Benford's law states that the probability distribution of the first digits of many items (e.g. populations and expenses) is not uniform, but has the probabilities shown in this table. Business expenses tend to follow Benford's Law, because there are generally more small expenses than large expenses. Perform a "Goodness of Fit" Chi-Squared hypothesis test (a = 0.05) to see if these values are consistent with Benford's Law. If they are not consistent, it there might be embezzelment.

Suppose that the weight of a particular hand weight is advertised to be 5 pounds, but it can actually be as little as 4.6 pounds or as much as 5.2 pounds. What is the likelihood that the actual weight of a given hand weight is between 4.9 and 5.1 pounds?
Gubser Welding, Inc., operates a welding service for construction and automotive repair jobs. Assume that the arrival of jobs at the company's office can be described by a Poisson probability distribution with an arrival rate of two jobs per 8-hour day. The time required to complete the jobs follows a normal probability distribution, with a mean time of 2.7 hours and a standard deviation of 1.9 hours. Answer the following questions, assuming that Gubser uses one welder to complete all jobs. (a) What is the mean arrival rate in jobs per hour? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) per hour (b) What is the mean service rate in jobs per hour? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) per hour (c) What is the average number of jobs waiting for service? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Oxygen demand is a term biologists use to describe the oxygen needed by fish and other aquatic organisms for survival. The Environmental Protection Agency conducted a study of a wetland area. In this wetland environment, the mean oxygen demand was μ = 9.1 mg/L with 95% of the data ranging from 6.7 mg/L to 11.5 mg/L. Let x be a random variable that represents oxygen demand in this wetland environment. Assume x has a probability distribution that is approximately normal. QUESTION: (b) An oxygen demand below 8 indicates that some organisms in the wetland environment may be dying. What is the probability that the oxygen demand will fall below 8 mg/L? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

In a recent survey, 70% of management executives thought that it should be mandatory for business students to take a course in Quantitative methods.

Many track hurdlers believe that they have a better chance of winning if they start in the inside lane that is closest to the field. For the data below, the lane closest to the field is Lane 1, the next lane is Lane 2, and so on until the outermost lane, Lane 6. The data lists the number of wins for track hurdlers in the different starting positions. Calculate the chi-square test statistic x to test the claim that the probabilities of winning are the same in the different positions. Use α = 0.05. The results are based on 240 wins.

USA Today reported that Parkfield, California, is dubbed the world's earthquake capital because it sits on top of the notorious San Andreas fault. Since 1857, Parkfield has had a major earthquake on the average of 2.2 times every 22 years. (a) Explain why a Poisson probability distribution would be a good choice for r = number of earthquakes in a given time interval. select one Frequency of earthquakes is a rare occurrence. It is reasonable to assume the events are independent. Frequency of earthquakes is a common occurrence. It is reasonable to assume the events are independent. Frequency of earthquakes is a common occurrence. It is reasonable to assume the events are dependent. Frequency of earthquakes is a rare occurrence. It is reasonable to assume the events are dependent. (b) Compute the probability of at least one major earthquake in the next 22 years. Round ? to the nearest hundredth, and use a calculator. (Use 4 decimal places.)(c) Compute the probability that there…
Problem #1 BBC Construction is in the process of installing power lines in a luxury subdivision. Management wants to minimize the total length of wire used, which will help keep costs down. The subdivision is shown below as a network. Each house has its own letter and the distances between each house are given in hundreds of feet. What do you recommend? Problem #2 The director of security wants to connect security cameras to the main control site from five other locations. Ordinarily, cable would simply be run from each location to the main control site. However, because the environment is potentially explosive, the cable must be run in a special conduit that is continually air purged. This conduit is very expensive but large enough to handle five cables (the maximum that might be needed). Use the minimal-spanning tree technique to find a minimum distance route for the conduit between the locations noted in the network below. (NOTE: It makes no difference which one is the main…
