A student of EE department wants to measure the voltage drop on a resistor. However, due to badcontacts, any measurement will not yield the exact value of that voltage. The student has decided to makea series of measurements and then use their average value as an estimate of the actual voltage drop. Thestudent believes that the successive measurements are independent random variables, where a standarddeviation is 0.2 [V]. What minimum number of measurements are needed to be at least 95 percent certainthat the result is accurate to within ±0.1 [V]?

Given that alpha =0.05 ,M,E = 0.1 .s.d =0.2 n =?

The maximum patent life for a drug is 17 years. Subtracting the length of time required by the FDA for testing and approval of the drug provides the actual patent life for the drug that is, the length of time that the company has to recover research and development costs and to make a profit. The distribution of the lengths of actual patent lives for new drugs is given below, where Y is a random variable representing actual patent life of a drug (in years): y P(Y=y) F(y) 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 0.06 0.08 0.11 0.15 0.22 0.18 0.12 0.08 a) Complete the table above with the cumulative probability distribution for actual patent life (F(y) = P(Y ≤ y)). b) What is the probability that the actual patent life of a random drug is 6 years or less? c) What is the probability that the actual patent life of a random drug is more than 8 years?

A new drug, Drug X, is being tested in a clinical trial to treat patients with high blood pressure. To determine the effectiveness of Drug X, 100 patients are randomly selected and their blood pressure, in millimeters of Hg, are recorded. They are then prescribed with the drug for 10 weeks. After 10 weeks, their blood pressure is recorded again. Which of the following would be the BEST test to use on this type of scenario, assuming the assumptions are met? Two independent sample proportion z-test Chi-square test of homogeneity Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) Paired t-test Chi-square test of independence Two independent sample mean t-test
The US Geological Survey complied historical data about Old Faithful Geyser from 1870 to 1987. Let x1 be a random variable that represents the time interval (in minutes) between Old Faithful eruptions for the years 1949 to 1952. Based on 8840 observations, the sample mean interval was x1=65.0 minutes. Let x2 be a random variable that represents the time interval in minutes between Old Faithful eruptions for the years 1983 to 1987. Based in 24404 observations the sample mean time interval was x2=71.2 minutes. Historical data suggest that o1= 8.14 minutes and o2= 11.78 minutes. Let u1 be the population mean of x1 and let u2 be the population mean of x2. Compute a 95% confidence interval for u1-u2.(use 2 decimal places) lower limit=upper limit=
A series of tests of fire prevention sprinkler systems that use a foaming agent to quell the fire were performed to determine how long it took (in seconds) for the sprinklers to be activated after the detection of a fire by the system. The system has been designed so that the true average activation time is supposed to be at most 25 seconds. Do the data strongly indicate that the design specifications have not been met? The data for the test are given below: 27 41 22 27 23 35 30 33 24 27 28 22 24
Our bodies have a natural electrical field that is known to help wounds heal. Does changing the field strength slow healing? A series of experiments with newts investigated this question. In one experiment, the two hind limbs of 12 newts were assigned at random to either experimental or control groups. This is a matched pairs design. The electrical field in the experimental limbs was reduced to zero by applying a voltage. The control limbs were left alone. Here are the rates at which new cells closed a razor cut in each limb, in micrometers per hour (a) Make a stemplot of the differences between limbs of the same newt (control limb minus experimental limb). There is a high outlier. (b) A good way to judge the effect of an outlier is to do your analysis twice, once with the outlier and a second time without it. Carry out two t tests to see if the mean healing rate is significantly lower in the experimental limbs, one test including all 12 newts and another that omits the outlier.…
