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. Round your answer to four

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.
A random sample of 51 adult coyotes in a region of northern Minnesota showed the average age to be x = 2.01 years, with sample standard deviation s = 0.76 years. However, it is thought that the overall population mean age of coyotes is u = 1.75. Do the sample data indicate that coyotes in this region of northern Minnesota tend to live longer than the average of 1.75 years? Use a = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance?

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. If 6.3% of the thermometers are rejected because they have readings that are too high and another 6.3% are rejected because they have readings that are too low, find the two readings that are cutoff values separating the rejected thermometers from the others.
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;?

Suppose X is a non-standard normal variable, with a mean of 190, and std deviation of 7 (i.e. X~N(190,7)). You have an observation (z) on a standard normal scale (i.e. Z~N(0,1)). If z = -1.15, what is it on an X scale? Express your answer to two decimal places (ex: 123.45).
Suppose that the heart beat per minute (bpm) of adult males has a normal distribution with a mean of mu equals 73.4μ=73.4 bpm and a standard deviation of sigma equals 11.6σ=11.6 bpm. Instead of using 0.05 for identifying significant values, use the criteria that a value x is significantly high if P(x or greater)less than or equals≤0.01 and a value is significantly low if P(x or less)less than or equals≤0.01. Find the pulse rates for males that separate significant pulse rates from those that are not significant. Using these criteria, is a male pulse rate of 90 beats per minute significantly high?
Suppose x has a distribution with a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 45. Random samples of size n = 36 are drawn. Find P(x < 87.5) Please show the steps to finding the answer and use a ti-83+ calculator since this is what I am working with.
