One test for Diabetes is called the A1C test. It measures the percentage of red blood cells that have sugar-coated hemoglobin attached to them (called the A1C score). Assume that the distribution of A1C scores is normally distributed with a mean of 5.0 and a standard deviation of 0.5 (the actual mean and standard deviation are slightly above these values and are gender dependent. I have rounded to make calculations easier). Determine the probability of observing an A1C score greater than 6.06 i.e P(X > 6.06). Enter your answer to 4 decimal places.
The heights of a simple random sample of 400 male high school sophomores in a Midwęstern state are measured. The sample mean is heights of male high school sophomores follow a Normal distribution with a standard 66.2 inches. Suppose that the deviation of = 4.1 inches. What is a 95% confidence interval for u? A) (58.16, 74.24) B) (59.46, 72.94) C) (65.80, 66.60) D) (65.86, 66.54)
A population is hypothesized to have a mean of 10. A sample of 64 results in a mean of 10.5 and standard deviation of 2. What is the p-value associated with the hypothesis that the mean is 10 against the alternative that it is greater than 10?
A random of 15 freshmen takers obtained a mean score of 74 and a variance of 9 on a SASE. Assuming the scores to be normally distributed, construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the variance of scores of the whole freshmen population.
The daily demand for six-packs of Coke at Mr. D’sfollows a normal distribution, with a mean of 120 and astandard deviation of 30. Every Monday, the delivery driverdelivers Coke to Mr. D’s. If the store wants to have only a1% chance of running out of Coke by the end of the week,how many six-packs should be ordered for the week?(Assume that orders can be placed Sunday at midnight.)
he manager of a computer retails store is concerned that his suppliers have been giving him laptop computers with lower than average quality. His research shows that replacement times for the model laptop of concern are normally distributed with a mean of 3.1 years and a standard deviation of 0.6 years. He then randomly selects records on 36 laptops sold in the past and finds that the mean replacement time is 2.9 years.Assuming that the laptop replacement times have a mean of 3.1 years and a standard deviation of 0.6 years, find the probability that 36 randomly selected laptops will have a mean replacement time of 2.9 years or less. P(M < 2.9 years) = Incorrect Enter your answer as a number accurate to 4 decimal places. NOTE: Answers obtained using exact z-scores or z-scores rounded to 3 decimal places are accepted.
The manager of a computer retails store is concerned that his suppliers have been giving him laptop computers with lower than average quality. His research shows that replacement times for the model laptop of concern are normally distributed with a mean of 4 years and a standard deviation of 0.4 years. He then randomly selects records on 27 laptops sold in the past and finds that the mean replacement time is 3.8 years. Assuming that the laptop replacement times have a mean of 4 years and a standard deviation of 0.4 years, find the probability that 27 randomly selected laptops will have a mean replacement time of 3.8 years or less. P(M < 3.8 years) = Enter your answer as a number accurate to 4 decimal places. NOTE: Answers obtained using exact z- scores or z-scores rounded to 3 decimal places are accepted. Based on the result above, does it appear that the computer store has been given laptops of lower than average quality? O Yes. The probability of this data is unlikely to have…

His research shows that replacement times for the model laptop of concern are normally distributed with a mean of 4 years and a standard deviation of 0.5 years. He then randomly selects records on 55 laptops sold in the past and finds that the mean replacement time is 3.8 years.Assuming that the laptop replacement times have a mean of 4 years and a standard deviation of 0.5 years, find the probability that 55 randomly selected laptops will have a mean replacement time of 3.8 years or less.
The manager of a computer retails store is concerned that his suppliers have been giving him laptop computers with lower than average quality. His research shows that replacement times for the model laptop of concern are normally distributed with a mean of 3.3 years and a standard deviation of 0.4 years. He then randomly selects records on 25 laptops sold in the past and finds that the mean replacement time is 3.2 years.Assuming that the laptop replacement times have a mean of 3.3 years and a standard deviation of 0.4 years, find the probability that 25 randomly selected laptops will have a mean replacement time of 3.2 years or less.P(M < 3.2 years) = Enter your answer as a number accurate to 4 decimal places.

Assuming cholestorol data indicated a mean total cholesterol level for adult persons 20 years of age and older in the United States was 190 mg/dl; with a known standard deviation of 30 mg/dl. Use a known standard deviation of 30 mg/dl and the underlying population is normally distributed. What is the probability that a randomly selected adult, ≥ 20 years of age will have a cholesterol level < 180 mg/dl?
The mean number of English courses taken in a two-year time period by male and female college students is believed to be about the same. An experiment is conducted and data are collected from 29 males and 16 females. The males took an average of three English courses with a standard deviation of 0.8. The females took an average of four English courses with a standard deviation of 1.0. Are the means statistically the same? (Assume a 5% level of significance.)
