A machine is tasked with assembling a specific toy. The amount of time that it takes the machine to assemble that toy is reasonably modeled by the uniform distribution with minimum 2.3 seconds and maximum 2.7 seconds, with toy assembly times being independent of each other. 1. An inspector comes by and is upset to see that the last four toys took more than 2.5 seconds each to be assembled. What is the probability of this occurring?

His school plays five home games and his five acceptances come on the 3rd, 6th, 4th, 2nd, and 9th girl he asks. Assume that the probability, e, that any girl he asks will accept his invitation is constant from girl to girl. Mind ML estimate of e.

Ch6. "A carpet manufacturing company is comparing the tensile strengths of two different types of synthetic fiber. Synthetic fiber A used in manufacturing carpet has tensile strength that is normally distributed with mean 75 psi and standard deviation 12 psi, and synthetic fiber B has tensile strength that is 70 psi and standard deviation 12 psi. Random sample of nA = 16 and nB = 9 of fiber specimens are selected. Find the probability that the sample mean of fiber specimen A exceeds the sample mean of fiber specimen B by 4."
Which of the following distributions would be most likely to have a tail, and why? A. The GPAs of NMSU students, because some students have a 4.0. B. Class scores on a quiz, with 10 points possible, because the most common scores are 7, 8, and 9. C. The time it takes to install a new piece of computer software, because usually it’s quick, but occasionally it takes hours or even days. D. The amount of money you spend each month on food, because food prices change a little from day to day, and sometimes things are on sale.
