For an applicant to qualify for a scholarship grant in a certain university, the applicant must belong to the top 5% in an entrance test. If the test has a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 10, find the lowest possible score to qualify for the scholarship. Assume that the scores are distributed normally. Find the x value that represents the upper 5% of the normal distribution b. Find the area under the normal distribution from 100 to x а. с. Find the corresponding z-value of the area in letter b d. Substitute into the z-score formula, then solve for the value of x

Let x be a random variable that represents red blood cell count (RBC) in millions of cells per cubic millimeter of whole blood. Then x has a distribution that is approximately normal. For the population of healthy female adults, suppose the mean of the x distribution is about 4.78.

A person's body mass index (BMI) is computed by dividing the weight (kg) by the square of height (m). The accompanying table contains the BMI statistics for random samples of males and females. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributedpopulations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Let population 1 be females. Female BMI: n=69 x=29.14 s=7.41 Male BMI: n=79 x=28.18 s=5.24 The test statistic is The P-value is Construct a confidence interval appropriate for testing the claim in part (a). The ___% confidence interval estimate is ___<μ1−μ2<___.

Researchers wanted to determine if carpeted rooms contained more bacteria than uncarpeted rooms. To determine the amount of bacteria in a room, researchers pumped the air from the room over a Petri dish at the rate of 1 cubic foot per minute for eight carpeted rooms and eight uncarpeted rooms. Colonies of bacteria were allowed to form in the 16 Petri dishes. The results are given in the table below. Assume the distribution to be approximately normal. Do carpeted rooms have more bacteria than uncarpeted rooms?
