A women leaves for work between 8 AM and 8:30AM and takes between 40 and 50 minutes to get there. Let the random variable X denote her time of departure, and the random variable Y the travel time. Assuming that these variables are independent and uniformly distributed, find the probability that the women arrives at work before 9 AM

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?
In the airline business, "on-time" flight arrival is important for connecting flights and general customer satisfaction. Is there a difference between summer and winter average on-time flight arrivals? Let x1 be a random variable that represents percentage of on-time arrivals at major airports in the summer. Let x2 be a random variable that represents percentage of on-time arrivals at major airports in the winter. A random sample of n1 = 16 major airports showed that x1 = 74.9%, with s1 = 5.3%. A random sample of n2 = 18 major airports showed that x2 = 70.2%, with s2 = 8.6%. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value a small amount and thereby produce a slightly more "conservative" answer. (a) Does this information indicate a difference (either way) in the population mean percentage of on-time arrivals for summer compared to winter? Use α = 0.05. (i) What is the…

Ivan Pedroso is a long jump athlete who wishes to qualify for the upcoming Summer Olympics. The olympic qualifying standard is 8.22 m in men's long jump, so a jump is considered as successful if it is equal to 8.22 m or more. Suppose that at each jump, Pedroso has a 0.05 chance of jumping successfully. Assume that all jumps are independent. For j= 1,2,3,...Let X; be the random variable that equals 1 if Pedroso jumps successfully at jth jump, and equals 0 otherwise. Let Y be the trial number where Pedroso jumps successfully for the first time, and let Z be the total number of successful jumps out of the first 250 trials. Which of the following is true? Select one or more: O a. P(Y = 5) = ()(0.05) (0.95)20 O b. E(Z) = 250E(X1) O c. Z has a geometric distribution O d. E(Y) = 20 O e. E(Z) = 20 O f. Y has a binomial distribution Og. X, has a geometric distribution O h. (X_3 \) has a Bernoulli distribution Oi. (E(X_5)=0.25 \)

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 u = 28 ml/kgt. 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 volumes were as follows. 31 26 43 37 32 38 29 Let x be a random variable that represents Roger's red blood cell volume. Assume that x has a normal distribution and o = 4.75. Do the data indicate that Roger's red blood cell volume is different (either way) from u = 28 ml/kg? Use a 0.01 level of significance. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. Will you use a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test? O Ho: H = 28 ml/kg; H,: µ > 28 ml/kg; right-tailed O Ho: H = 28 ml/kg; H,: u < 28 ml/kg; left-tailed O Họ: H + 28 ml/kg; H,: µ = 28 ml/kg; two-tailed O Ho: H = 28 ml/kg; H,: µ + 28 ml/kg; two-tailed (b) What sampling distribution will you…
