For a randomly selected province, let X represent the proportion of adults over age 65 who are employed. (X is restricted to a value between 0 and 1). Suppose the cumulative distribution function for X is given by F(x) = 3x2 – 2x3 for 0≤x≤1. Find the probability that the elderly employment rate is at least 0.6 (that is, at least 60

Let x represent the hemoglobin count (HC) in grams per 100 milliliters of whole blood. The distribution for HC is approximately normal with μ = 14 for healthy adult women. Suppose that a female patient has taken 12 laboratory blood samples in the last year. The HC data sent to her doctor is listed below. We would like to know if the data indicates this patient has significantly high HC compared to the population. 14,19,16,14,19,19,14,21,17,17,14,17 Give the p-value and interpret the results. a) p = 0.0012; Based on 5% significance level, I will reject the null hypothesis and conclude this patient has a high HC level. b) p = 0.0012; Based on 5% significance level, I will fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude this patient does not have a high HC level. c) p = 0.0023; Based on 5% significance level, I will reject the null hypothesis and conclude this patient has a high HC level. d) p = .1053; Based on 5% significance level, I will fail to reject the null hypothesis and…

The type of battery in Jim's laptop has a lifetime (in years) which follows a Weibull distribution with parameters a = 2 and B = 4. The type of battery in Jim's tablet has a lifetime (in years) which follows an exponential distribution with parameter A = 1/4. Find the probability that the lifetime of his laptop battery is less than 2.5 years and that the lifetime of his tablet battery is less than 3.2 years. (Answer as a decimal number, and round to 3 decimal places).
Let X represent the number of homes a real estate agent sells during a given month. Based on previous sales records, she estimates that P(0)= 0.62, P(1)= 0.21, P(2)= 0.13, P(3)= 0.03, P(4)= 0.01, with negligible probability for higher values of x. Find the long-term average number of homes the real estate agent expects to sell each month.
Students arrive one at a time, completely at random, to an advice clinic at a rate of10 per hour. Students take on average 5 minutes of advice but there is wide variation inthe time they need; this variation may be well modeled by the exponential distribution.b. Again assuming one advisor, what is the probability that there are more than tenstudents in the clinic at a random point in time? What is the probability that the timespent in the clinic exceeds 30 minutes?.
he chance of an IRS audit for a tax return with over $25,000 in income is about 2% per year. We are interested in the expected number of audits a person with that income has in a 10-year period. Assume each year is independent. Give the distribution of X.X ~
If the iron cutting machine in a factory works continuously for a certain period of time under the same conditions, it goes into malfunction. In this type of failure, the machine takes 24 hours to cool down. After the machine has cooled down, it continues to work the next day. Assume that the running time (minutes) of this machine until it malfunctions has a normal distribution. The working time of the iron cutting machine until the failure was measured for 9 different days, which were chosen at random. Continuous working time (minutes): 14-26-18-29-12-19-22-30-19 a) Establish the 95% confidence interval for the average uninterrupted working time of this iron cutting machine and interpret the result.b) The factory chief claims that the average continuous operating time of the machine is less than 23 minutes. Test the claim that the average continuous working time of this iron cutting machine is less than 23 minutes at the 0.05 significance level and the result isPlease comment.
