Let X be the percentage score on a college entrance exam for students who did not participate in an exam prep seminar. X is modeled by a uniform distribution on [a, 100]. Let Y be the percentage score on a college entrance exam for students who did participate in an exam prep seminar. Y is modeled by a uniform distribution on [1.25a, 100] Given that E[X^2] = 19600/3 calculate the 80th percentile of y.

Albumin is a liver protein that helps circulate vitamins throughout the body. Reduced Albumin has been associated with severe illness with Covid-19 patients. Suppose we wanted to conduct a study to compare the mean Albumin concentration (g/L) between a sample of adult patients hospitalized for Covid 19 (Sample Mean= 32.8, s=6.0) to the mean albumin concentration (g/L) of healthy adults (u=34.1, o=7.13). How many patients would need to enroll from the hospital to conduct this study with 99% confidence, and 80% power? A. 267 B. 120 C. 352 D. 225
Overproduction of uric acid in the body can be an indication of cell breakdown. This may be an advance indication of illness such as gout, leukemia, or lymphoma.† Over a period of months, an adult male patient has taken six blood tests for uric acid. The mean concentration was x = 5.35 mg/dl. The distribution of uric acid in healthy adult males can be assumed to be normal, with σ = 1.83 mg/dl. (a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean concentration of uric acid in this patient's blood. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to two decimal places.) lower limit= upper limit= margin of error= (d) Find the sample size necessary for a 95% confidence level with maximal margin of error E = 1.02 for the mean concentration of uric acid in this patient's blood.
