Suppose the force acting on a column that helps to support a building is a normally distributed random variable X with mean value 17.0 kips and standard deviation 1.50 kips. Compute the following probabilities by standardizing and then using a standard normal curve table from the Appendix Tables or SALT. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) P(X ≤ 17) (b) P(X ≤ 18.5) (c) P(X ≥ 9.5) USE SALT (d) P(15 ≤ x ≤ 20) (e) P(|X17| ≤ 1)
Porphyrin is a pigment in blood protoplasm and other body fluids that is significant in body energy and storage. Let x be a random variable that represents the number of milligrams of porphyrin per deciliter of blood. In healthy circles, x is approximately normally distributed with mean μμ = 41 and standard deviation σσ = 16. Find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)a.) x is less than 60 b.) x is greater than 16 c.) x is between 16 and 60 d.) x is more than 60 (This may indicate an infection, anemia, or another type of illness.)
The third worksheet labeled sample B is a simple random sample with replacement, with seven observations in the sample, from some population. The index i in the first column is just an integer name for each observation. The specific values x in the second column are measures of a random variable X distributed in the population. Now suppose this random variable X is known to have a Normal distribution in the sampled population. You still do not know the population mean and must estimate it from the sample, as you did earlier. BUT NOW, in this question, you know in advance that the true population standard deviation of the random variable X is 4. Compute the standard error (of the sample mean), given this new knowledge situation. i xi 1 74.2 2 72.79 3 70.35 4 74.37 5 73.34 6 78.96 7 77.99
The level of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and nonmethane organic gas (NMOG) in the exhaust over the useful life (150,000150,000 miles of driving) of cars of a particular model varies Normally with mean 8080 mg/mi and standard deviation 66 mg/mi. A company has 1616 cars of this model in its fleet. Using Table A, find the level ?L such that the probability that the average NOX + NMOG level ?¯x¯ for the fleet greater than ?L is only 0.030.03 ? (Enter your answer rounded to three decimal places. If you are using CrunchIt, adjust the default precision under Preferences as necessary.

Use the data in the Excel workbook, on the worksheet labeled "Sample," for this question. The first column is just an observation index labeled i to name each observation. The observations are a simple random sample with replacement from a much larger population. The second column contains specific values y of a random variable Y found in some sampled population. The population standard deviation is not known to you, but it is known that Y has a Normal distribution in the sampled population. Compute the lower bound of an 85% confidence interval for the population mean of the random variable Y. i y 1 37 2 40 3 31 4 27 5 23 6 33 7 29 8 26 9 39 10 28 11 34 12 39 13 31 14 34 15 39 16 33 17 31 18 42
A snack company makes packages of grapes and honeydew slices. The weight of an individual package of grapes, G, is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 3.25 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.91 ounces. The weight of an individual package of honeydew slices, H, is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 4.51 ounces and a standard deviation of 2.02 ounces. Assume G and H are independent random variables. Let D = G – H. What is the probability that a randomly selected package of grapes weighs more than a randomly selected package of honeydew slices? 0.127 0.230 0.284 0.334
A random sample of size 10 yielded roughly "mound-shaped" data with a sample mean of 63.5 and a sample variance of 60.8. Let (L, OU) be the interval estimate that contains the population mean with 95% probability. Find the width of the interval. That is, find 0 – 0₁. 4.52 5.49 5.58 5.70 9.04 10.99 11.16 11.40 none of the other answers give the correct width
