Using the estimates of the statistical parameters obtained in Problem # 2 for the flow dataset (42-years of flow data set) and based on the assumption that the given flow data set (42-year of flow values) follows a particular theoretical (Normal, Log-Normal, Gumbel, Log Pearson Type III) probability distribution, answer the following questions. (a) What is the 100-year flood? (b) What is the probability that a flood will be less than or equal to 10,000 m3/s? (c) Compare the results obtained above in parts (a) and (b) in a tabular format and comment on the adequacy and applicability of the theoretical distribution in the estimation of floods

(a) There are many situations in which we want to compare means from populations having standard deviations that are equal. This method applies even if the standard deviations are known to be only approximately equal. Consider a report regarding average incidence of fox rabies in two regions. For region I, n, = 14, x, = 4.75, and s, = 2.84 and for region II, n2 = 13, x2 = 3.95, and sz = 2.41. The two sample standard deviations are sufficiently close that we can assume o, = 0,. Use the method of pooled standard deviation to consider the report, testing if there is a difference in population mean average incidence of rabies at the 5% level of significance.

The consulting firm of Winston & Associates has been retained by an electronic component assembly company in Phoenix to design and program a computer simulation model of its operations. Winston & Associates plan to construct the model using ProModel software (see Promodel.com). This software allows the developer to program into the model probability distributions for things like machine downtime, defect rates, daily demand, and so forth. The closer the distributions specified in the computer model match those that actually occur in the assembly plant, the better the simulation model will perform. For one machine center, Winston consultants have assumed that when the center goes down for repairs, the time that it will be down will be normally distributed with an average of 30 minutes and a standard deviation equal to 10 minutes. Before finalizing the model, the consultants will collect a random sample of downtimes and test whether their downtime assumptions are valid. The…
Problem 5. The resistance of one meter of copper cable at a certain temperature is normally distributed with mean μ = 23.8 and variance o² = 1.28. a) What is the probability that a one-meter segment of copper cable has a resistance less than 23.0? b) What is the probability that a one-meter segment of copper cable has a resistance greater than 24.0? c) What is the probability that a one-meter segment of copper cable has a resistance between 24.2 and 24.5?
Problem: In a large introductory statistics class, the score X of a randomly selected student on a test worth 50 points can be modeled by a Normal distribution with mean 35 and standard deviation 5. Due to a difficult question on the test, the professor decides to add 5 points to each student's score. Let Y be the scaled test score of the randomly selected student. Describe the shape, center, and variability of the probability distribution of Y. 193

A European growth mutual fund specializes in stocks from the British Isles, continental Europe, and Scandinavia. The fund has over 325 stocks. Let x be a random variable that represents the monthly percentage return for this fund. Suppose x has mean μ = 1.5% and standard deviation σ = 0.9%.A button hyperlink to the SALT program that reads: Use SALT.(a) Let's consider the monthly return of the stocks in the fund to be a sample from the population of monthly returns of all European stocks. Is it reasonable to assume that x (the average monthly return on the 325 stocks in the fund) has a distribution that is approximately normal? Explain. Yes, x is a mean of a sample of n = 325 stocks. By the central limit theorem, the x distribution is approximately normal. (b) After 9 months, what is the probability that the average monthly percentage return x will be between 1% and 2%? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) After 18 months, what is the probability that the average monthly…
