In analyzing patient admissions at a hospital, it is found that 31,906 patients were admitted in a recent year. Let the random variable x represent the number of patient admissions in one day, and assume that it has a Poisson distribution. What is the standard deviation for the values of the random variable x? What is the variance?

A binomial experiment is given. Decide whether you can use the normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution. If you can, find the mean and standard deviation. If you cannot, explain why. A survey of adults found that 65% have used a multivitamin in the past 12 months. You randomly select 50 adults and ask them if they have used a multivitamin in the past 12 months.
High school students across the nation compete in a financial capability challenge each year by taking a National Financial Capability Challenge Exam. Students who score in the top 13 percent are recognized publicly for their achievement by the Department of the Treasury. Assuming a normal distribution, how many standard deviations above the mean does a student have to score to be publicly recognized? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Españiol A scientist has read that the mean birth weight of babies born at full term is 7.4 pounds. The scientist has good reason to believe that the mean birth weight of babies born at full term, µ, is different from this value and plans to perform a statistical test. She selects a random sample of birth weights of babies born at full term and finds the mean of the sample to be 7.8 pounds and the standard deviation to be 1.8 pounds. Based on this information, complete the parts below. (a) What are the null hypothesis H. and the alternative hypothesis H, that should be used for the test? Ho :0 O

A binomial experiment is given. Decide whether you can use the normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution. If you can, find the mean and standard deviation. If you cannot, explain why. A survey of adults found that 44% have used a multivitamin in the past 12 months. You randomly select 50 adults and ask them if they have used a multivitamin in the past 12 months.
Calculate the value of a normal random variable representing the bottom 20% of an approximately normal distribution with a mean of 74 and a standard deviation of 7. (Use a table or technology. Round your answer to one decimal place.)
