A random sample of n, 20 winter days in Denver gave a sample mean pollution index x, = 43. Previous studles show that o,- 10. For Englewood (a suburb of Denver), a random sample of n, - 19 winter days gave a sample mean pollution Index of x, = 37. Previous studies show that g, -13. Assume the pollution Index is normally distributed in both Englewood and Denver. Do these data indicate that the mean population pollution index of Englewood is different (either way) from that of Denver in the winter? Use a 1% level of significance.

1. You plan to use a rod to lay out a square, each side of which is the length of the rod. The length of the rod is μ, which is unknown. You are interested in estimating the area of the square, which is μ^2. Because μ is unknown, you measure it n times, obtaining observations X1, X2,..., Xn. Suppose that each measurement is unbiased for μ with variance σ^2. a. Is X^2 a biased or an unbiased estimate of the area of the square? b. Find an unbiased estimate of the area of the square.

Let S1^2 be the sampling variance for a random sample of twelve values (amount of mercury in the blood) and let S2^2 be the sampling variance for a random sample of ten values (amount of lead in the blood); samples from the same population were used. The population variance for mercury measurements is assumed to be twice the corresponding population variance for lead measurements. We will further assume that S1^2 is independent of S2^2. 1. Find a number b such that P [(S1^2/S2^2)<=b]=0.95 enter such a b to three decimal places b= 2. Consider the number b calculated above, find a number a such that P[a<=(S1^2/S2^2)<=b]=0.90 enter said a to three decimal places. a=

2. (20) Are Men and Women Equal Talkers? A headline in USA Today proclaimed that “Men, women are equal talker.” The headline referred to a study of the numbers of words that samples of men and women spoke in a day. Data given below are the results from the study. Assume that thedata are from two independent normal populations. Number of Words Spoken in a DayMen Womenn1 = 121 n2 = 101x1 = 18000 x2 = 17000s1 = 2000 s2 = 2500 Use a 10% level of significance, do a hypothesis test to determine whether or not the population variances are the same. (Hint: This is a two detailed F test. You need the conclusion here to make a choice between a pooled or a non-pooled t test for part (b).) (10) Based on your conclusion in part (a), use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that men and women speak the same mean number of words in a day by using critical value approach, which means you need to do a two detailed t test to test whether or not men and women…
Determine the mean waiting time W for an M/M/2 system when lambda = 2 and μ = 1.2. Compare this with the mean waiting time in an M/M/1 system whose arrival rate is lambda = 1 and service rate is μ = 1.2. Since the arrival rate per server is the same in both cases and service times don’t vary, should the wait times be the same in both cases?
A random sample of n = 19 winter days in Denver gave a sample mean pollution index x1 = 43. Previous studies show that o1 = 10. For Englewood (a suburb of Denver), a random sample of n2 = 18 winter days gave a sample mean pollution index of x2 = 34. Previous studies show that o2 = 13.
