From past experience, a professor knows that the test scores of a student taking the final exam is a random variable with mean 60 and the standard deviation 16. How many students would have to take the exam to ensure with probability 0.9 that the class average would be within 5 of 60? You need to use the Central Limit Theorem.

Let x be a random variable that represents white blood cell count per cubic millimeter of whole blood. Assume that x has a distribution that is approximately normal with mean of 7500 and estimated standard deviation of 1750. A test result of x<3500 is an indication of leukopenia. This indicates bone marrow depression that may be the result of a viral infection. What is the probability that on a single test x<3500? Suppose that a doctor uses the average for two tests taken a week apart. What can we say about the probability distribution of ? What is the probability that <3500? Repeat part b with n = 3 tests taken a week apart. Compare your answers for parts a, b, and c. How did the probabilities change as n increased? If a person had <3500 based on three tests, what conclusion would you draw as a doctor or a nurse?

A certain type of cancer is known to exist in 2 percent of the population of the males in their fifties. A test for the disease has been is advertised by a pharmaceutical company to have sensitivity 0.97 and specificity 0.95. A male is randomly selected from this population, and tested. The test result is negative. First determine the probability this male has the cancer.
The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of 280 days and a standard deviation of 16 days. (a) Find the probability that an individual woman has a pregnancy shorter than 271 days. (b) If 25 women are randomly selected, find the probability that they have a mean preg- nancy shorter than 271 days. (c) There should be a difference in your method for the previous two questions. Explain what you did differently for each problem and explain WHY your answers are different. (d) Find the probability that an individual woman has a pregnancy longer than 300 days. (e) Find the probability that an individual woman has a pregnancy between 280 and 300 days. (f) What is the cutoff number of days for a pregnancy for the top 15% of women? (g) What is the cutoff number of days for a pregnancy for the bottom 20% of women?
The lifetime of a specific species of mammal is normally distributed with mean μ=22 years and standard deviation σ=4 years. We pick randomly a mammal from the above species. What is the probability the mammal lives: Less than 28years? Between 20 years and 28 years? Exactly 67% of the mammal of this species live at most y What is the value of y?

A leading magazine (like Barron's) reported at one time that the average number of weeks an individual is unemployed is 17 weeks. Assume that for the population of all unemployed individuals the population mean length of unemployment is 17 weeks and that the population standard deviation is 3 weeks. Suppose you would like to select a random sample of 36 unemployed individuals for a follow-up study. Find the probability that a single randomly selected value is less than 16. P(X < 16) =| 0.3694
A leading magazine, (like Barron's) reported at one time that the average number of weeks an individual is unemployed is 31 weeks. Assume that for the population of all unemployed individuals the population mean length of unemployment is 31 weeks and that the population standard deviation is 4 weeks. Suppose you would like to select a random sample of 34 unemployed individuals for a follow-up study. Find the probability that a single randomly selected value is less than 30. P(X < 30) = Find the probability that a sample of size n = 34 is randomly selected with a mean less than 30. P(M < 30) = Enter your answers as numbers accurate to 4 decimal places.

A dentist wants to estimate the average number of patients coming into her clinic each day. She estimates the standard deviation is 6 patients per day. If she wants to use a random sample of previous days for her sample, how many days should she include to be 95% sure her estimate is off by no more than 0.3 patients per day?

If all possible samples of size 16 are drawn from a normal population with mean equal to 50 and standard deviation equal to 5, what is the probability that a sample mean, ,will fall in the interval from Hx-1.90g to Hx –0.40g ? Assume that the sample means can be measured to any degree of accuracy.
Procter and Gamble reported that an American family of four washes an average of 2000 pounds of clothes each year. If the standered deviation of the distribution is 187.5 pounds, find the probability that the mean of a randomly selected same of 50 families of 4 will be less that 1950 pounds. Round your awnser to four decimal places and assume the variable is normally distributed
