Scores obtained by students in three sections of the Medical College AdmissionTest (MCAT) are independently normally distributed with means 10, 12, and 10and standard deviations 2.6, 1.2, and 1.3, respectively. Determine the probabilitydistribution of the total scores obtained by these students. NOTE: Please explain each part, so the problem can be used as a Study Guide

Without further clarifying, a news report provided a binomial confidence interval to describe the probability of an event as between 0.591 and 0.749 based on an experiment with 25 trials. What was the margin of error in their interval? What was the success rate within the sample? What confidence level did they use?
From independent surveys of two populations, 90% confidence intervals are constructed. What is the probability that neither interval contains the respective population mean? What is the probability that both do?
A man who moves to a new city sees that there are two routes he could take to work. A neighbor who has lived there a long time tells him Route A will average 5 minutes faster than Route B. The man decides to experiment. Each day he flips a coin to determine which way to go, driving each route 20 days. He finds that Route A takes an average of 45 minutes, with standard deviation 3 minutes, and Route B takes an average of 49 minutes, with standard deviation 5 minutes. Histograms of travel times for the routes are roughly symmetric and show no outliers. Complete parts a and b. (...) a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the Route B and Route A commuting times, (µÂ ¯ µÃ) - The confidence interval is (.). (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
For a hypothesis test of a single population mean with unknown population standard deviation (σσ), we can use either Geogebra or Minitab. In Geogebra: use the “Statistics” tab in the Probability Calculator. Click the drop-down menu near the top (default is “Z Test of a Mean”) and choose “T Test of a Mean.” In Minitab: Select Stat > Basic Statistics > 1 sample t. Select Summarized Data from the drop-down menu. Check mark “Perform Hypothesis Test” and enter the hypothesized value. Click Options and select the appropriate alternate hypothesis. For both: Enter the sample mean, sample standard deviation, and sample size. We’ll use a sample with x¯=73.2, s=14.16, n=16. For a hypothesis test of H0:μ=70 versus HA:μ >70 The given sample has a test statistic of The P-value for the test is For a hypothesis test of H0:μ=75 versus HA:μ<75H0:μ=75 versus HA:μ<75: The given sample has a test statistic of The P-value for the test is For a hypothesis test of H0:μ=75 versus…
A researcher selects a sample from a population with a mean of 50 and administers a treatment to the individuals in the sample. If the treatment is expected to decrease scores, what is the correct statement for the alternative hypothesis for a one tailed test
The reference group is middle gait speed. The authors give the CI for the odds ratio for fast gait speed as (0.12, 165.56). Although this interval contains 1, the authors conclude that "persons with fast gait speed also appeared to have an elevated risk of serious injury." Why do you think the authors came to this conclusion?

The Jamestown Steel Company manufactures and assembles desks and other office equipment at several plants. The weekly production of the Model A325 desk follows a normal probability distribution, with a mean of 200 and a standard deviation of 16. Recently, due to market expansion, new production methods have been introduced and new employees hired. The vice president of manufacturing would like to investigate whether there has been a change in the weekly production of the Model A325 desk. To put it another way, is the mean number of desks produced different from 200 at the 0.01 significance level? If the VP took a sample of new production, where he took the data for 50 weeks and found the average production to be 203.5 desks, what would you conclude?
A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of ibuprofen tablets and uses this acceptance sampling plan: randomly select and test 22 tablets, then accept the whole batch if there is at most one that doesn't meet the required specifications. If a particular shipment of thousands of ibuprofen tablets actually has a 6% rate of defects, what is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted?Binomial Calculator(Report answer as a decimal value accurate to four decimal places.)P(accept shipment) =
