You fit a model using an inverse exponential distribution (using the parametrization from the STAM tables) to ten losses. Four of these losses are exactly 56, 84, and 148, and the other six are less than 50. Calculate the maximum likelihood estimate of 0, and use it to find the 90h percentile of the fitted distribution.

A pharmaceutical company makes tranquilizers. It is assumed that the distribution for the length of time they last is approximately normal. Researchers in a hospital used the drug on a random sample of 9 patients. The effective period of the tranquilizer for each patient (in hours) was as follows: 2.6; 2.8; 3.0; 2.3; 2.3; 2.2; 2.8; 2.1; and 2.4.NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.) Part (a)
Assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of mu equals 100 and a standard deviation sigma equals 20 . Find the probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ less than 95 a. Find the z-score: z = nothing (round to 2 decimal places) b. Find the probability: nothing (use 4 decimal places)
The following data are the monthly salaries and the grade point averages for students who obtained a bachelor's degree in mathematics. GPA: 2.6, 3.4, 3.6, 3.2, 3.5, and 2.9; Monthly Salary: 3300, 3600, 4000, 3500, 3900, and 3600. Develop a 95% prediction interval for the expected value of y when x 3.6. Explain.
Suppose that the length of long distance phone calls, measured in minutes, is known to have an exponential distribution with the average length of a call equal to $24 minutes. The 16th percentile is a phone call that lasts minutes.

Snapchat has more than 200 million daily users sending over 3 billion snaps a day. Suppose that: The time X between snaps you received is governed by: Exponential distribution, u = 8 minutes
A recent survey of 1040 U.S. adults selected at random showed that 634 consider the occupation of firefighter to have very great prestige. Estimate the probability (to the nearest hundredth) that a U.S. adult selected at random thinks the occupation of firefighter has very great prestige.Step 1Recall that the probability of an event based on relative frequency uses the formulaprobability of event = relative frequency = fn,where f is the frequency of the event occurrence in a sample of n observations. A total of 1040 people were surveyed and 634 considered the occupation of firefighter to have very great prestige. Therefore, the sample size is n = . The event of interest is that a U.S. adult selected at random thinks the occupation of firefighter has very great prestige. Therefore, the frequency f is equal to the number of adults who the occupation of firefighter has very great prestige, so f = (0.6096 answer is incorrect.) .
The type of battery in Jim's laptop has a lifetime (in years) which follows a Weibull distribution with parameters a = 2 and B = 4. The type of battery in Jim's tablet has a lifetime (in years) which follows an exponential distribution with parameter A = 1/4. Find the probability that the lifetime of his laptop battery is less than 2.5 years and that the lifetime of his tablet battery is less than 3.2 years. (Answer as a decimal number, and round to 3 decimal places).
Students arrive one at a time, completely at random, to an advice clinic at a rate of10 per hour. Students take on average 5 minutes of advice but there is wide variation inthe time they need; this variation may be well modeled by the exponential distribution.b. Again assuming one advisor, what is the probability that there are more than tenstudents in the clinic at a random point in time? What is the probability that the timespent in the clinic exceeds 30 minutes?.
For each probability and percentile problem, draw the picture.Suppose that the length of long distance phone calls, measured in minutes, is known to have an exponential distribution with the average length of a call equal to 12 minutes. Part (g) Find the probability that a phone call lasts less than 13 minutes. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) Part (h) Find the probability that a phone call lasts more than 13 minutes. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) Part (i) Find the probability that a phone call lasts between 9 and 13 minutes. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
A researcher collected data from a sample of correctional officers and found that, on average, they made 47,173 dollars a year with S=6,364. Assuming that their salaries were normally distributed what proportion of correctional officers make less than 40,000 dollars a year?
Benford's Law claims that numbers chosen from very large data files tend to have "1" as the first nonzero digit disproportionately often. In fact, research has shown that if you randomly draw a number from a very large data file, the probability of getting a number with "1" as the leading digit is about 0.301. Suppose you are an auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue report involves millions of numbers in a large computer file. Let us say you took a random sample of n = 250 numerical entries from the file and r = 60 of the entries had a first nonzero digit of 1. Let p represent the population proportion of all numbers in the corporate file that have a first nonzero digit of 1. Test the claim that p is less than 0.301 by using α = 0.01. What does the area of the sampling distribution corresponding to your P-value look like? a. The area in the right tail of the standard normal curve. b. The area not including the right tail of the standard normal curve.…
