Amstat News (December 2004) lists median salaries for associate professors of statistics at research institutions and at liberal arts and other institutions in the United States. Assume a sample of 200 associate professors from research institutions having an average salary of $70,750 per year with a standard deviation of $6000. Assume also a sample of 200 associate professors from other types of institutions having an average salary of $65,200 with a standard deviation of $5000. Test the hypothesis that the mean salary for associate professors in research institutions is $2000 higher than for those in other institutions. Use a 0.05 level of significance.

You are given the following: i) A loss occurrence in excess of $1 billion may be caused by a hurricane, an earthquake, or a fire. ii) Hurricanes, earthquakes, and fires occur independently of one another. iii) The number of hurricanes causing a loss occurrence in excess of $1 billion in a one-year period follows a Poisson distribution. The expected amount of time between such hurricanes is 2.0 years. iv) The number of earthquakes causing a loss occurrence in excess of $1 billion in a one-year period follows a Poisson distribution. The expected amount of time between such earthquakes is 5.0 years. v) The number of fires causing a loss occurrence in excess of S1 billion in a one-year period follows a Poisson distribution. The expected amount of time between such fires is 10.0 years. Determine the expected amount of time (in years) between loss occurrences in excess of $1 billion.

According to a construction company plan, a project must be implemented in three consecutive stages during six months. The chance that the first stage is completed on time is (0.5). The chance that the second stage is completed on time is (0.3) given that the first stage is completed on time. The chance that the third stage is completed on time is (0.2) given that both the first and the second stages are completed on time. Accordingly, the probability will be equal to (1) when all three stages .are completed on time True O False O
