A fair die has its faces numbered from 1 to 6. Let random variable F represent the number landing face up when the die is tossed. The probability distribution for the random variable has mean 3.5 and standard deviation 1.7078. Consider a simulation with 400 trials designed to estimate the sampling distribution of the sample mean for 5 tosses of the die. For each trial, the die is tossed 5 times, and the mean of the 5 values landing face up is recorded. The mean and standard deviation of the results of the simulation should be close to which of the following? Mean 3.5 and standard deviation 1.7078 Mean 3.5 and standard deviation 0.7638 Mean 3.5 and standard deviation 0.0854 Mean 17.5 and standard deviation 1.7078 Mean 17.5 and standard deviation 0.7638

Assume that different groups of couples use a particular method of gender selection and each couple gives birth to one baby. This method is designed to increase the likelihood that each baby will be a girl, but assume that the method has noeffect, so the probability of a girl is 0.5. Assume that the groups consist of 32 couples. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. Find the mean and the standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 32 births.

17 percent of U.S. employees who are late for work blame oversleeping. You randomly select four U.S. employees who are late for work and ask them whether they blame oversleeping. The random variable represents the number of U.S. employees who are late for work and blame oversleeping. Find the mean of the binomial distribution. μ=
The number of typing errors made by a typist has a Poisson distribution with an average of three and a half errors per page. If five or more errors appear on a given page, the typist must retype the whole page. What is the probability that the typist makes 3 errors on a page? What is the probability that a randomly selected page does not need to be retyped?
The tread life of tires mounted on light-duty trucks follows the normal probability distribution with a population mean of 60,000 miles and a population standard deviation of 4,000 miles. Suppose we select a sample of 90 tires and use a simulator to determine the tread life. What is the likelihood of finding that the sample mean is between 59,050 and 60,950? 0.4878 0.9756 0.9878 0.5122
