) According to my Fitbit, during winter quarter of 2020 (before the COVID-19 shutdown) from January 6, 2020, to March 15, 2020 (n1 = 10 weeks), I averaged 89,051.4 steps per week with a standard deviation of 8,015.2 steps per week. So far this quarter, from September 6 through October 17, (n2 = 6 weeks), I averaged 95,350.7 steps per week with a standard deviation of 7,994.6 steps per week. Conduct a two-sided test of the equality of variances for these two time periods at the .05 level. Be sure to clearly state the null and alternative hypotheses. Conduct a one-sided test of the equality of means for these two time periods at the .05 level. Be sure to clearly state the null and alternative hypotheses. Is the increase in my weekly walking activity this quarter compared to the last time I taught classes in person (winter quarter 2020) statistically significant?

Suppose that the recovery time from the infection with a certain virus is normally distributed with a mean of 6.5 days and a standard deviation of 1.5 days. Answer each question. Draw a graph illustrating the recovery time. Make sure to indicate 3 standard deviations from the mean. P(X>7.3)=? P(X <4.7)=? P(5.1<X<7.7)=? John's recovery time is lasting more than 9.2 days. Is it unusual (and should he be concerned yet)? What is the middle 90% recovery time? What is the 80%tile recovery time?
Suppose that the hemoglobin levels among healthy females are normally distributed with a mean of 14.1 gdL. Research shows that exactly 95% of healthy females have a hemogoblin level of 16.1 gdL. What is the standard deviation of the distribution of hemoglobin levels and healthy females. Carry you intermediate computations to atleast four decimal places, and round your answer to at least two decimal places.
100 specimens are tested in determining the life cycle of a certain type of crank shaft which is used in a particular brand of car engine. The tests have shown an average life cycle of μ=44 Gc (1 Gc = 1 gigacycles = 109 cycles) and a standard deviation of σ=33x10-1 Gc. 200 hundred thousand cars using that engine have been sold and are on the traffic. After what number of Gigacycles would you expect 7 % of the shafts broken down?
Jeremiah earned a score of 530 on Exam A that had a mean of 450 and a standard deviation of 40. He is about to take Exam B that has a mean of 63 and a standard deviation of 20. How well must Jeremiah score on Exam B in order to do equivalently well as he did on Exam A? Assume that scores on each exam are normally distributed.
According to the historical data, the life expectancy in the United States is less than or equal to the life expectancy in Ireland. A new study has been made to see whether this has changed. Records of 235 individuals from the United States who died recently are selected at random. The 235 individuals lived an average of 77.6 years with a standard deviation of 6.7 years. Records of 220 individuals from Ireland who died recently are selected at random and independently. The 220 individuals lived an average of 76.3 years with a standard deviation of 5.5 years. Assume that the population standard deviations of the life expectancies can be estimated by the sample standard deviations, since the samples that are used to compute them are quite large. At the 0.1 level of significance, is there enough evidence to support the claim that the life expectancy, u,, in the United States is greater than the life expectancy, µ, in Ireland? Perform a one-tailed test. Then fill in the table below. Carry…

Suppose that the speeds of car is traveling in California freeways are normally distributed with a mean of 63 mph. The highway patrols policy is to issue tickets for cars with speeds exceeding 80 mph. The records show that exactly 2% of the speed succeed this limit find the standard deviation of the speed of cars traveling on California’s freeway. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places in round your answer to at least one decimal place.
