A cover shoe manufacturer collected data regarding cover shoe sizes for medical practitioners and found that the distribution of sizes exactly fits a normal curve. If the mean shoe size is 11 and the standard deviation is 1.5. (a)What is the probability of randomly selecting a man with a shoe size smaller than 9.5? (b)If I surveyed 40 men, how many would be expected to wear smaller than 9.5?
A random sample of 25 values is drawn from a mound-shaped and symmetric distribution. The sample mean is 14 and the sample standard deviation is 2. Use a level of significance of 0.05 to conduct a two-tailed test of the claim that the population mean is 13.5. (a) Is it appropriate to use a Student's t distribution? Explain. Yes, because the x distribution is mound-shaped and symmetric and ? is unknown. No, the x distribution is skewed left. No, the x distribution is skewed right. No, the x distribution is not symmetric.No, ? is known. How many degrees of freedom do we use?(b) What are the hypotheses? H0: ? = 13.5; H1: ? < 13.5 H0: ? < 13.5; H1: ? = 13.5 H0: ? = 13.5; H1: ? ≠ 13.5 H0: ? > 13.5; H1: ? = 13.5 H0: ? = 13.5; H1: ? > 13.5 (c) Compute the t value of the sample test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) t = (d) Estimate the P-value for the test. P-value > 0.250 0.100 < P-value < 0.250 0.050 < P-value < 0.100 0.010…
The length of stay at a specific emergency department in Phoenix, Arizona, in 2009 had a mean of 4.6 hours with a standard deviation of 2.9. Assume that the length of stay is normally distributed. a What is the probability of a length of stay greater than 10 hours? b What length of stay is exceeded by 25% of the visits? c From the normally distributed model, what is the probability of a length of stay less than 0 hours? Comment on the normally distributed assumption in this example.
A study by the American Heart Association studied the distribution of birth weights for 1295 newborns (preterm babies excluded). They found that the birth weight of human babies is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 7.6 pounds and a standard deviation of 1.09 pounds. (a.) What is the probability that a randomly chosen baby weighs more than 9 pounds at birth? (b.) What is the probability that a randomly chosen baby weights between 6 and 8 pounds at birth? (c.) What is the 80th percentile for birth weight?
Coal is carried from a mine in West Virginia to a power plant in New York in hopper cars on a long train. The automatic hopper car loader is set to put 53 tons of coal into each car. The actual weights of coal loaded into each car are normally distributed, with mean u = 53 tons and standard deviation o = 1.3 ton. n USE SALT (a) What is the probability that one car chosen at random will have less than 52.5 tons of coal? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) What is the probability that 42 cars chosen at random will have a mean load weight x of less than 52.5 tons of coal? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
The SAT mathematics scores across the population of high school seniors are a normal random variable with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100. Assume that the SAT mathematics test scores of different students are independent. (a) Find the probability that five randomly chosen seniors all score below 600. (b) What score must a student obtain to be in the 99th percentile?
The manager of a computer retail store is concerned that his suppliers have been giving him laptop with lower than average quality. His research shows that replacement times for the model laptop of concern are normally distributed with a mean of 3.6 years and a standard deviation of 0.5 years. He then randomly selects records on 44 laptop sold in the past and finds that the mean replacement time is 3.4 years. Find the probability that 44 randomly selected laptops will have a mean replacement time of 3.4 years or less. b] Based on the result, above does it appear that the computer store has been given laptops of lower than average quality C} Please also do explain how to solve using Excel
A psycho-linguist has been studying the frequency of text-speech (e.g., R U Ok?, LOL ) has been progressing into EMAIL correspondence. He collects a sample of 121 EMAIL messages and computes the mean (average) number of examples of text-speech per message. He also has a huge library of archived EMAIL messages from the year 2001. From these he is able to calculate the population average and standard deviation. Compute a inferential statistic to evaluate the hypothesis that the use of text-speech has increased in the years since 2001. Use an alpha level that would insure a maximum of a %5 risk of rejecting a true null hypothesis. These are the obtained values: Population Mean from 2001: 1.6 Population Standard deviation from 2001: 1.25 Sample mean from this year: 1.98 The appropriate statistics to use is a ___ test.
Are the mean number of times a month a person eats out the same for whites, blacks, Hispanics and Asians? Suppose that the table below shows the results of a study. White Black Hispanic Asian 5 4 8 9 8 1 3 3 2 5 5 5 4 2 4 1 6 6 7 Assume that all distributions are normal, the four population standard deviations are approximately the same, and the data were collected independently and randomly. Use a level of significance of 0.05. (Let 1 = White, 2 = Black, 3 = Hispanic, and 4 = Asian.) Part (a) State the null hypothesis. H0: ?1 = ?2 = ?3 = ?4 H0: At least two of the group means ?1, ?2, ?3, ?4, are not equal. Part (b) State the alternative hypothesis. Ha: At least two of the group means ?1, ?2, ?3, ?4, are not equal. Ha: ?1 = ?2 = ?3 = ?4 Part (c) Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal. df(num) = Part (d) Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal. df(denom) = Part (e) State the…
