An aircraft emergency locator transmitter (ELT) is a device designed to transmit a signal in the case of a crash. The Altigauge Manufacturing Company makes 80% of the ELTS, the Bryant Company makes 15% of them, and the Chartair Company makes the other 5%. The ELTS made by Altigauge have a 4% rate of defects, the Bryant ELTS have a 6% rate of defects, and the Chartair ELTS have a 9% rate of defects (which helps to explain why Chartair has the lowest market share). i) If an ELT is randomly selected from the general population of all ELTS, find the probability that it was made by the Altigauge Manufacturing Company. If a randomly selected ELT is then tested and is found to be ii) defective, find the probability that it was made by the Altigauge Manufacturing Company.

In his doctoral thesis, L. A. Beckel (University of Minnesota, 1982) studied the social behavior of river otters during the mating season. An important role in the bonding process of river otters is very short periods of social grooming. After extensive observations, Dr. Beckel found that one group of river otters under study had a frequency of initiating grooming of approximately 1.7 for each 10 minutes. Suppose that you are observing river otters for 40 minutes. Let r = 0, 1, 2, ... be a random variable that represents the number of times (in a 40-minute interval) one otter initiates social grooming of another. Lambda = 6.8 (b) Find the probabilities that in your 40 minutes of observation, one otter will initiate social grooming four times, five times, and six times. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) P(4) = P(5) = P(6) =
The iHub features an array of 3D printers for student use. 3D printers use plastic filament spools to print out plastic parts. The iHub purchases 85% of their filament spools from Amazon, and the rest of their filament spools from Flash Forge. It has been determined that 9% of the filament spools from Amazon are defective, while only 3% of the filament spools from Flash Forge are defective. i) The iHub randomly selects one filament spool from its inventory. What is the probability of it being a defective filament spool? (three decimals) ii) If a filament spool at the iHub is randomly selected and determined to be defective, what is the probability that the filament spool was purchased from Amazon? (three decimals)
The CDC (Center for Disease Control) did a study to see if there is an association between lung cancer and exposure to asbestos (this data set has been made up. However, my understanding is that the association has already been proven). The doctors at the CDC took a SRS of 20 people with lung cancer and a SRS of 30 people without lung cancer. Suppose the incidence of lung cancer is 1 out of every 1000 people (I made this number up).Let C = a randomly selected person has lung cancerLet E = a randomly selected person has been exposed to asbestosUse 3 decimal places for the following questions.P(C | E) =
A special education teacher did research on whether or not there is a relationship between the number of students in his class and the number incidents of “acting out” behaviors exhibited by the autistic students in the classroom. He collects data for a year and aggregates them by month. He obtained the statistics below, r= -.863 R2=.74 b= -1.212294 a= 131.176598 10.) How does the presence of more students affect the incidents in the class? a) as students are added the incidences increase b) as students are added the incidences decrease c) the number of students does not affect acting out d) the number of students caused more incidents How much of the variability of acting out is explained by the number of students in the class?___________
Amorphophallus johnsonii is a plant called the "corpse flower" that grows in West Africa. Its flowers produce a pungent smell described as "a powerful aroma of rotting fish and faeces". It does so to attract its pollinator, the carrion beetle (Phaeochrous amplus) which live in rotting meat. Beath (1996) observed corpse flowers (hopefully wearing masks) and counted the number of beetles that arrived at each flower over the course of one night. The data is presented below: 51, 45, 61, 76, 11, 117, 7, 132, 52, 149 the mean of this sample is 70.1 beetles the standard deviation of this sample is 48.5 beetles Use the standard deviation of the sample to approximate the standard error of the mean. 1) What is the approximate SE that you calculated? Use the SE approximation method for normal sampling distributions to calculate Confidence Intervals 2) What are the 95% Confidence Intervals for this sample mean? 3) What are the 99% Confidence Intervals for this sample mean? 4) If an expanded…
A serious side effect of allergy medicines is that they cause drowsiness, which can cause many problems for the individuals taking them. In recent years, a new non-drowsy allergy medicine has been developed. The company that created the medicine claims to be the first, once-a-day, non-drowsy allergy medicine (call it Medicine A). An independent research group wanted to check on this claim by comparing medicine A with another allergy medicine not advertised as non-drowsy (call it Medicine B). A random sample of 3,193 allergy sufferers was selected and each individual was randomly assigned to take either Medicine A or Medicine B. From the Medicine A group, 114 of 1,604 reported drowsiness and from the Medicine B group, 155 of 1,589 reported drowsiness. Calculate and label the two sample proportions separately. Next, calculate the difference between these sample proportions by subtracting (Medicine A – Medicine B). Complete these calculations by hand, label each of them, and…
The General Social Survey is completed by adults living in the United States. In 2016 and 2018, respondents who were not living with both of their parents were asked why. In 2016 (group 1). 581 out of 1008 said that the reason was that their parents were divorced or separated. In 2018 (group 2), 483 out of 644 said that the reason was that their parents were divorced or separated. For the alternative hypothesis that there is a difference between the two years (Ha: P2 - P₁ does not equal O), what is the test statistic? Round your answer to two decimal places. Make sure to include a negative sign if appropriate.
A manufacturer of automobile shock absorbers was interested in comparing the durability of its shock absorbers with that of the shock absorbers produced by its biggest competitor. To make the comparison, one of the manufacturer's and one of the competitor's shock absorbers were randomly selected and installed on the rear wheels of each of six cars. After the cars had been driven 20,000 kilometres, the strength of each test shock absorbers was measured, coded and recorded. It is given that the population variances are equal for both groups. The results of the examination are shown in the Table below. Manufacturer's shock absorbers Car number 1 8.8 Competitor's shock absorbers 8.4 10.1 2 10.5 3 12.5 12.0 4 9.7 9.3 5 9.6 9.0 6 13.2 13.0 Determine whether there is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a difference in the mean strength of the two types of shock absorbers after 20,000 kilometres of use by using a level of significance of 0.05.
Sarah believes that completely cutting caffeine out of a person's diet will allow him or her more restful sleep at night. In fact, she believes that, on average, adults will have more than two additional nights of restful sleep in a four-week period after removing caffeine from their diets. She randomly selects 8 adults to help her test this theory. Each person is asked to consume two caffeinated beverages per day for 28 days, and then cut back to no caffeinated beverages for the following 28 days. During each period, the participants record the numbers of nights of restful sleep that they had. The following table gives the results of the study. Test Sarah's claim at the 0.05 level of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal. Let the period before removing caffeine be Population 1 and let the period after removing caffeine be Population 2. Numbers of Nights of Restful Sleep in a Four-Week Period With Caffeine 24 22 24 20…
Anita's, a fast-food chain specializing in hot dogs and garlic fries, keeps track of the proportion of its customers who decide to eat in the restaurant (as opposed to ordering the food "to go"), so it can make decisions regarding the possible construction of in-store play areas, the attendance of its mascot Sammy at the franchise locations, and so on. Anita's reports that 45% of its customers order their food to go. If this proportion is correct, what is the probability that, in a random sample of 5 customers at Anita's, exactly 3 order their food to go?
