on any day, the number of accidents on the highway has a Poisson distribution with parameter A. The parameter A varies from day to day an is itself a random variable. Find the mean and variance of the number of accidents per day when A is uniformly distributed on (0,3)
Let x be a random variable that represents the weights in kilograms (kg) of healthy adult female deer (does) in December in a national park. Then x has a distribution that is approximately normal with mean ? = 70.0 kg and standard deviation ? = 7.6 kg. Suppose a doe that weighs less than 61 kg is considered undernourished. (c) To estimate the health of the December doe population, park rangers use the rule that the average weight of n = 45 does should be more than 67 kg. If the average weight is less than 67 kg, it is thought that the entire population of does might be undernourished. What is the probability that the average weight x for a random sample of 45 does is less than 67 kg (assuming a healthy population)? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)(d) Compute the probability that x< 71.8 kg for 45 does (assume a healthy population). (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Suppose that X1,X2,...,X200 is a set of independent and identically distributed Gamma random variables with parameters α = 4,λ = 3. Describe the normal distribution that would correspond to the sum of those 200 random variables if the Central Limit Theorem holds.
Let X1, X2, ... X100 be 100 independent and identically distributed continuous random variables with mean = 37 and variance = 25. Let S = X1 + X2 + ... + X100, Use the Central Limit Theorem to approximate the probability that S is less than 3800 i.e. P(S<3800). Enter your answer to 4 decimal places. Hint: Calculate the mean and variance of S. By the Central Limit Theorem, S is approximately normally distributed with mean and variance when the sample size is larger than 30. In other words, standardization of S leads to S- Hs
