NBC News reported on May 2, 2013, that 1 in 20 children in the United States have a food allergy of some sort. Consider selecting a random sample of 25 children and let X be the number in the sample who have a food allergy. Then X ~ Bin(25, 0.05). a. Determine both P(X <= 3) and P(X < 3). b. Determine P(X >= 4). c. Determine P(1 <= X <= 3).

A school district has a standardized test that it uses to determine placement into special classes. The superintendent is looking to determine whether male and female students have different scores on the test. The scores for a random sample of 25 male students and 25 female students are recorded. Assume that the scores are normally distributed for both male and female students. Let the male students be the first sample, and let the female students be the second sample. Is there enough evidence, at a = 0.01 to show a difference between male and female scores? Identify the degree of freedom and the critical value(s) to be used for this hypothesis test. Do not round; use the exact value from the t-table. Degree of freedom = Provide your answer below: Critical Value(s) = Males Females x1 = 168x2 = 171 $1 = 14 $2 = 17 n1 = 25 n2 = 25 Probability Degrees of Freedom 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 0.10 0.05 0.025 0.01 0.005 1.319 1.714 2.069 2.500 2.807 1.318 1.711 2.064 2.492 2.797 1.316 1.708 2.060…
Executives of a supermarket chain are interested in the amount of time that customers spend in the stores during shopping trips. The mean shopping time, μ , spent by customers at the supermarkets has been reported to be 36 minutes, but executives hire a statistical consultant and ask her to determine whether it can be concluded that μ is greater than 36 minutes. The consultant plans to do a statistical test and collects a random sample of 50 shopping times at the supermarkets. Suppose that the population of shopping times at the supermarkets has a standard deviation of 16 minutes and that the consultant performs her hypothesis test using the 0.05 level of significance.
