Let x be a random variable that represents the weights in kilograms (kg) of healthy adult female deer (does) in December in a national park. Then x has a distribution that is approximately normal with mean u = 57.0 kg and standard deviation o = 7.9 kg. Suppose a doe that weighs less than 48 kg is considered undernourished. (a) What is the probability that a single doe captured (weighed and released) at random in December is undernourished? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) If the park has about 2350 does, what number do you expect to be undernourished in December? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) does (c) To estimate the health of the December doe population, park rangers use the rule that the average weight of n = 55 does should be more than 54 kg. If the average weight is less than 54 kg, it is thought that the entire population of does might be undernourished. What is the probability that the average welght x for a random sample of 55 does is less than…
Total blood volume (in ml) per body weight (in kg) is important in medical research. For healthy adults, the red blood cell volume mean is about µ = 28 ml/kg. Red blood cell volume that is too low or too high can indicate a medical problem. Suppose that Roger has had seven blood tests, and the red blood cell volume sample mean was 32.7 ml/kg. Let x be a random variable that represents Roger’s red blood cell volume. Assume that x has a normal distribution and  = 4.75. Do the data indicate that Roger’s red blood cell volume is different (either way) from µ = 28 ml/kg? use a 0.01 level of significance.
Suppose that males between the ages of 40 and 49 eat on average 103.8 g of fat every day with a standard deviation of 4.02 g. The amount of fat a person eats is not normally distributed but it is relatively mound shaped. State the random variable. The amount of fat a male between the ages of 40 and 49 eats every day. The mean amount of fat males between the ages of 40 and 49 eats every day. The standard deviation of the amount of fat males between the ages of 40 and 49 eats every day. Find the probability that a sample mean amount of daily fat intake for 32 men age 40-59 is more than 100 g. Round to four decimal places. P(x > 100) = Find the probability that a sample mean amount of daily fat intake for 32 men age 40-59 in the U.S. is less than 94 g. Round to four decimal places. P(x < 94)= If you found a sample mean amount of daily fat intake for 32 men age 40-59 in the U.S. less than 94 g, what would you conclude? O If the sample mean for 32 men age 40-59 were less than 94 g, there is…
The probability of having a red color ball is 15%. The boy selected four submitted balls at random, let X be a random variable indicating the number of red color balls out of those balls selected by the boy. Identify and compute the expected value for the random variable X, i.e. E(X).

The yield in pounds from a day's production is normally distributed with a mean of 1500 pounds and standard deviation of 100 pounds. Assume that the yields on different days are independent random variables. What is the probability that the production yield exceeds 1400 pounds on at least four of the five days next week?
Write the probability density function of a normal random variable and a standard normal random variable.

Let X be a random variable that represents the level of glucose in the blood (milligrams per deciliter of blood). The distribution of X for a healthy person is normally distributed with men u = 85 and standard deviation o = 25. A person suffers from severe excess in insulin would have a lower level of glucose. A blood test with result of X < 40 would be used as an indicator that medication is needed. (a) What is the probability that a healthy person will be suggested with medication after a single test? (b) A doctor uses the average result of 2 tests for diagnosis, that is X. The second test will be conducted one week after the first test, so that the two test results are independent. For many healthy persons, each has finished two tests, find the expectation and standard error of the distribution of X. (c) The doctor suggests medication will be given only when the average level of glucoses in the 2 blood tests is less than 40, that is X < 40, so to reduce the chance of…
