10. The number of students who fail per semester is often modeled as a Poisson random variable. Assume that on the average there are 6 students who fail per sem. d. If exponential distribution can model this system, what is the probability that there will be no failing students right after midterm? Let X denote the time in semesters from the start of the interval until the first failure and that a semester is divided by midterm period.e. Calculate the probability that there will be a failing student within the first semester.f. Calculate the probability that a failing student will be first spotted after midterm up to end of the first semester?
9. An article in the Philippine Daily Inquirer discusses the dangers of obesity. The article claims that in the middle managerial positions, obese people get (on average) smaller paychecks than non-obese people. Suppose that you want to test this claim, and you have obtained the following two random samples of employees (data are in thousands of pesos per month): Obese: 45 54 39 67 33 62 39 50 48 51 37 61 70 35 42 40 Non-obese: 54 69 36 77 56 30 72 80 44 73 55 60 49 Test the hypothesis using the 0.05 level of significance.
