A fruit-canning company produces 250ml pineapple juice cans at its bottling plant. The population standard deviation for volume of pineapple juice filled in the cans this company measured was 10ml. Assume that this company takes a random sample of 25 cans. What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution?

Almost all medical schools require applicants to take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). To estimate the mean score of those who took the MCAT at WSSU, you will obtain the scores of an SRS of students. The scores follow a Normal distribution, and from published information you know that the standard deviation is 6.5. Suppose that (unknown to you) the mean score of those taking the MCAT at WSSU is 25.0. If you choose one student at random, what is the probability that the students scores is between 20 and 30?
A taxicab company in New York City analyzed the daily number of miles driven by each of its drivers. It found the average distance was 200 mi with a standard deviation of 30 mi. Assuming a normal distribution, what prediction can we make about the percentage of drivers who will log in either more than 260 mi or less than 170 mi?

The use of chemicals is considered to increase the resistance to scratches during a painting process. The average durability was found to be 7.5 br and the standard deviation was found to be 1.5 br for the 15 parts painted using item A. The average durability was found to be 8.8 br and the standard deviation was found to be 1.2 br for the 12 parts painted using item B. What is the value of the test statistic calculated in the test that will be performed to determine which substance to choose? Determine it at the 99% confidence level with the assumption that the anacuttle variances are equal.Answer options group A)- 1,21 B) -4.68 C)- 3.26 D)-2.44
