Question 5: Answer only one branch. A: The mean of the waiting time in an emergency room is 80.2 minutes with a standard deviation of 10.5 minutes for people who are admitted for additional treatment. The mean waiting time for patients who are discharged after receiving treatment is 120.6 minutes with a standard deviation of 18.3 minutes. Which times are more variable?

For Problem 19.6 (assuming normal distribution), determine the probability that it will take a person between 5 to 8 minutes to assemble the phone.
The municipality that controls that arterial road reduced the posted speed limit, hoping to reduce the average speed of the road to 60 km/h. After introducing the new speed limit, the municipality collected a new speed sample (sample size = 220) to calculate the operating speed. The average speed and the standard deviation of the new sample were found to be 61.09 km/h and 8.95 km/h, respectively. Based on this information, answer the following question a) Is the speed reduction (if there is any) statistically significant? b) Was the target speed achieved by introducing the new speed limit?
A sample of 100 adult women was taken, and each was asked how many children she had. The results were as follows: Children 0 1 2 3 4 5 Number of Women 25 20 28 15 8 4 What is the sample mean and standard deviation in that order? Select one: a. 1.74 and1.41 b. 1.73 and1.40 c. 1.73 and1.41 d. 1.41 and1.73 e. 1.40 and 1.73
Children are one of the major concerns of environmental exposure. What is the CDI for a 10 month old child exposed to drinking water contaminated with 10 mg/L nitrate (as N). Assume a 1 year exposure time and a 1 year averaging time.

A sample of 100 over-all travel speed was observed on a four-lane, undivided Arterial Street. The sample mean was 35.45 mph, and the standard deviation of the sample was 5.20 mph. Assume that the sample of travel speeds was taken from a normal population. a) Find the percentage of vehicles in the population traveling between 33 and 44 mph. b) Between what limits may the mean of the population be expected to fall for a 95 percent level of confidence?

QUESTION 3 Night-time conditions prevail on a highway. A vehicle is driving at a speed of 87 mph when it notices an object located 1000 ft away. The vehicle Immediately hits the brake. Assuming a perception reaction time of 3.4 seconds (larger due to night time), calculate the distance moved by the vehicle between seeing the object and hitting the brakes. Report your answer correct to two decimal places in "feet" units. QUESTION 4 A driver with 20/15 vision can read a given sign at a distance of 24 ft from the sign. Calculate the maximum distance at which driver with 20/20 visual acuity will be able to see the same sign? (Report your answer to one digit after the decimal)
