The manager of a restaurant believes that waiters and waitresses who introduce themselves by telling customers their names will get larger tips than those who don't. In fact, she claims that the average tip for the former group is 16% while that of the latter is only 12%. If tips are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 8%, what is the probability that in a random sample of 15 tips recorded from waiters and waitresses who introduce themselves and 15 tips from waiters and waitresses who don't, the mean of the former will exceed that of the latter? Probability= 16.75
A small river is found to be polluted due to the chemical waste from two major industries, A and B. Due to the strict standards enforced by the EPA, the probability of controlling the pollutions from A and B are 0.7 and 0.85, respectively, in the next two years. It is estimated that, if only one of the industries complies with the strict standards of EPA, there is a 75 percent probability of controlling the pollution in the river to an acceptable level. (a) Find the probability of controlling the pollution in the river in the next two years. (b) If the pollution in the river is not controlled in the next two years, what is the probability that it is caused entirely by industry A?
A manufacturer of aspirin claims that the proportion of headache sufferers who get relief with just two aspirins is 62% What is the probability that in a random sample of 470 headache sufferers, less than 59.9% obtain relief?
According to a candy company, packages of a certain candy contain 24% orange candies. Find the approximate probability that the random sample of 300 candies will contain 29% or more orange candies. Using a normal approximation, what is the probability that at least 29% of 300 randomly sampled candies will be orange?
A research team is working on a project to study the time (in seconds) for high school male runners to finish a 400-meter race. Jimmy, a junior researcher in the team, has randomly selected a sample of 25 male runners from a high school and the time (in seconds) for each of them to complete a 400-meter race was recorded. The sample mean running time was 53 seconds. It is assumed that the running time in a 400-meter race follows a normal distribution with a population standard deviation of 5.5 seconds.(a) Give a point estimate of the population mean running time for a 400-meter race.(b) Calculate the sampling error at 95% confidence level.(c) Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean running time for a 400-meter race.
In a genetics experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 433 green peas and 121 yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected?
Suppose that 70% of Americans support the death penalty for persons convicted of murder. Let p> (p hat) be the sample proportion of proportion of people who support the death penalty in an SRS of Americans. Suppose we set our sample size to be n=84. What is the probability of choosing an SRS in which between 65% and 73% of the people in the people in the sample support the death penalty? That is, find P(0.65<p(phat)<0.73). Show your work and box your answer.

What is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted?
A management consultant found that the amount of time per day spent by executives performing tasks that could be done equally well by subordinates followed a normal distribution with a mean of 2.4 hours. It was also found that 10% of executives spent over 3.5 hours per day on tasks of this type. For a random sample of 400 executives, find the probability that more than 80 spend more than 3 hours per day on tasks of this type.

The billing department of a local department store sends monthly statements to the store’s customers. For those statements to reach the customer in a timely fashion, the addresses on the envelopes must be correct. Occasionally errors are made with the addresses. The billing department estimates that errors are made 2 percent of the time. For this continuous process, in which an error in the address is considered a nonconforming unit, what is the probability that in a sample size of eight, one address or less will be incorrect?
