) in 23 to 35 days chicks(b) in 26 to 32 days chicks(c) in 29 days or fewer chicks(d) in 20 to 38 days chicks
1. Suppose the weight of a dog breed is approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 75 pounds and a standard deviation of 2.4 pounds. Use the empirical rule to answer question one through five. Using the empirical rule, fill in the blanks: а. 68% of the weights will be between and _% of the weights will be between and 79.8 pounds _% of the weights will be between and b. The empirical rule can only be used when c. What percent of dogs weigh less than 77.4 pounds? d. What percent of dogs weigh more than 72.6 pounds? e. What percent of dogs weigh less than 70.2 pounds?. f. Using appropriate methods find what percent of the dogs will weigh between 68 and 81 Ibs.
An independent consumer group published its finding that the lifetimes of electric bulbs manufactured by BIG Corporation are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 700 days and a standard deviation of 121. BIG Corporation claims that the standard deviation of its electric bulbs is less than 121. Suppose that we want to carry out a hypothesis test to see if BIG Corporation's claim is correct. State the null hypothesis H. and the alternative hypothesis H that we would use for this test. Ho: O H₁: 0 μ X p a S 0<0
Passengers died when a particular water taxi sank. Men are typically heavier than women and children, so when loading a water taxi, assume a worst-case scenario in which all passengers are men. Assume that weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 209 lb and a standard deviation of 43lb. The water taxi that sank had a stated capacity of 25 passengers, and the boat was rated for a load limit of 4000 lb. a. Given that the water taxi that sank was rated for a load limit of 4000 lb, what is the maximum mean weight of the passengers if the boat is filled to the stated capacity of 25 passengers? The maximum mean weight is nothing lb.
