According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 81.9% of American Airlines flights were on time in 2017. Assume this percentage still holds true for American Airlines. For the next 39 flights from American Airlines, use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution to complete parts a through d. a. Determine the probability that fewer than 29 flights will arrive on time.

The average fruit fly will lay 375 eggs into rotting fruit. A biologist wants to see if the average will be greater for flies that have a certain gene modified. The data below shows the number of eggs that were laid into rotting fruit by several fruit flies that had this gene modified. Assume that the distribution of the population is normal. 379, 406, 378, 394, 369, 369, 402, 383, 367, 357, 401, 407, 357, 394, 367 What can be concluded at the the a = 0.05 level of significance level of significance? a. For this study, we should use t-test for a population mean b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Но: 375 H1: 375 c. The test statistic (please = show your answer to decimal places.) d.

In 1995, the median price of a PC was $1200. Suppose that a random sample of100 persons who bought their PCs during that year recorded the amount spent (byeach of them) on his/her PC. State the approximate sampling distribution of ˆp, theproportion of persons who spent more than $1200 on a PC. Find the probabilitythat more than 60% of this group spent more than $1200.
