According to a study by Dr. John McDougall of his live-in weight loss program at St. Helena Hospital, the people who follow his program lose between 6 and 15 pounds a month until they approach trim body weight. Let's suppose that the weight loss is uniformly distributed. We are interested in the weight loss of a randomly selected individual following the program for one month. Give the distribution of X.Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal. f(x)=__ where ≤ X ≤. μ = . σ =. Find the probability that the individual lost more than 8 pounds in a month.Suppose it is known that the individual lost more than 9 pounds in a month. Find the probability that he lost less than 13 pounds in the month

Ria wants to know if there is a specific difference between the average monthly hair growth using Shampoo A vs Shampoo B. She recruited 8 participants and compared their average monthly hair growth (in centimeters) using two different brands. Her data is assumed to be normally distributed which produced the following values:
Mariah Jacobsen is the marketing manager at ABC Electronics, a major consumer electronics supplier in the northwest. Over the last five years, sales of the company's flagship product - the Wizer Anonymizer (the WA) - have been 45000, 45500, 44500, 46000 and 44000 units. This rate of sales is considered average for the product over the last twenty years or so. Ms. Jacobsen believes that the distribution of the WA's sales is normal with a standard deviation of 1500 units. If she were asked to make a forecast of next year's sales to upper management, what is the likelihood that she would be correct if she predicts sales between 43000 and 46000?
Below are some frequency distribution data that were collected from a recent experiment that looks at musicians and their ability to improvise. Let’s say for the sake of this example that these are continuous data. X is the number of years playing piano, and f is the frequency reported. X f7 66 55 54 53 12 21 00 2 a. Compute the median number of years that participants reported playing the piano without using a formula.
The table shows population statistics for the ages of Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor winners at an awards ceremony. The distributions of the ages are approximately bell-shaped. Compare the z-scores for the actors in the following situation. Best Actor Best Supporting Actor µ= 42.0 µ= 51.0 o = 8.7 o = 12 In a particular year, the Best Actor was 40 years old and the Best Supporting Actor was 77 years old. Determine the z-scores for each. Best Actor: z %3D Best Supporting Actor: z = (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Interpret the z-scores. The Best Actor was the mean, which unusual. The Best Supporting Actor was the mean, which unusual.

Suppose there are 5 students in a room. The mean age is 19.8 years, and the median age is 19. If the youngest person leaves and is not replaced by another person, what happens to the mean and the median? O The mean and median increase. The mean increases, and the median either increases or stays the same. The mean increases, but it is impossible to determine whether the median increases, decreases, or stays the same. The mean increases, and the median stays the same. The median increases, and the mean either increases or stays the same.
