The common fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, is the most st ied organism in genetic research because it is small, easy to grc and reproduces rapidly. The length of the thorax (where the win and legs attach) in a population of male fruit flies is approximat Normal with mean 0.800 millimeters (mm) and standard deviat 0.078 mm. Exercises 11.20 to 11.22 use this information. 11.20 Choose a male fruit fly at random. The probability th the fly you choose has a thorax longer than 1 mm is about (a) 0.995. (b) 0.5. (c) 0.005.

Weatherwise is a magazine published by the American Meteorological Society. One issue gives a rating system used to classify Nor'easter storms that frequently hit New England and can cause much damage near the ocean. A severe storm has an average peak wave height of ? = 16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore. Suppose that a Nor'easter is in progress at the severe storm class rating. Peak wave heights are usually measured from land (using binoculars) off fixed cement piers. Suppose that a reading of 38 waves showed an average wave height of x = 16.7 feet. Previous studies of severe storms indicate that ? = 3.5 feet. Does this information suggest that the storm is (perhaps temporarily) increasing above the severe rating? Use ? = 0.01. a) What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Tall Dutch Men: Part A Use a z-table such as https://www.math.arizona.edu/~rsims/ma464/standardnormaltable.pdf or an online calculator such as http://onlinestatbook.com/2/calculators/normal_dist.html to answer the following question: Dutch men are famously perceived as being tall. In a 2014 survey it was found that the mean adult male height in the Netherlands was 182.5 cm with a standard deviation of 7.4 cm and that the heights followed a normal distribution. What proportion of the population of adult males in the Netherlands would be between the heights of 178.8 cm and 186.2 cm? Express your answer as a percentage rounded off to 1 decimal place.

To test whether the mean time needed to mix a batch of material is the same for machines produced by three manufacturers, the Jacobs Chemical Company obtained the following data on the time (in minutes) needed to mix the material. Compute the values below (to 2 decimals, if necessary). Sum of Squares, Treatment Sum of Squares, Error a. Use these data to test whether the population mean times for mixing a batch of material differ for the three manufacturers. Use a = 0.05.

It costs more to produce defective items—since they must be scrapped or reworked—than it does to produce non-defective items. This simple fact suggests that manufacturers should ensure the quality of their products by perfecting their production processes instead of depending on inspection of finished products (Deming, 1986). In order to better understand a particular metal stamping process, a manufacturer wishes to estimate the mean length of items produced by the process during the past 24 hours. a. How many parts should be sampled in order to estimate the population mean to within .2 millimeter (mm) with 95% confidence? Previous studies of this machine have indicated that the standard deviation of lengths produced by the stamping operation is about 2 mm. b. Time permits the use of a sample size no larger than 225. If a 95% confidence interval for m is constructed with n = 225, will it be wider or narrower than would have been obtained using the sample size determined in part a?…
