Suppose we consider a one-dimensional chain of links, where each link (with volume dV) has a probability to fail of 0.1%. What is the probability of failure for a chain with 1000 links (i.e. volume 1000dV)?

Rivers in North Carolina contain small concentrations of mercury that can accumulate in fish over their lifetimes. The concentration of mercury in fish tissue can be obtained by catching fish and sending samples to a lab for analysis. A study was conducted on fish from the Waccamaw and Lumber Rivers to investigate mercury levels in tissues of largemouth bass. At several stations along each river a group of fish were caught, weighed and measured; in addition a filet from each fish was sent to a lab so that the tissue concentration of mercury could be determined. In all, 171 fish were caught at 15 different research stations along the Waccamaw and Lumber Rivers. Data from fish caught at one of these stations is shown in the followinng table: length weight 1616 47.0 48.7 1862 2855 55.7 45.2 1199 1320 44.7 1225 43.8 870 38.5 1455 45.8 1220 44.0 1033 40.4 Compute the correlation between length and weight for these fish. (Assume the correlation conditions have been satisfied and round your…
To compare the effectiveness of competing fertilizers on increasing radish size, researchers randomly divided 20 radish seeds of the same type into two groups of 10 and planted them. To one of the groups, they applied Fertilizer A, and to the other, they applied Fertilizer B. Then the researchers measured the radii of the radishes grown from the seeds in the two groups. The mean radius of the Fertilizer A group was 0.52 inches smaller than the mean radius of the Fertilizer B group. The researchers wanted to determine if this difference was due to the type of fertilizer or simply due to more seeds that produced smaller radishes being randomly assigned to the Fertilizer A group. To test if a difference of the means (A - B) of -0.52 inches or less could be due to chance, the researchers used a computer simulation to shuffle and randomly reassign the radishes to the two fertilizer groups. The difference between the two group means was then calculated and plotted on a dot plot. They…
4) Blood calcium levels are measured in mg/dL. In patients over 30, μ = 9.75 mg/dL, and σ = 2.25 mg/dL. Again, use R. a) Give the blood calcium values for the middle 30% of patients. b) Give the blood calcium values for the middle 75% of patients. c) Give the 87.5th percentile.
Two geysers that are near to each other are labelled as Geyser A and Geyser B. The time between eruptions for a given geyser follows an exponential distribution. The eruption times of the two geysers are independent of one another. The mean amount of time between eruptions of Geyser A is 39 minutes, and the mean amount of time between eruptions of Geyser B is 66 minutes. Given that exactly one of the geysers erupts within the next 49 minutes, determine the probability that it will be Geyser A. O 0.6654 0.7850 O 0.7252 O 0.6953 O 0.7551
Please review Section 11.1. Are you an impulse shopper? A survey of 800 grocery shoppers indicated that 36% of males and 42% of females make an impulse purchase every time they shop. Assume that the survey consisted of 400 males and 400 females. Let group 1 be the males and let group 2 be the females. a = 0.01 H, :T, = R, H :, # R, Calculate the test statistic: (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

An agent for a residential real estate company in a suburb located outside a major city has the business objective of developing more accurate estimates of the monthly rental cost for apartments. Toward the goal, the agent would like to use the size of an apartment, as defined by square footage to predict the monthly rental cost. The agent selects a sample of 8 one-bedroom apartments and the data are shown. Size (Square Feet) Monthly Rent ($) 875 1550 850 1350 950…
