At the end of summer, the total weight of seeds accumulated by a nest of seed-gathering ants will vary from nest to nest. If the expected total weight of seeds gathered by a randomly chosen nest is 5 pounds, and the standarddeviationis0.5pounds,whatistheprobabilitythatthetotalcombinedweightoftheseedsgatheredby100 nests will be larger than 495 pounds by the end of next summer? To answer this question most accurately, given the information available, we would use: 1. Chebyshev’s theorem 2.Markov’s theorem (3.The Central Limit Theorem 4.The joint probability that the weight of seeds is larger than 5 pounds in each nest.

In a memory test, the test subjects are given a large number and are asked to memorize it. Historical records show that 80% of test subjects pass the test. To pass the test, a subject must exactly repeat all the digits in the number after two hours. A random sample of 625 people to take the memory test is going to be chosen. Let p be the proportion of people in the sample who pass the test. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Find the mean of P. 0 (b) Find the standard deviation of p. 0 (c) Compute an approximation for P(P >0.84), which is the probability that more than 84% of the people in the sample pass the test. Round your answer to four decimal places. 0 X
If Miller (2008) wanted to know if males consume significantly more energy drinks than the overall population average, which of the following are the correct hypotheses?
The control department of a light bulb manufacturer randomly picks 4400 light bulbs from the production lot every week. The records show that, when there is no malfunction, the defect rate in the manufacturing process (due to imperfections in the material used) is 1% . When 1.5% or more of the light bulbs in the sample of 4400 are defective, the control unit calls repair technicians for service. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a)Find the mean of p , where p is the proportion of defective light bulbs in a sample of 4400 when there is no malfunction. (b)Find the standard deviation of p . (c)Compute an approximation for P≥p0.015 , which is the probability that the service technicians will be called even though the system is functioning properly. Round your answer to four decimal places.
A certain medical school accepts only 8% of applicants. A prep program claims that their students are admitted to this medical school at a higher rate. To test their claim at the 10% significance level, we select at random 144 students from the prep program (who all apply to this medical school), and we compute p, the proportion of the sample who are admitted to the medical school.
In late July 2016, the Ohio Department of Health collected vials of water from 12 beaches on Lake Erie to investigate water quality. Those vials were being tested for E. coli bacteria which are found in human and animal feces and can cause illness and disease, should a swimmer accidentally ingest some water. These beaches had been found to be safe earlier in the summer with E. coli counts, on average of 88 per 100-millileter vial (about 3.4 ounces). However, E. coli counts can change due to weather and other variables. Experts consider it unsafe if a vial contains more than 88 E. coli bacteria. The mean E. coli count in the 12 vials was found to be 113.75 with a standard deviation of 93.9. Is this evidence that the water is unsafe? Test at the 1% level of significance. a) State the hypotheses. b) Find the test statistic and p-value. c) Based on your p-value, state whether or not you will reject the null hypothesis and a statement of your findings, relating back to the problem.
Answer A, B1, and B2: A. The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 9.5 percent of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, seven of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult American population. B. Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level…
Some students are sampled at random from the cohort at a certain university and their heights recorded. The university has a student cohort of 1000, and 100 students are sampled. Thirty students are 175cm, thirty are 160cm, fifteen are 163cm, ten are 180cm, ten are 158cm, and five are 170cm. To three significant figures, how many resamples of size 100 can one make from this data? 4.53 × 1058 3.72trillion 2.63 × 1051 135million 3.72 x 1048
