The variable xx denotes the time taken in seconds for a computer link to be made between the terminal in an executive's office and the computer at a remote factory site. xx is known to have a Normal distribution, with a mean of 15 seconds and a standard deviation of 3 seconds. Calculate P(x > 16)P(x>16), i.e., the probability that it takes longer that 16 seconds for the link to be made. (Give a proportion to 4 decimal places.)
A person's blood glucose level and diabetes are closely related. Let x be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter (1/10 of a liter) of blood. Suppose that after a 12-hour fast, the random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with mean μ = 84 and standard deviation σ = 28. Note: After 50 years of age, both the mean and standard deviation tend to increase. For an adult (under 50) after a 12-hour fast, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) x is more than 60 (b) x is less than 110 (c) x is between 60 and 110 (d) x is greater than 125 (borderline diabetes starts at 125)

Suppose the longevity of iPad batteries, X, can be modeled by a normal distribution with mean μ = 8.2 hours and standard deviation σ = 1.2 hours, i.e. X ∼ N (μ = 8.2, σ = 1.2). (a) Find the probability a randomly selected iPad lasts less than 10 hours. (b) Suppose 16 iPads are randomly selected. Find the probability that the mean longevity, X ̄, is less than 7.9 hours. (c) Find the 25th percentile of the individual battery times, X. (d) Suppose 16 iPads are randomly selected. Find the 25th percentile of the sample mean X ̄. (e) Suppose 16 iPads are randomly selected. Let Y equal the number with longevity more than 10 hours. What is the distribution of Y ? (f) In reference to question 6.5(e), determine the probability that exactly 2 of the iPads last longer than 10 hours.
Assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of μ=100and a standard deviation σ=20. Find the probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ less than 128.
Let x be a random variable that represents the pH of arterial plasma (i.e., acidity of the blood). For healthy adults, the mean of the x distribution is μ = 7.4.† A new drug for arthritis has been developed. However, it is thought that this drug may change blood pH. A random sample of 36 patients with arthritis took the drug for 3 months. Blood tests showed that x = 8.6 with sample standard deviation s = 3.1. Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the drug has changed (either way) the mean pH level of the blood. (a) What is the level of significance?State the null and alternate hypotheses. H0: μ = 7.4; H1: μ > 7.4H0: μ ≠ 7.4; H1: μ = 7.4 H0: μ > 7.4; H1: μ = 7.4H0: μ = 7.4; H1: μ ≠ 7.4H0: μ = 7.4; H1: μ < 7.4 (b) What sampling distribution will you use? Explain the rationale for your choice of sampling distribution. The standard normal, since the sample size is large and σ is known.The Student's t, since the sample size is large and σ is unknown.

You know that buffaloes have adult weights that are distributed by B = N(2000,200) where the given mean and standard deviation is in Ibs. You inherit a baby buffalo. Find the probability that your buffalo grows up to be at least 1990 pounds. Find the probability that your buffalo will eventually weigh between 1950 and 2100 lbs. How much would your buffalo have to weigh in order to outweigh 98% of all grown buffalo.
Rosie is an aging sheepdog in Montana who gets regular checkups from her owner, the local veterinarian. Let x be a random variable that represents Rosie’s resting heart rate (in beats per minute). From past experience, the vet knows that x has a normal distribution with σ= 12. The vet checked the manual and found that for dogs of this breed, μ= 115beats per minute. Over the past six weeks(n=6), Rosie’s sample mean hear rate was x̄=105.0. The vet is concerned that Rosie’s heart rate is slowing and is less than 115.0. Does the data indicate that this is the case? Use a level of significance α= .05 to conduct a hypothesis test. You must include the following: i) null hypothesis ii) alternate hypothesis iii) test statistic (z or t value –remember the information in the problem will help determine if you use a z or t) iv) P-Value compared to the level of significance(α). v) Conclusion (Do you reject or fail to reject the vet’s claim?)

Assume the random variable X is normally distributed with mean μ=50 and standard deviation σ=7. Find the 87th percentile.
The antibody production of 12 male red-winged blackbirds before and after receiving testosterone implants was compared. The units for antibody levels were natural log (10-3 optical density) per minute (In(mOD/min)). The mean change in antibody production was d = 0.056, and the standard deviation was sd = 0.225 If you were assigned the task of repeating this experiment, and wanted to ensure that you could detect a mean change of 0.02 units with a probability of 0.8, then what sample size would you use? Since we are calculating n for a study of individuals, answers should be rounded up to the next whole number.
