Forest Fires in Portugal A study of forest fires in Portugal looked at the effect of many variables on the area of forest that is burned by the fire. The study included 517 forest fires and found a mean area burned of 12.85 hectares with a standard deviation of 63.66. (The standard deviation is much bigger than the mean because the data is very right-skewed.) Find and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the mean area burned by all forest fires in Portugal. A) What is the Confidence interval (round to three decimal places): B) Interpretation: A. We are confident that 90% of the forest fires in this sample burn an area within those two numbers. B. We are 90% confident that the mean area burned for all forest fires in Portugal is between those two numbers. C. We are confident that 90% of forest fires in Portugal burn an area within those two numbers. D. We are 90% confident that the mean area burned for this sample of forest fires in Portugal is between those two numbers.
Mugs are packed into padded crates for shipping. Each crate contains 15 mugs. The mugs are normally distributed with a mean of 450g and a standard deviation of 5g. The weights of the empty crates are also normally distribute with a mean of 150g and a standard deviation of 13g.(a) Calculate the mean and variance for a fullncrate.(b) 90% of the full crates lie below a certainweight, what is that weight? use only maths and DO NOT USE THE EXCEL METHOD

The number of chocolate chips in a popular brand of cookie is normally distributed with a mean of 19 chocolate chips per cookie and a standard deviation of 3.5 chips. When the cookies come out of the oven, only the middle 90% in terms of the number of chocolate chips are acceptable (the rest are considered defective). What are the cutoff numbers for the number of chocolate chips in acceptable cookies? (Give your answers to three decimal places)______ and _______
O of 5 A random sample of 77 eighth grade students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 273. This test result prompts a state school administrator to declare that the mean score for the state's eighth graders on this exam is more than 270. Assume that the population standard deviation is 35. At a = 0.09, is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e). %3D (a) Write the claim mathematically and identify Ho and Ha. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Ho: μ2 270 (claim) Ha: В. Но: С. Но: u = 270 Ha: H = 270 (claim) Ha: H> 270 μ> 270 (claim) H 270 (claim) O E.

A credit bureau analysis of undergraduate students' credit records found that the average number of credit cards in an undergraduate's wallet was 4.03. It was also reported that in a random sample of 136 undergraduates, the sample mean number of credit cards that the students said they carried was 2.5. The sample standard deviation was not reported, but for purposes of this exercise, suppose that it was 1.1. Is there convincing evidence that the mean number of credit cards that undergraduates report carrying is less than the credit bureau's figure of 4.03? (Use a = 0.05. Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to three decimal places.) n USE SALT t = P-value = State your conclusion. O Do not reject H.. We have convincing evidence that the mean number of credit cards carried by undergraduates is less than the credit bureau's figure of 4.03. O Reject Ha. We do not have convincing evidence that the mean…
U You “clock" 27 of Caruthers' fastballs, obtaining a mean of 118.7 mph, with a standard deviation of 2.2 mph. To a 1% level of significance, can it be asserted that the average Caruthers fastball (in general) is over 115 mph? JAssume that the “speeds" of all of Caruthers' fastballs are normally distributed.]
Suppose that 14 children, who were learning to ride two-wheel bikes, were surveyed to determine how long they had to use training wheels.

In a certain country the heights of adult men are normally distributed with a mean of 69.7 inches and a standard deviation of 2.5 inches. The country's military requires that men have heights between 65 inches and 76 inches. Determine what percentage of this country's men are eligible for the military based on height. The percentage of men that are eligible for the military based on height is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) %. (1) U +
Partially Correct (a): Your answer is incorrect. Students at a major university are complaining of a serious housing crunch. They complain that many students have to commute too far to school because there is not enough housing near campus. University officials respond with the following information: the mean distance commuted to school by students is 15.0 miles, and the standard deviation of the distance commuted is 3.9 miles. Assuming that the university officials' information is correct, complete the following statements about the distribution of commute distances for students at this university.
A standardized exam's scores are normally distributed. In a recent year, the mean test score was 20.5 and the standard deviation was 5.4.
