You are a bookseller with a case of 35 picture books: 5 copies of Cat Toys for Emus1 (45 pages long), 10 copies of Emus at War2 (350 pages long), and 20 copies of Emus on Ice3 (100 pages long). (a) What is E[X] if X is the number of pages in a randomly chosen book? (b) If the cost per page of each of these books is $0.13, what is the expected cost of that randomly chosen book?

The management of the local zoo wants to know if all of their animal exhibits are equally popular. If there is significant evidence that some of the exhibits are not being visited frequently enough, then changes may need to take place within the zoo. A tally of visitors is taken for each of the following animals throughout the course of a week, and the results are contained in the following table. At a = 0.025, determine whether there is sufficient evidence to conclude that some exhibits are less popular than others.

Suppose that a lake is stocked with N fish of the same age, and that M is the mortality rate of the fish (the fraction of the fish that will die of natural causes during the year), and F is the fishing rate (the fraction that will be caught commercially). Then the number of fish C that will be caught during the year is given by the formula C=FN/ M+F; in this formula, M and F must be entered as decimal values. (a) Suppose that the lake is stocked with 5500 catfish at the beginning of the season and that the fish have a 7% mortality rate. If the catfish are removed at a fishing rate of 25%, what are the appropriate values of the quantities N, M and F in this situation? Use these to determine how many catfish will be caught by fishing from the lake. (b) Treat N and M as parameters with the same values given above. Then complete this table of function values of C in terms of F : (c) If this function C = C(F) were graphed, would it be an increasing or decreasing function? Would it…
1. Pretend that in a certain city the number of new cases of COVID was reported to be 200 new cases on Sunday. Let’s pretend that the number of new cases grows by 22% on Monday, and then after that falls by 22% on Tuesday Question C: What percent would the percent increase have to be on Monday to have a total change of zero% from Sunday to Tuesday? i.e. new covid cases go up by ???% on Monday and then down 22% on Tuesday for a total change of 0%. (Use decimals in answer if needed)
Suppose that Melanie is a researcher who wishes to estimate the mean birthweight of full-term babies in her hospital. What is the minimum number of babies should she sample if she wishes to be at least 90% confident that the mean birthweight of the sample is within 225 grams of the the mean birthweight of all babies? Assume that the distribution of birthweights at her hospital is normal with a standard deviation of 600 g.
For Numbers 4 and 5: Dr. Kae Dee, a resident cardiologist who intends to specialize in vascular medicine, wants to verify a claim from a study which states that chronic venous insufficiency affects about 1 in 20 adults. She obtained records from 40 randomly selected hospitals from municipalities with relatively similar population sizes and obtained the number of reported chronic venous insufficiency cases. Let X be the number of reported chronic venous insufficiency cases. 4. Which of the following is(are) TRUE? 1. X is a discrete random variable with possible values x = {0, 1, 2, 3, ..., 40) II. The sum of probabilities of all values of X is 1. A. I only 5. Presented below is the probability distribution table from Dr. Kae Dee's study. X=x P[X=x] A. 1.00 B. II only 19 0.22 20 0.38 B. 4.10 C.
