Joe is a student who is conducting experiments with a series of lightbulbs. He started with 10 identical lightbulbs, each with an exponentially distributed lifetime with a mean of 200 hours. Joe wants to know how long it will take until the last bulb burns out (or fails). At noontime, Joe stepped out to get some lunch with 6 bulbs still on. Assume that Joe came back and found that none of the 6 bulbs has failed. (a) After Joe came back, what is the expected time until the first bulb failure? (b) What is the expected length of time between the fourth bulb failure and the fifth bulb failure?

A neuroscientist wants to know if physical exercise changes reaction speed in elderly people. A total of 14 older volunteer participants were found. One sample of n = 7 subjects received an exercise treatment, while the second sample (n = 7) of participants were given stretching lessons for the same amount of time per week. Reaction speed was tested on a computer program after six weeks of treatment. Reaction speed was measured in milliseconds. Data shown below. What is the type of statistical test you could use on these data? _____________________ Why this test? ___________________________________________________________ What is the I.V.? ___________________ What is the D.V.? ______________________ Use the data below to fill in the blanks to compute your tcalculated. stretch group exercise group nstretch = ____ dfstretch = _____ nexercise…
A sleep researcher is interested in learning about how to help people fall asleep faster at night without taking medicine. She asks n = 13 individuals to wear a device to bed for two weeks straight. Half of the participants were asked to spray their pillows with a lavender mist for the first week then sleep with a regular "unscented" pillow for the second week. The other half of the participants were asked to do the same thing, but in the opposite order: unscented pillow then lavender misted pillow. Testing at an alpha level of a = .01, she expects the lavender scented pillow to decrease the amount of time it takes people to fall asleep.

A gardener applied chemical "Z" to plants in a flower bed. (S)he observed that the plants grew dramatically during the next two weeks. Using only the information from the previous two sentences, write a hypothesis about the effect of chemical "Z" on plants. (Note: Your hypothesis must be a testable statement.) A researcher conducted a series of experiments to test the effect of chemical “Z” on plants. The data from the experiments is summarized in the graph below. (Image of the Graph attached.) Interpret the graph above. What did the researcher learn about the effect of chemical “Z?” Based on the researcher’s graph, what can you conclude about the hypothesis you wrote for Question 7 above?
Assume that the component failure rate is A1=0.001 per hour and the voter failure rate is A-0.01 per day. Does your run work with a failure probability of less than 0.03? (Suppose the occurrence of breakdowns is independent of each other and the breakdowns follow the law of exponential breakdown.).

Alice has two identical personal computers, which she never uses at the same time. She uses one PC at a time and the other is a backup. If the one she is currently using fails, she turns it off, calls the PC repairman and turns on the backup PC. The time until either PC fails when it is in use is exponentially distributed with a mean of 50 hours. The time between the moment a PC fails until the repairman comes and finishes repairing it is also exponentially distributed with a mean of 3 hours. What is the probability that Alice is idle because neither PC is operational?
Otitis media is a disease that occurs frequently in the firstfew years of life and is one of the most common reasonsfor physician visits after the routine checkup. A study wasconducted to assess the frequency of otitis media in thegeneral population in the first year of life. Table 4.15 givesthe number of infants of 2500 infants who were first seen atbirth who remained disease-free by the end of the ith monthof life, i = 0, 1, . . . , 12. (Assume no infants have been lostto follow-up.)

What proportionof five-sibling families is otitis prone if we assume thedisease occurs independently for different siblings in afamily?

The life of an electronic controller is distributed lognormally, with the parameters ?′ = 20 and ?′ = 10. Evaluate the probability that a controller will survive up 50 hours and 200 hours.
Among a clinic's patients having high blood cholesterol levels of at least 240 milliliters per deciliter of blood serum, the previous drug they are on has no changes in their blood cholesterol levels. Volunteers were asked to test a new drug designed to reduce blood cholesterol. A group of 40 volunteers were given the drug for 60 days, and the changes in their blood cholesterol levels were noted. If the average change was a decrease of 6.8 with a sample standard deviation of 12.1, what conclusions can we draw? Use the 5 percent level of significance.
