The level of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and nonmethane organic gas (NMOG) in the exhaust over the useful life (150,000150,000 miles of driving) of cars of a particular model varies Normally with mean 8080 mg/mi and standard deviation 66 mg/mi. A company has 1616 cars of this model in its fleet. Using Table A, find the level ?L such that the probability that the average NOX + NMOG level ?¯x¯ for the fleet greater than ?L is only 0.030.03 ?

A certain type of cancer is known to exist in 2 percent of the population of the males in their fifties. A test for the disease has been is advertised by a pharmaceutical company to have sensitivity 0.97 and specificity 0.95. A male is randomly selected from this population, and tested. The test result is negative. First determine the probability this male has the cancer.

The Poisson distribution gives the probability for the number of occurrences for a "rare" event. Now, let x be a random variable that represents the waiting time between rare events. Using some mathematics, it can be shown that x has an exponential distribution. Let x > 0 be a random variable and let β > 0 be a constant. Then y = 1 β e−x/β is a curve representing the exponential distribution. Areas under this curve give us exponential probabilities. If a and b are any numbers such that 0 < a < b, then using some extra mathematics, it can be shown that the area under the curve above the interval [a, b] is the following. P(a < x < b) = e−a/β − e−b/β Notice that by definition, x cannot be negative, so, P(x < 0) = 0. The random variable x is called an exponential random variable. Using some more mathematics, it can be shown that the mean and standard deviation of x are the following. μ = β and σ = β Note: The number e = 2.71828 is used throughout…
