The mean cost to Metropolis of an insured hospitalized influenza patient is $5634 with a standard deviation of $1204 mg. Let us assume that the cost for any patient is independent from the cost of any other patient. In the coming influenza season, Metropolis expects 28900 insured hospitalized influenza patients. Suppose we look at the cost of each hospitalized influenza patient during the influenza season. Let M be the random variable representing the mean cost of all the 28900 insured hospitalized influenza patients. Let T = the random variable representing the total cost of the 28900 insured hospitalized influenza patients. a) What theorem will let us treat T and M as approximately normal random variables? Law of Large Numbers Convolution Theorem Chebychev's Theorem 301 Theorem Monte Carlo Theorem Central Limit Theorem b) What is the expected value of T? c) What is the standard deviation of T?

To become an actuary, it is necessary to pass a series of 10 exams, including the most important one, an exam in probability and statistics. An insurance company wants to estimate the mean score on this exam for actuarial students who have enrolled in a special study program. They take a sample of 8 actuarial students in this program and find the mean of the sample is 6.0 with standard deviation of the sample 2.0. This sample will be used to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean score for actuarial students in the special study program. A 95% confidence interval for the mean score of actuarial students in the special program is from ________ to ________. Question 17 options: 1) 3.52 to 8.47 2) 4.69 to 7.31 3) 4.66 to 7.34 4) 4.33 to 7.67
In a large group of young couples, the stan- dard deviation of the husbands' ages is four years, and that of the wives' ages is three years. Let D denote the age difference within a couple. Under what circumstances might you expect to find that the standard deviation of age differences in the group is about 5 years? Instead you find it to be 2 years. One possibility is that the discrepancy is the result of random variability. Give another explanation.

The weights of 1,000 men in a certain town follow a normal distribution with a mean of 150 pounds and a standard deviation of 15 pounds. From the data, we can conclude that the number of men weighing more than 165 pounds is about , and the number of men weighing less than 135 pounds is about .
Suppose a researcher wants to test if the average diastolic blood pressure in Irish-Americans is different than the average diastolic blood pressure in the general population. Note that the average diastolic blood pressure in the general population is 70 mmHG. The researcher recruits 30 Irish-Americans into this particular study and then measures each of their diastolic blood pressures (mmHG). The population of this sample has a standard deviation equal to 3.0. What is the two-sided alternative hypothesis? (in words) Group of answer choices The mean is different than 70 The mean is different than 73 The mean is greater than 70 The mean is greater than 73
