The screen displays a text about linear transformations and how they affect the mean and standard deviation of a random variable. Below is the transcribed text:---**Linear Transformation of a Random Variable**For a random variable $ x $, a new random variable $ y $ can be created by applying a linear transformation $ y = a + bx $, where $ a $ and $ b $ are constants. If the random variable $ x $ has mean $ \mu_x $ and standard deviation $ \sigma_x $, then the mean, variance, and standard deviation of $ y $ are given by the following formulas:- Mean of $ y $: $ \mu_y = a + b\mu_x $- Variance of $ y $: $ \sigma^2_y = b^2\sigma^2_x $- Standard deviation of $ y $: $ \sigma_y = |b|\sigma_x $**Application Example: Salary Adjustment**The mean annual salary for employees at a company is $36,000. At the end of the year, each employee receives a $4000 bonus and a 7% raise (based on salary). What is the new mean annual salary (including the bonus and raise) for the employees?**The new mean annual salary is** $[ \_\_\_ ]---The problem illustrates the process of calculating a new mean salary by applying a fixed bonus and a percentage increase to the initial mean salary. The challenge is to determine the total effect of these adjustments.

Let a be a random variable representing the percentage of protein content for early bloom alfalfa hay. The average percentage protein content of such early bloom alfalfa should be u = 17.2%. A farmer's co-op is thinking of buying a large amount of baled hay but suspects that the hay is from a later summer cutting with lower protein content. A small amount of hay was removed from each bale of a random sample of 50 bales. The average protein content from the samples was determined by a local agricultural college to be -15.8% with a sample standard deviation of S = 5.3%- At a = .05, does this hay have lower average protein content than the early bloom alfalfa?
Let G and H be two independent unbiased estimators of 0. Assume that the variance of G is two times the variance of H. Find the constants a andb so that aG + bH is an unbiased estimator with the smallest possible variance for such a linear combination.
Psi is a measure of compressive strength, or the ability of the material to carry loads and handle compression. The desired concrete psi rating used for sidewalks and residential driveways ranges from 2500psi to 3000psi obtained from mixing cement, stone, and sand in different ratios but with the same amount of water. The summary of the psi's of three (3) such concrete mixes made by three (3) different civil engineering students is given as follows: Mean vector: The variance-covariance matrix: Concrete mix Mean Concrete mix 1 Concrete mix 2 Concrete mix 3 Concrete mix 1 | Concrete mix 2 2700 18 12 2 3000 12 16 3 2400 Concrete mix 3 16 25 Let the random variable Y be the vector of the psi's of concrete mixes obtained by the students, i.e. Y1, denotes the psi of concrete mix made by student 1, Y2 is the psi of concrete mix made by student 2 and Y3 is the psi of concrete mix psi made by student 3.

Consider the bivariate distribution for the random variables x and y. The correlation coefficient of x and y is the covariance a. Consider the bivariate distribution for the random variables x and y. The correlation coefficient of x and y is the covariance b. multiplied by the product of the standard deviations for x and y. c. multiplied by the standard deviation of y and divided by the standard deviation of x. d. multiplied by the standard deviation of x and divided by the standard deviation of y.
An experiment where a patient's blood pressure is measured before a treatment (call it X;) and after the treatment (call it Y;). The difference in the blood pressue of each patient, Z; = Y; – X; is also recorded. The sample size n of patients is large. Suppose the true population mean of the patient's blood pressure before treatment is 41 and after treatment is 42, both unknown. Suppose the true population variance of the patient's blood pressue before and after treatment are the same, but unknown. Find an approximate 1-a confidence interval for 12 - 41- 2.
