Today, the waves are crashing onto the beach every 5.1 seconds. The times from when a person arrives at the shoreline until a crashing wave is observed follows a Uniform distribution from 0 to 5.1 seconds. Round to 4 decimal places where possible. The probability that a person will be born between weeks 18 and 52 is P(18<x<52)P(18<x<52) = The probability that a person will be born after week 40 is P(x > 40) = P(x > 10 | x < 47) =

What is the probability it will take more than 2 hours on a given job? c. You are on a given job and you already have been working for 1 hour. What is the probability it will at least an additional 2 hours to complete this job?
The route used by a certain motorist in commuting to work contains two intersections with traffic signals. The probability that he must stop at the first signal is 0.45, the analogous probability for the second signal is 0.5, and the probability that he must stop at at least one of the two signals is 0.9. (a) What is the probability that he must stop at both signals? X (b) What is the probability that he must stop at the first signal but not at the second one? X (c) What is the probability that he must stop at exactly one signal?

Suppose you are fitting a survival model and the outcome of interest is time to the diagnosis of cancer (T). A subject entered the study at t=0 and the diagnosis of cancer did not occur by the end of the study period, what kind of event is that? It is an interval-censored observation because an event happened between time of entry and the exit. It is a right-censored observation because no event will be observed during the study period. It is a left-censored observation where the event of interest happened before the study starts. It is a right-censored observation because the event has already occurred.
Benford's Law claims that numbers chosen from very large data files tend to have "1" as the first nonzero digit disproportionately often. In fact, research has shown that if you randomly draw a number from a very large data file, the probability of getting a number with "1" as the leading digit is about 0.301. Suppose you are an auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue report involves millions of numbers in a large computer file. Let us say you took a random sample of n = 250 numerical entries from the file and r = 60 of the entries had a first nonzero digit of 1. Let p represent the population proportion of all numbers in the corporate file that have a first nonzero digit of 1. Test the claim that p is less than 0.301 by using α = 0.01. What does the area of the sampling distribution corresponding to your P-value look like? a. The area in the right tail of the standard normal curve. b. The area not including the right tail of the standard normal curve.…
