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…

A certain type of tree has seedlings randomly dispersed in a large area, with the mean density of seedlings being approximately three per square yard. If the seedlings are randomly dispersed, the number of seedlings per region, Y can be modelled as a Poisson random variable. If a 1 forester randomly locates ten 1-square-yard sampling regions in the area, the probability that none of the regions will contain seedlings is 0.0498. 2.3.1 If the seedlings really are randomly dispersed, the number of seedlings per region, Y, can be modelled as a Poisson random variable with 2 = 3. Interpret 1 =3. 2.3.2 State the moment generating function_of the random variable Y.

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
Executives of a supermarket chain are interested in the amount of time that customers spend in the stores during shopping trips. The mean shopping time, μ , spent by customers at the supermarkets has been reported to be 36 minutes, but executives hire a statistical consultant and ask her to determine whether it can be concluded that μ is greater than 36 minutes. The consultant plans to do a statistical test and collects a random sample of 50 shopping times at the supermarkets. Suppose that the population of shopping times at the supermarkets has a standard deviation of 16 minutes and that the consultant performs her hypothesis test using the 0.05 level of significance.
Total blood volume (in mi) per body wight (in ke) is important in medical research. For healthy aduks, the red blood cell volume mean is about p = 28 ml/kg.t Red blood cell vokume that is too lom ar too high can indicate a medical problem. Suppose that koger has had seven blood tests, and the red blood cell volumes weré as follows Let x be a random variable that represents Roger's red blood cll volume. Assume that x has a narmal distributian and - 4.75. Do the data indicate that koger's red blood cell valume is different (either way) from a- 28 mi/kg?
