Question 4: Exponential random variables (sometimes) give good models for the time to failure ofmechanical devices. For example, we might measure the number of miles traveled by a given car beforeits transmission ceases to function. Suppose that this distribution is governed by the exponentialdistribution with mean 100,000. What is the probability that a car's transmission will fail during its first50,000 miles of operation?

Question 7 According to the Almanac of Questionable Statistics, Vol 4 (2012), the probability of a mass squirrel uprising in any given year is 0.11 and the probability that cats and dogs will sign a peace treaty allowing them to live together peacefully in any given year is 0.34. If we presume that these two events are independent, what is the probability of both happening next year? Answer in decimal form. Round to 4 decimal places as needed.

Question 1 A pediatric nurse is researching weight gain in premature babies. Previous research has indicated that premature babies gain a mean of 150 grams per month (assume σ = 22.3) . The nurse is researching a new program that has the goal of increasing the mean weight gain in a month. The nurse takes a random sample of 40 premature babies to participate in the program over the next month with a resulting sample mean weight gain of 160 grams per month.
