A manuscript is sent to a typing firm consisting of typists A,B, and C. If it is typed by A, thenthe number of errors made is a Poisson random variable with mean 2.6; if typed by B, then thenumber of errors is a Poisson random variable with mean 3; and if typed by C, then it is aPoisson random variable with mean 3.4. Let X denote the number of errors in the typedmanuscript. Assume that each typist is equally likely to do the work. Find E (X) andVar (X).

Bill Alther is a zoologist who studies Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna).† Suppose that in a remote part of the Grand Canyon, a random sample of six of these birds was caught, weighed, and released. The weights (in grams) were as follows. 3.7 2.9 3.8 4.2 4.8 3.1 The sample mean is x = 3.75 grams. Let x be a random variable representing weights of hummingbirds in this part of the Grand Canyon. We assume that x has a normal distribution and σ = 0.96 gram. Suppose it is known that for the population of all Anna's hummingbirds, the mean weight is μ = 4.80 grams. Do the data indicate that the mean weight of these birds in this part of the Grand Canyon is less than 4.80 grams? Use α = 0.01. Compute the z value of the sample test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)(c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Three balls are selected from a bag that contains 3 blue, 2 green, and 5 yellow balls. Here, we define random variables as B = number of blue balls drawn, G = number of green balls drawn, Y = number of yellow balls drawn. Please list the following values:
Please answer q's a, b, and c For this case, a=3, b=9, and label the random variable A. Student ID number: 300546514
Let a be a random variable representing the percentage of protein content for early bloom alfalfa hay. The average percentage protein content of such early bloom alfalfa should be u = 17.2%. A farmer's co-op is thinking of buying a large amount of baled hay but suspects that the hay is from a later summer cutting with lower protein content. A small amount of hay was removed from each bale of a random sample of 50 bales. The average protein content from the samples was determined by a local agricultural college to be -15.8% with a sample standard deviation of S = 5.3%- At a = .05, does this hay have lower average protein content than the early bloom alfalfa?

Soledad and Tania are both high school students. The number of texts Soledad sends daily, S, is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 6 texts. The number of texts Tania sends daily, T, is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 108 and a standard deviation of 8.1 texts. Assume that S and T are independent random variables. Let D = S – T. What is the probability that Soledad sends more texts on a randomly selected day? 0.104 0.214 0.786 0.896
