A freight company is shipping boxes that have an expected value of 2000 TL. The variance of the value of boxes is 40,000 TL². The expectation of the number of boxes that are damaged as a result of falling as they are being moved is 60. The variance in the number of boxes that are damaged (due to these falls) is 90. The number of damaged boxes and the value of each box is independent. Let S represent the total value of damage incurred as a result of all of the boxes that fell. a) Calculate E[S]. b) Calculate Var[S].

Total blood volume (in ml) per body weight (in kg) is important in medical research. For healthy adults, the red blood cell volume mean is about µ = 28 ml/kg. Red blood cell volume that is too low or too high can indicate a medical problem. Suppose that Roger has had seven blood tests, and the red blood cell volume sample mean was 32.7 ml/kg. Let x be a random variable that represents Roger’s red blood cell volume. Assume that x has a normal distribution and  = 4.75. Do the data indicate that Roger’s red blood cell volume is different (either way) from µ = 28 ml/kg? use a 0.01 level of significance.

Two devices are used to measure the length of beam. If the true length of the beam is L, the measurement error made by one device, E, , is normally distributed with mean 0 and standard deviation 0.006L, and the measurement error made by the other device, E, , is normally distributed with mean 0 and standard deviation 0.004L. The two measurement errors are independent of each other. What is the probability that the average value of the two measurements, (E, + E,)/2, is within 0.5% of L? Note that this problem can be done using the attached table of the cdf of the standard normal random variable.
