An industrial oven used to cure sand cores for a factory manufacturing engine blocks for small cars is able to maintain fairly constant temperatures. The temperature range of the oven follows a normal distribution, with a mean of 450°F and a standard deviation of 25°F. Kamvar Farahbod, president of the factory, is concerned about the large number of defective cores that have been produced in the last several months. If the oven gets hotter than 475°F, the core is defective. What is the probability that the oven will cause a core to be defective? What is the probability that the temperature of the oven will range from 460° to 470°F?

Mason earned a score of 226 on Exam A that had a mean of 250 and a standard deviation of 40. He is about to take Exam B that has a mean of 550 and a standard deviation of 25. How well must Mason 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.
Ann thinks that there is a difference in quality of life between rural and urban living. She collects information from obituaries in newspapers from urban and rural towns in Idaho to see if there is a difference in life expectancy. A sample of 3 people from rural towns give a life expectancy of xr¯=79��¯=79 years with a standard deviation of sr=7.57��=7.57 years. A sample of 14 people from larger towns give xu¯=82��¯=82 years and su=5.48��=5.48 years. Does this provide evidence that people living in rural Idaho communities have different life expectancy than those in more urban communities? Use a 5% level of significance.

In the 1800s, German physician Carl Reinhold, took millions of axillary (i.e. armpit) temperatures from soldiers. This study established that body temperature is normally distributed and the standard normal human body temperature is 98.6°F with a standard deviation of 0.72 °F. In a recent study, American researchers obtained 5,000 axillary temperatures from a Los Angeles hospital. The mean of these temperature readings was 97.9 °F. Assuming a Type I error risk of no more than 5%, did the findings support the theory that human, body temperature has decreased since the 1800s? What is the Z crit?

The weights of an adult female population of killer whales are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 18,000 pounds and a standard deviation of 4,000 pounds. The weights of an adult male population of killer whales are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 30,000 pounds and a standard deviation of 6,000 pounds. A certain adult male killer whale weighs 24,000 pounds. This adult male would have the same z-score weight as a female killer whale whose weight, in kilograms, is equal to which of the following? Select one: 1. 24,000 2. 30,000 3. 36,000 4. 21,000 5. 14,000
Records indicate that the mean weight of mature rainbow trout in Eagle Creek is 1.75 kg with a standard deviation of 0.33 kg. After years of marked oxygen depletion from pollutants in the creek, a biologist wants to see if the standard deviation, o, of weights has changed. The biologist measures the weights of 20 randomly chosen mature rainbow trout from the creek and finds that the sample standard deviation is 0.38 kg. Assume the current weights of mature rainbow trout in the creek follow a normal distribution. Does the biologist have sufficient evidence to conclude that the population standard deviation, o, differs from 0.33 kg? To answer, complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test. Use the 0.10 level of significance.
A random sample of 34 chemists from Washington state shows an average salary of $41857, the population standard deviation for chemist salaries in Washington state is $697. A random sample of 35 chemists from Florida state shows an average salary of $44632, the population standard deviation for chemist salaries in Florida state is $900. A chemist that has worked in both states believes that chemists in Washington make a different amount than chemists in Florida. At a=0.05 is this chemist correct? Let Washington be sample 1 and Florida be sample 2. The correct hypotheses are: Ο Ηο: μι μ2(claim) Ο Ηο: μι 2 με HAM12(claim) Ho: M₁ = H2 1 HAM12(claim) Since the level of significance is 0.05 the critical value is 1.96 and -1.96 The test statistic is: (round to 3 places) The p-value is: (round to 3 places)
Two chemical companies can supply a raw material. The concentration of a particular element in this material is important. The mean concentration for both suppliers is the same, but you suspect that the variability in concentration may differ for the two companies. The standard deviation of concentration in a random sample of n₁ = 10 batches produced by company 1 is s₁ = 4.7 grams per liter, and for company 2, a random sample of n₂ = 16 batches yield s₂ = 5.8 grams per liter. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the two populations variances differ? Use a = 0.05. a. Because 0.321 < 0.657 <3.77, fail to reject the null hypothesis b. Because 0.265 < 0.657 <3.12, fail to reject the null hypothesis c. Because 0.386 < 0.657 <3.01, fail to reject the null hypothesis d. None among the choices
Suppose that you are designing an instrument panel for a large industrial machine. The machine requires the person using it to reach 2 feet from a particular position. The reach from this position for adult women is known to have a mean of 2.7 feet with a standard deviation of 0.5. The reach for adult men is known to have a mean of 3.1 feet with a standard deviation of 0.7. Both women's and men's reach from this position is normally distributed. If this design is implemented, (a) what percentage of women will not be able to work on this instrument panel? (b) What percentage of men will not be able to work on this instrument panel?
