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?

The average speeds of cars on a highway are distributed according to a normal distribution. Today, John is on his way to work. As he enters the highway, he notices a car speeding by at 150 km/hr. Ten seconds later, another car speeds by at 160 km/hr. John concludes that today, cars must be going faster for some reason. A few minutes later, John gets into a minor accident. Once again, he concludes that it was inevitable - he got into the accident because cars were driving faster today. Explain what fallacies - if any-are involved in both of John's claims. Is John justified in his conclusions?
Chapters: Normal and Exponential random variables Q: Suppose that scores on an exam are normally distributed with mean 80 and standard deviation 5. a. What is the probability that a student scores higher than 85 percent on the exam? b. Assume that exam scores are independent and that 10 students take the exam. What is the probability that 4 or more students score 85 percent or higher on the exam.
Suppose the manager agrees to pay each employee a $50 bonus if they meet a certain goal. On a typical Saturday, the oil change facility will perform 40 oil changes between 10 AM and 12PM. Treating this as a random sample, there would be a 10% chance of the mean oil change time being at or below what value.
It has been determined that the distribution of faulty products in a factory conforms to Poisson. 2% of the products produced monthly are defective. Calculate the probability of finding 3 defective parts in 250 randomly drawn samples.7a. 0.140b. 0.095c. 0.091D. 0.253to. 0.145
9. This is a simplified inventory problem. Suppose that it costs c dollars to stock anitem and that the item sells for s dollars. Suppose that the number of items thatwill be asked for by customers is a random variable with the frequency functionp(k). Find a rule for the number of items that should be stocked in order tomaximize the expected income. (Hint: Consider the difference of successiveterms.)
.A contractor builds three-unit apartment with construction time follows a normal distribution. Suppose that µ=100 days and o=20 days and the contract called for completion in 125 days and late completion will incur a severe penalty fee. What is the probability of not incurring a penalty fee? * 0.8943 0.8525 0.9125 O 0.9343
A random variable X forms a normally distributed data set with mean 94.2 and standard deviation 2.41 . Determine the probability that X is at most 94.2. (Express your final answer in 4 decimal places)
6. For an insurance coverage, claim counts follow a binomial distribution with m = 4. q varies by insured with the following probabilities: 0.1 0.2 0.3 Probability 0.5 0.25 0.25 An insured submits 0 claims in the first year and 3 claims in the second year. Calculate the predictive probability of the same insured submitting 0 claims in the third year.
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.
The average amount of time until a car accident on a particular 60 mile stretch of road is 30 minutes. Assume(unreasonably) that car accidents are independent, the time to a car accident is exponentially distributed, and that two accidents cannot occur at the same time. a. What is the probability of a car accident occurring in the first hour?b. What is the probability of a car accident occurring between 15 and 45 minutes? c. What is the variance of the time until a car accident occurs? If a car accident has not happened in 2 hours, what is the probability it will happen in the next hour? DO NOT USE THE INTEGRATION METHOD PLEASE.
Historically it has been observed that patients admitted to a certain hospital for treatment of influenza spend a MEAN length of 4.4 days in the hospital. Every flu season, different strains of the flu circulate: Some years the primary strain causes more severe illness (and presumably longer than average hospital stays) and other years less so (meaning presumably shorter than average stays). We assume the hospital stays are NORMALLY distributed. a. A hospital wants to see how this year's flu season compares to previous years. Therefore, state the null and alternate hypotheses that would be used to test whether the hospital is seeing a mean hospital stay that is significantly DIFFERENT than the historical mean of 4.4 days. b. FIFTEEN patients admitted for influenza treatment are then randomly sampled and the length of their hospital stay in days is given below. 4641056443743774 SAMPLE MEAN =?
