Let X be a chi-squared random variable with 17 degrees of freedom. What is the probability that X is greater than 10?
Let a be a random variable representing the percentage of protein content for early bloom alfalfa hay. The average percentage protein content of such early bloom alfalfa should be u = 17.2%. A farmer's co-op is thinking of buying a large amount of baled hay but suspects that the hay is from a later summer cutting with lower protein content. A small amount of hay was removed from each bale of a random sample of 50 bales. The average protein content from the samples was determined by a local agricultural college to be -15.8% with a sample standard deviation of S = 5.3%- At a = .05, does this hay have lower average protein content than the early bloom alfalfa?
In the airline business, "on-time" flight arrival is important for connecting flights and general customer satisfaction. Is there a difference between summer and winter average on-time flight arrivals? Let x1 be a random variable that represents percentage of on-time arrivals at major airports in the summer. Let x2 be a random variable that represents percentage of on-time arrivals at major airports in the winter. A random sample of n1 = 16 major airports showed that x1 = 74.9%, with s1 = 5.3%. A random sample of n2 = 18 major airports showed that x2 = 70.2%, with s2 = 8.6%. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value a small amount and thereby produce a slightly more "conservative" answer. (a) Does this information indicate a difference (either way) in the population mean percentage of on-time arrivals for summer compared to winter? Use α = 0.05. (i) What is the…

I asked this question before, and got an answer, but I have a question about the response that was given. The original question was: For an initial investment of 100, an investment yields returns of X1 and X2, where X1 and X2 are independent normal random variables with mean 60 and variance 25. What is the probability that the rate of return of this investment is greater than 10%? In the answer that was given it says that the gain of the investment is X1+X2. My question is why can we just group those together as one amount? I was given a formula in my class that says the return on the investment would be the solution to the equation: -100+ X1/(1+r) + X2/(1+r)2=0. If this formula is used, a different solution would result for this problem.
Total blood volume (in ml) per body weight (in kg) is important in medical research. For healthy adults, the red blood cell volume mean is about u = 28 ml/kgt. Red blood cell volume that is too low or too high can indicate a medical problem. Suppose that Roger has had seven blood tests, and the red blood cell volumes were as follows. 31 26 43 37 32 38 29 Let x be a random variable that represents Roger's red blood cell volume. Assume that x has a normal distribution and o = 4.75. Do the data indicate that Roger's red blood cell volume is different (either way) from u = 28 ml/kg? Use a 0.01 level of significance. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. Will you use a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test? O Ho: H = 28 ml/kg; H,: µ > 28 ml/kg; right-tailed O Ho: H = 28 ml/kg; H,: u < 28 ml/kg; left-tailed O Họ: H + 28 ml/kg; H,: µ = 28 ml/kg; two-tailed O Ho: H = 28 ml/kg; H,: µ + 28 ml/kg; two-tailed (b) What sampling distribution will you…
Write about the role of box-and-plots in statistical random experiments. The double whisker plots of the homework time (in minutes) per night with TV time per night of the same group of the students are: a) What percent of the students work on homework for at least 48 minutes per night? b) What percent of the students watch TV for at least 15minutes per night? c) Is it more common for the students at this university to spend more than 1 hour on homework and more than 1 hour on watching TV also? Explain.
A certain model of an automobile is having a fault in the braking mechanism after sale. This is a very serious failure with catastrophic results at high speed. The distribution of the number of cars per year that will experience the fault is found to be a random variable with x=5. a) What is the probability that at most 3 cars per year will experience a catastrophe ? b) What is the probability that more than 1 car per year will experience a catastrophe ?
(a) The first section entails selecting randomly 12 cans of peas from a canning factory's output on a given day, and weighing the contents. For the sample, the mean weight is 301-8 g, and the standard deviation is 1-8 g. Find the 99% confidence limits for the mean weight of peas in tins produced by the factory on the relevant day. Then, a second random sample of 12 tins is collected the following day. The mean and standard deviation of the contents for this sample are 302-1 gm and 1-6 gm, respectively. Show that a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean weights on the two days includes zero. Assuming that the variances of the weights are the same on the two days, do not change the variances of the weights.Assume right now that the samples taken on both days came from the same population. Based on the results of the two samples, calculate the 99% confidence interval for the population's mean tin weight.
