The following data are derived from the Monthly Vital Statistics Report (October 1999) issued by the National Center for Health Statistics [10]. These data are pertinent to livebirths only. Suppose that infants are classified as low birthweight if they have a bírthweight <2500 g and as normal bírthweight if they have a birthweight 22500 g. Suppose that infants are also classified by length of gestation in the following five categories: <28 weeks, 28-31 weeks, 32–35 weeks, 36 weeks, and 237 weeks. Assume the probabilities of the dif- ferent periods of gestation are as given in Table 3.8. Also assume that the probability of low birthweight is .949 gíven a gestatíon of <28 weeks, .702 given a gestatíon of 28-31 weeks, .434 given a gestation of 32-35 weeks, .201 given a gestation of 36 weeks, and .029 given a gesta- tion of 237 weeks.

suppose the length of the pregnancies of a certain animal is approximately normally distributed with mean = 100 days and standard deviation = 7 what is the probability that a randomly selected pregnancy less than 110 days?
Suppose the number of Covax and Pfizer vaccine bought by the Philippine government are normally distributed with 25% of the Covax vaccine are below 180,000 dozens and 30% of the Pfizer vaccine are below 250`,000 dozens. What are the mean and standard deviation
Incidence rate refers to new cases for 'collective time at-risk' that can be measured as person-years, person-months or even person-days etc. A three-year study reported a total of 3538 cases at the end and this total included old or pre-existing 605 cases identified at baseline. Please calculate incidence rate if total time at risk is 14155 person-years. NOTE: Calculate Incidence rate as per 1000 person-years & type in only your final answer with two decimals. Correct rounding and use of brackets on your calculator are essential.

If the distribution of the population has a nonzero standard deviation and mean 12 then the probability that an individual data value will be greater than 14 is always less than the probability that the mean of 45 randomly selected data values will be greater than 14. True or False
The number of customers served at a busy restaurant on Thursdays follows a Normal distribution with mean 6,352 and standard deviation 254. Suppose we select a simple random sample of 36 Thursdays and use it to compute \overline{x} , the average number of customers served on each of these Thursdays. What is the probability that the number of customers served on a random Thursday exceeds 6,501?
Employees of a state university system can choose from among four different health plans. Each plan differs somewhat from the others in terms of hospitalization coverage. Four random samples of recently hospitalized individuals were selected, each sample consisting of people covered by a different health plan. The length of the hospital stay (number of days) was determined for each individual selected. USE SALT (a) What hypotheses would you test to decide whether the mean lengths of stay are not the same for all four health plans? (Let μ₁, M₂, M3, and 4 be the true mean length of hospital stay for the four different health plans.)

The smallest number which is considered a usual value for the Random Variable can be found by "Mean - 2*standard deviation". The largest number which is considered a usual value for the Random Variable can be found by "Mean + 2*standard deviation" If X is a binomial random variable, where there are 170 trials, and p = 0.875 find the smallest value that would be considered usual for X (write as a decimal).
