From generation to generation, the mean age when smokers first start to smoke varies. However, the standard deviation of that age remains constant at around 2.1 years. A survey of 42 smokers of this generation was done to see if the mean starting age is at least 19. The sample mean was 18.1 with a sample standard deviation of 1.3. Do the data support the claim at the 5% level?Note: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.) State the distribution to use for the test. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) X ~ , What is the test statistic? (If using the z distribution round your answers to two decimal places, and if using the t distribution round your answers to three decimal places.) = What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
The regression line for a set of data will have little meaning unless: Select one: a. the correlation coefficient is significant. b. the slope of the regression line is zero. c. the standard deviation of errors is zero. d. there are at least 30 data points chosen.
Suppose that the recovery time from the infection with a certain virus is normally distributed with a mean of 6.5 days and a standard deviation of 1.5 days. Answer each question. Draw a graph illustrating the recovery time. Make sure to indicate 3 standard deviations from the mean. P(X>7.3)=? P(X <4.7)=? P(5.1<X<7.7)=? John's recovery time is lasting more than 9.2 days. Is it unusual (and should he be concerned yet)? What is the middle 90% recovery time? What is the 80%tile recovery time?
A queueing system has an arrival rate of 37 visitors per day (standard deviation of 32) and a service rate of 42 visitors per day (standard deviation of 25). (Round your answer to three decimal places.) What is the coefficient of variation of the arrival rate?
Andrew plans to retire in 40 years. He plans to invest part of his retirement funds in stocks, so he seeks out information on past returns. He learns that over the entire 20th century, the real (that is, adjusted for inflation) annual returns on U.S. common stocks had mean 8.7% and standard deviation 20.2%. The distribution of annual returns on common stocks is roughly symmetric, so the mean return over even a moderate number of years is close to Normal. What is the probability (assuming that past pattern of variation continues) that the mean annual return on common stocks over the next 40 years will exceed 10%? What is the probability that the mean return will be less than 5%?
Suppose that prices of a gallon of milk at various stores in one town have a mean of $3.74 with a standard deviation of 0.09. Using Chev's theorem what is the minimum percentage of stores that sell a gallon of milk for between $3.56 and $3.92? Round your answer to 1 decimal place

Suppose that Melanie is a researcher who wishes to estimate the mean birthweight of full-term babies in her hospital. What is the minimum number of babies should she sample if she wishes to be at least 90% confident that the mean birthweight of the sample is within 225 grams of the the mean birthweight of all babies? Assume that the distribution of birthweights at her hospital is normal with a standard deviation of 600 g.
