An article in a magazine discussed the length of time till failure of a particular product. At the end of the product's lifetime, the time till failure is modeled using an exponential distribution with a mean of 500 thousand hours. In reliability jargon this is known as the "wear-out" distribution for the product. During its normal (useful) life, assume the product's time till failure is uniformly distributed over the range 200 thousand to 1 million hours. Complete parts a through c. a. At the end of the product's lifetime, find the probability that the product fails before 600 thousand hours. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Textbook prices have a seasonal structure on Ebay. At the end of a term, the supply of used books outstrips demand, and the price is lower. Near the start of a term, many students are looking for books, and the price is higher. Suppose we can classify sales for a particular chemistry textbook into these two time periods and an "other" time period in the proportions shown below. We have also listed the average price the textbook sells for in each of these three time periods Start of Term End of Term Other Sales Proportion Average Price 0.43 0.31 0.26 97.97 49.93 73.83 For example, about 45% of Ebay auctions for this chemistry textbook occur at the start of the term and the books sell for an average of $82.52 during this time. Using the information above, compute the average price of the textbook over all seasons. (Do not put a dollar sign in your answer). Round your answer to two decimals. Average Price over all seasons = $
Researchers often rely on surveys to capture a subjective assessment of well-being. One study finds that holding everything else constant, people seem to be least happy when they are in their 40's. Another study suggests that money does buy happiness, but its effects diminishes as income rises above $75000 a year. The accompanying data file includes survey daa of 100 working adults' self-assessed happiness on a scale of ) to 100, along with their age and annual income. Estimate and interpret a regression model based on Age, Age 2 and income. Predict happiness with income equal = to $80000 and age equal to 30, 45, and 60 Years Predict happiness with Age equal = to 60 and income equal to 25,000, 75000, and 125000 Happiness Age Income 69 49 52000 83 47 123000 86 72 112000 73 52 166000 89 68 90000 81 37 152000 75 48 58000 56 48 50000 75 56 93000 57 51 27000 77 60 173000 83 55 173000 85 75 68000 82 69 157000 63 39 40000 70 66 107000 78 34 109000 53…
If actual period demand varies from the forecast by more than 3MAD, this indicates: there is 3% chance that the forecast is wrong. there is a 98% chance that the forecast is wrong. there is a 97% chance that the forecast is wrong. there is a 3% chance that the forecast is correct Moving to the next question prevents changes to this answer:
Previously, De Anza's statistics students estimated that the amount of change daytime statistics students carry is exponentially distributed with a mean of $0.88. Suppose that we randomly pick 25 daytime statistics students. Find the probability that an individual had between $0.80 and $1.00. Graph the situation, and shade in the area to be determined.
Given this data estimate the population in 2060.
Two geysers that are near to each other are labelled as Geyser A and Geyser B. The time between eruptions for a given geyser follows an exponential distribution. The eruption times of the two geysers are independent of one another. The mean amount of time between eruptions of Geyser A is 39 minutes, and the mean amount of time between eruptions of Geyser B is 66 minutes. Given that exactly one of the geysers erupts within the next 49 minutes, determine the probability that it will be Geyser A. O 0.6654 0.7850 O 0.7252 O 0.6953 O 0.7551
Pesticide danger: One of the factors that determines the degree of risk a pesticide poses to human health is the rate at which a pesticide is absorbed into skin after contact. An important question is whether the amount in the skin continues to increase with the length of the contact, or whether it increases for only a short time before leveling off. To investigate this, measured amounts of a certain pesticide were applied to 20 samples of rat skin. Four skins were analyzed at each of the time intervals 1, 2, 4, 10, and 24 hours. The amounts of the chemical (in micrograms) that were in the skin are given in the following table. Duration Amounts Absorbed 1 1.5 2.7 1.6 1.6 2 1.7 1.7 2.4 2.3 4 1.4 2.1 1.6 1.2 10 2.4 1.2 2.1 2.6 24 2.2 1.8 1.7 1.3 Send data to Excel Part: 0 / 2 Part 1 of 2 (a) Construct an ANOVA table.
