Question: It is known that the mean diameters of rivets produced by two firms A and B are practically the same but the standard deviations may differ. For 22 rivets produced by fırm A, the standard deviation is 2.9 mm. while for 16 rivets manufactured by firm B, the standard deviation is 3-8 mm. Compute the statistic you would use to test whether the products of firm A have the same variability as those of firm B and test its significance?

Question 3 Saved 4) Listen A customer service team receives an average of 376 emails every day. Assume that the standard deviation for the number of emails is 96 emails. A random sample of 40 days was selected. a. What is the expected value of the sample mean? b. What is the standard deviation of the sample mean? Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 2.12). c. What is the probability that the average number of emails received was between 360 and 372? Round your answer to two decimal places with a leading zero (e.g. 0.18).

A health expert evaluates the sleeping patterns of adults. Each week she randomly selects 40 adults and calculates their average sleep time. Over many weeks, she finds that 5% of average sleep time is less than 3 hours and 5% of average sleep time is more than 3.4 hours. What are the mean and standard deviation (in hours) of sleep time for the population? (Round "Mean" to 1 decimal places and "standard deviation" to 3 decimal places.) Mean Standard deviation
