Given a normal random variable X with mean µ = 100 and variance σª = 49 if we randomly observe X=30, is this an unusual observation? (a) This would be an unusual observation because it lies less than 3 standard deviations away from the mean. (b) This would not be an unusual observation because it lies less than 3 standard deviations away from the mean. (c) This would be an unusual observation because it lies more than 3 standard deviations away from the mean. (d) This would not be an unusual observation because it lies more than 3 standard deviations away from the mean.

An empirical researcher reports the following for a particular stock: “In ourdata sample we find that the variance of (de-trended) ex post stock prices is128 whereas the variance of (de-trended) actual stock prices is 110.” Whatmay this tell us? Are there any potential problems with what it may tell us?
The environmental research scientists report that the exhaust emissions for a certain car model has a normal distribution with a mean of 1.45 grams of nitrous oxide per mile and a standard deviation of 0.4. The car manufacturer claims their new process reduces the mean level of exhaust emitted for this car model. A Simple random sample of 36 cars is taken and the mean level of exhaust emitted for this sample is 1.21 grams. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. (b) Calculate the test statistic. (c) Calculate the Zc and p-value. Draw the picture. (d) What is the decision at the 0.05 significance level?

In the year 2033, Sarai Patterson is a leading traveling nurse. Sarai is interested in reducing the mean recovery time for patients after experiencing a serious injury (assume recovery times are normally distributed). Suppose the mean recovery time is presently 8.6 months. Sarai takes a random sample of 46 patients that have experienced serious injury to participate in a new treatment program and finds the sample mean is 8.1 months and a sample standard deviation of 1.2 months. Using α = 0.05, answer the following questions. a) What is the setup for your null and alternative hypothesis? b) What is the value of the test statistic? c) What is/are the critical value(s)?

Professor Nord stated that the mean score on the final exam from all the years he has been teaching is a 79%. Colby was in his most recent class, and his class’s mean score on the final exam was 82%. Colby decided to run a hypothesis test to determine if the mean score of his class was significantly greater than the mean score of the population. α = .01. What is the mean score of the population? What is the mean score of the sample? Is this test one-tailed or two-tailed? Why?
1. Suppose that a variance is thought to be σ² = 3. A random sample of n=25 yields a sample standard deviation of s=2.1. α=0.05. (a) Test the hypothesis that the variance is not equal to 3 by using critical regions. (b) Test the hypothesis using the P-value.

Find the probability that the sample mean of x= 20 hours, as observed here, or one less than 20 hours could arise if the true mean of the lot of batteries is 21.5 hours, assuming a known variance of o = 10 hours, for the individual batteries in the lot. %3D
5. A quality control engineer found that the inner and outer diameters of their ball bearings, denoted respectively as X and Y, are random variables with E(X|Y = y) = 0.7 – 0.3y inches and Var(X|Y = y) = 0.0004y for all values of y. From his past experience he also knew that the mean and variance of the outer diameters were E(Y) = 0.7 inches, and Var(Y) squared inches. = 0.0001 %3D • (i) What are the conditional random variables, E(X|Y) and Var(X|Y)? • (ii) Find the mean of the inner diameters, E(X). • (ii) Find the variance of the inner diameters, Var(X).
A certain variable has a bell-shaped distribution with mean μ=176.16μ=176.16 and standard deviation σ=4.9σ=4.9. You observe a value of x=184x=184. Is this a TYPICAL value of the variable (within 2 standard deviations of the mean), or an UNUSUAL one (more than 2 standard deviations from the mean)?
