Q1 2.76 In an experiment to study the relationship of hy- pertension and smoking habits, the following data are collected for 180 individuals: Moderate Nonsmokers 21 Smokers 36 26 Heavy Smokers 30 NH 48 19 where H and NH in the table stand for Hypertension and Nonhypertension, respectively. If one of these indi- viduals is selected at random, find the probability that the person is (a) experiencing hypertension, given that the person is a heavy smoker; (b) a nonsmoker, given that the person is experiencing no hypertension.

Magnetic surveying is one technique used by archaeologists to determine anomalies arising from variations in magnetic susceptibility. Unusual changes in magnetic susceptibility might (or might not) indicate an important archaeological discovery. Let x be a random variable that represents a magnetic susceptibility (MS) reading for a randomly chosen site at an archaeological research location. A random sample of 120 sites gave the readings shown in the table below. Magnetic Susceptibility Readings,centimeter-gram-second ✕ 10−6 (cmg ✕ 10−6) Comment MagneticSusceptibility Number ofReadings EstimatedProbability "cool" 0 ≤ x < 10 24 24/120 = 0.20 "neutral" 10 ≤ x < 20 60 60/120 = 0.50 "warm" 20 ≤ x < 30 24 24/120 = 0.20 "very interesting" 30 ≤ x < 40 6 6/120 = 0.05 "hot spot" 40 ≤ x 6 6/120 = 0.05 Suppose a 'hot spot' is a site with a reading of 40 or higher. A. In a binomial setting, let us call success a 'hot spot'. Use the table to find p=…
Coal is carried from a mine in West Virginia to a power plant in New York in hopper cars on a long train. The automatic hopper car loader is set to put 87 tons of coal into each car. The actual weights of coal loaded into each car are normally distributed, with mean u = 87 tons and standard deviation o = 1.1 ton. (a) What is the probability that one car chosen at random will have less than 86.5 tons of coal? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) What is the probability that 20 cars chosen at random will have a mean load weight x of less than 86.5 tons of coal? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) Suppose the weight of coal in one car was less than 86.5 tons. Would that fact make you suspect that the loader had slipped out of adjustment? O Yes O No Suppose the weight of coal in 20 cars selected at random had an average x of less than 86.5 tons. Would that fact make you suspect that the loader had slipped out of adjustment? Why? Yes, the probability that this…
Let a be a random variable representing the percentage of protein content for early bloom alfalfa hay. The average percentage protein content of such early bloom alfalfa should be u = 17.2%. A farmer's co-op is thinking of buying a large amount of baled hay but suspects that the hay is from a later summer cutting with lower protein content. A small amount of hay was removed from each bale of a random sample of 50 bales. The average protein content from the samples was determined by a local agricultural college to be -15.8% with a sample standard deviation of S = 5.3%- At a = .05, does this hay have lower average protein content than the early bloom alfalfa?
Samples of three kinds of materials, subjected to extreme temperature changes, produced the results shown in the following table: Material A | Material B Material C| Total Damaged 42 25 23 90 Not damaged 80 52 78 210 Total 122 77 101 300 Use the 0.05 level of significance to test whether the probability of getting damaged is the same for the three kinds of materials. Use 3 decimal places in your computations of the x² test statistic.

Based on a poll, 65% of Internet users are more careful about personal information when using a public Wi-Fi hotspot. What is the probability that among four randomly selected Internet users, at least one is more careful about personal information when using a public Wi-Fi hotspot? How is the result affected by the additional information that the survey subjects volunteered to respond? The probability that at least one of them is careful about personal information is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) How is the result affected by the additional information that the survey subjects volunteered to respond? A. It is very possible that the result is not valid because not everyone uses public Wi-Fi. B. The result should not be impacted by this because there is no reason to lie when responding. C. The result should not be impacted by this because volunteers are likely to have the most relevant responses. D. It is very possible…

fter a serious crime was committed in a small town: The police are going to take the fingerprints of all 750 people in the town, to see if anyone will match a partial fingerprint that was left at the crime scene. If the police fingerprint testing method identifies an innocent person as a criminal, this is called a "false-positive" result. The probability of getting a false-positive result from the police fingerprint matching method, when used upon one individual person, is only 0.2%. Given this information: What is the approximate percentage probability that out of all 750 people that will be tested, there will be at least one false-positive result? Round to four digits past the decimal point, and include a percentage symbol in your answer (with no spaces).
