The amount of time in minutes that it takes for a randomly selected customer to finish checking out their groceries is a continuous uniform random variable (that is to say it follows a uniform distribution) on the interval 0 to 5 minutes. That is to say that f(x)=1/5=0.2 for x in (0,5) and 0 otherwise.

You really struggle remembering to bring your lunch to work. Each day seems to be independent as to whether you remember to bring your lunch or not. The chance that you forget your lunch each day is 34.6%. Consider the next 44 days. Let X be the number of days that you forget your lunch out of the 44 days. Calculate the following: (a) ux: (b) What would be the first number of days, larger than the mean, that would be considered unusual (an "outlier")? (Enter a whole number.) (c) Find the probability of forgetting your lunch at least as many times as your answer to part (b).
In the past, the mean age of students at a summer camp was 16.9 years old. A recent sample of 16 students from the camp found x = 13.4, s = 2.3. a. Build a 80% CI for the current mean age of students at the camp. Round all intermediate calculations to two decimals, then construct the Cl and enter like this: (min,max). Note: if you use a built-in Cl command on a calculator/computer, you might get marked wrong due to rounding. Use the formulas given in the text/notes. b. Use your CI to decide whether the mean age of students at the camp has changed from 16.9 years old. O Yes, the mean has probably changed since the old value of u is not right in the middle of the new CI No, the mean has not changed since the old value of u is right in the middle of the new O No, the mean has probably not changed since the new Cl contains the old value of u O Yes, the mean has probably changed since the new CI does not contain the old value of u c. For this problem, it is important that we know that ages…
The lifetime of a light bulb is normally distributed with an average life of 500 hours and a standard deviation of 100 hours. If a company installs 5000 of these light bulbs, find the number of bulbs that can be expected to last between 500 hours and 675 hours.
One-third of all patients who undergo a non invasive but unpleasant medical test require a sedative. A laboratory performs 20 such tests daily. Let X denote the number of patients on any given day who require a sedative. What is the average number of patient each day who require a sedative? Give your answer precise to two decimal places, e.g., 10.24, 10.00, 10.84.
Three-circle, red-on-white is one distinctive pattern painted on ceramic vessels of the Anasazi period found at an archaeological site. At one excavation, a sample of 177 potsherds indicated that 72 were of the three-circle, red-on-white pattern. Find a point estimate p̂ for the proportion of all ceramic potsherds at this site that are of the three-circle, red-on-white pattern. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)(b) Compute a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion p of all ceramic potsherds with this distinctive pattern found at the site.

In an environmental study into the wildlife in two comparable lakes, samples of small frogs were taken from each. The frogs were of the same species and all of similar ages, each being weighed. Their weights (in g) are given below: Weight Lake 1 13.7 13.3 13.8 13.1 15.3 13.5 16.3 13.9 15.3 13.3 Lake 2 12.2 13.7 13.6 14.7 11.5 12.7 13.4 14.3
A publisher reports that 74% of their readers own a particular make of car. A marketing executive wants to test the claim that the actual percentage is actually less than the reported percentage. A random sample of 310 found that 70% of readers owned a particular make of car. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level to support the executive's claim? Round p-value to four decimal places. p-value = Conclusion (write R for "reject H0", and F for "fail to reject H0"):
