management had enough foresight to re-center the manufacturing process to 10 cm and lowered the standard deviation to 0.3 cm. Further suppose that the new tolerances are between 9.5 and 10.5; use P(X<=9.5) = 0.0475 and P(X<=10.5) = 0.9525 to find the percentage of beams that are produced on the new process that meet the new requirements.

The finished inside diameter of a piston ring is normally distributed with a mean of 10 centimeters and a standard deviation of 0.03 centimeter. If in a couple of years, the mean and the standard deviation of the nished inside diameter of a piston ring change both to dierent values μ and σ, what proportion of rings will have inside diameters exceeding μ + 2.5σ?
69. The sample average unrestrained compressive strength for 45 specimens of a particular type of brick was com- puted to be 3107 psi, and the sample standard deviation was 188. The distribution of unrestrained compressive strength may be somewhat skewed. Does the data strong- ly indicate that the true average unrestrained compres- sive strength is less than the design value of 3200? Test using a = .001.
Question two In July 2020, during the vaccine rollout for the Covid-19 emergency, it was estimated that 90% of the population over 50 years old were fully vaccinated, while only 6% were completely unvaccinated. (The remaining 4% had only one dose or had an unknown vaccination status, and therefore will not be considered here.) A Public Health report on cases and hospitalisation from the "delta" variant was published at the end of July 2020. The report showed that, between February and July 2020, among the 418 people admitted to the hospital with the "delta" variant: - 163 were fully vaccinated - 136 were not vaccinated - The remaining people had only one dose or an unknown vaccination status and will not be considered here One may therefore wrongly conclude that a fully vaccinated person is surprisingly more likely to be hospitalised than an unvaccinated person. Using Bayes' theorem to calculate the relevant probabilities from the data above, prove that this claim is wrong. Show that…
A score of X=75 is measured in a population with a mean of μμ=100. A z-score of z=+1.50 is calculated. Without knowing the standard deviation, explain why the z-score of z=+1.50 is incorrect.

The Weather Underground reported that the mean amount of summer rainfall for the northeastern US is at least 11.52 inches. Ten cities in the northeast are randomly selected and the mean rainfall amount is calculated to be 7.42 inches with a standard deviation of 1.3 inches. At the α = 0.05 level, can it be concluded that the mean rainfall was below the reported average? What if α = 0.01? Assume the amount of summer rainfall follows a normal distribution. Please also state if the assumption of normal distribution was essential for solving this question. You will need to specify the appropriate hypothesis, identify the statistical test, estimate p-value (using R command), and state your conclusion in the context of the problem. For the conclusion, please use the following template. If you reject the null writeSince p-value is [write the value of your p-value] and is less than [write the value of alpha inpercent] we reject the null hypothesis at [write the value of alpha]% significance…

5. Suppose the number of days it takes you to get a flu shot after it is available follows this equation: Y₂ = 30 - 2X₁ where y, is the number of days until you get the flu shot, and X, is the number of people you know who have the flu. Further, suppose on average you know 2.3 people who have the flu, with standard deviation 5. Suppose that the population has size m = 10. (a) Find the average time until you get the flu shot after it is available. (b) Find the standard deviation of time until you get the flu shot after it is available. (c) What is EY;?
The Precision Scientific Instrument Company manufactures thermometers that are supposed to give readings of 0°C at the freezing point of water. Tests on a large sample of these thermometers reveal that at the freezing point of water, some give readings below 0°C (denoted by negative numbers) and some give readings above 0°C (denoted by positive numbers). Assume that the mean reading is 0°C and the standard deviation of the readings is 1.00°C Also assume that the frequency distribution of errors closely resembles the normal distribution. A thermometer is randomly selected and tested. Find the temperature reading corresponding to the given information. Note: For parts A and B, enter only a number, positive or negative, rounded to two decimal places as needed. Do not enter the degree symbol nor the celsius symbol C. Do not enter any spaces. O (Part A) 9.1% of the thermometers are rejected because they have readings that are too low. Which reading separates these rejected thermometers from…

A certain variable has a bell-shaped distribution with mean μ=176.16μ=176.16 and standard deviation σ=4.9σ=4.9. You observe a value of x=184x=184. Is this a TYPICAL value of the variable (within 2 standard deviations of the mean), or an UNUSUAL one (more than 2 standard deviations from the mean)?
