From generation to generation, the mean age when smokers first start to smoke varies. However, the standard deviation of that age remains constant at around 2.1 years. A survey of 38 smokers of this generation was done to see if the mean starting age is at least 19. The sample mean was 18.1 with a sample standard deviation of 1.3. Do the data support the claim at the 5% level? (i) Alpha (Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal.)? =

The lifespans of light bulbs are known to follow an exponential distribution. The exponential distribution, often denoted exp(β), is characterized by a single mean parameter β. The exponential distribution has a unique property that its standard deviation is equal to its mean.

If the iron cutting machine in a factory works continuously for a certain period of time under the same conditions, it goes into malfunction. In this type of failure, the machine takes 24 hours to cool down. After the machine has cooled down, it continues to work the next day. Assume that the running time (minutes) of this machine until it malfunctions has a normal distribution. The working time of the iron cutting machine until the failure was measured for 9 different days, which were chosen at random. Continuous working time (minutes): 14-26-18-29-12-19-22-30-19 a) Establish the 95% confidence interval for the average uninterrupted working time of this iron cutting machine and interpret the result.b) The factory chief claims that the average continuous operating time of the machine is less than 23 minutes. Test the claim that the average continuous working time of this iron cutting machine is less than 23 minutes at the 0.05 significance level and the result isPlease comment.
