2. An automobile battery manufacturer claims that its midgrade battery has a mean life of 50 months with a standard deviation of 6 months. Suppose the distribution of battery lives of this particular brand is approximately normal. On the assumption that the claims are true, find the probability that a randomly selected battery of this type will last less than 48 months. (Use the software link for every question) (a) Let X = number of months a battery will last. Write the question above in terms of this variable X (b) Find the probability that a single battery of this type will last less than 48 months. (c) Find the probability that the mean of a random sample of 36 batteries will be less than 48 months. (d) Why do you think the values from part (b) and part (c) are different? Explain.
An animal behavioralist wants to test if CBD oil can reduce the number of bites in aggressive ferrets. They have found that ferrets bite an average of µ=32 bites per year with a standard deviation of 5 bites. The researcher is hoping to reduce bites to an average of 25 bites per year. What is the probability of this happening?

Suppose that home prices (in thousands of dollars) in a certain region have a mean of 360 and a standard deviation of 180. A realtor randomly selects a sample of 90 homes in the region. Estimate the probability that the sample mean home price from the realtor's data is greater than 400 (thousand dollars). You must justify your solution, and note any assumptions you are making.

On January 1, 2006, 5,000 healthy men beginning highly stressful jobs in LA County, CA, were enrolled in a follow-up study of relationship between job stress and hypertension (HTN). Medical histories and physical exams revealed that all subjects were normotensive at the time. The study was concluded on 12/31/07. Authors reported following statistics: 10 men developed HTN after 6 months 15 additional men developed HTN after 1 year 20 additional men developed HTN after 18 months 100 men who had not developed HTN withdrew after 1 year Based on this information, calculate incidence density and cumulative incidence and compare (NOTE: you can use person-years or person-months as person-time units).
