The manager of a local soft drink company believes that when a new beverage dispensing machine is set to dispense 7 ounces, it in fact dispenses an amount X at random anywhere between 6.5 and 7.5 ounces. Suppose that X has a uniform distribution. (a) Find P (X > 7.1) (b) If you pick five bottles at random, what is the probability that exactly three bottles will contain more than 7.1 ounces?

In 1973, only 8% of the students in the city school district were classified as being learning disabled. A school psychologist suspects that the proportion of learning-disabled children has increased dramatically over the years. To demonstrate this point, a random sample of n = 13 students is selected. In this sample there are 3 students who have been identified as learning-disabled. You will use this information to determine if the sample indicates a change in the proportion of learning-disabled students at a 0.02 level of significance. Part 1: What is the hypothesized (assumed constant) population proportion for this test? p = (Report answer as a decimal accurate to 2 decimal places. Do not report using the percent symbol.) Based on the researcher's understanding of the situation, how many tails would this hypothesis test have? O one-tailed test two-tailed test
Recall that Benford's Law claims that numbers chosen from very large data files tend to have "1" as the first nonzero digit disproportionately often. In fact, research has shown that if you randomly draw a number from a very large data file, the probability of getting a number with "1" as the leading digit is about 0.301. Now suppose you are the auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue file contains millions of numbers in a large computer data bank. You draw a random sample of n = 226 numbers from this file and r = 87 have a first nonzero digit of 1. Let p represent the population proportion of all numbers in the computer file that have a leading digit of 1. 1) Test the claim that p is more than 0.301. Use α = 0.10. 2) What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 3) Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) 4) If p is in fact larger than 0.301, it would seem there are too many numbers in…
Chapters: Normal and Exponential random variables. Q: There exist naturally occurring random variables that are neither discrete nor continuous. Suppose a group of people is waiting for one more person to arrive before starting a meeting. Suppose that the arrival time of the person is exponential with mean 4 minutes, and that the meeting will start either when the person arrives or after 5 minutes, whichever comes first. Let X denote the length of time the group waits before starting the meeting. - a. Find P(0
1. Suppose you are a technician, whose repair time on a given job is said to follow an exponential distribution with expected time θ = 3 hours. You have 5 independent jobs lined up (you complete them sequentially, one by one). a. What is the probability of taking exactly 2 hours to finish a given job? b. What is the probability it will take more than 2 hours on a given job? c. You are on a given job and you already have been working for 1 hour. What is the probability it will at least an additional 2 hours to complete this job?
3. [From Meyer 1970] The following (somewhat simple-minded) weather forecasting is used by an amateur forecaster. Each day is classified as "wet" or "dry" and the probability that any given day is the same as the preceding one is assumed to be a constant p (0 < p < 1). Based on past records, it is supposed that January 1 has a probability of B of being "dry." Letting Br=probability (that the nth day of the year is "dry"), obtain an expression for Bn in terms of B and p. Also evaluate lim Bn and interpret your results.
12. The number of new individuals in a population of animals is sometimes approximated calculating the expected number of survivors of the new born animals from the next genera- tion. The idea is that the number of new animals born follows some probability distribution, and the number of animals that survive depend on how many are present.¹ One example of a survivor function is the following: S₁(k) = b.ck, where b and c are real numbers with 0

Suppose it is known from large amounts of historical data that X, the number of cars that arrive at a specific intersection during a 20-second time period, is characterized by the following discrete probability function: 6x f(x) = e-6, for x = 0,1,2, ... a) Find the probability that in a specific 20-second time period, more than 8 cars arrive at the intersection.

Suppose you are an auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue report involves millions of numbers in a large computer file. Let us say you took a random sample of n = 250 numerical entries from the file and r = 60 of the entries had a first nonzero digit of 1. Let p represent the population proportion of all numbers in the corporate file that have a first nonzero digit of 1. Test the claim that p is less than 0.301 by using α = 0.01.
