Two measurements are made of some quantity. For the first measurement, the average
is 74.4528, the RMS error is 6.7441, and the uncertainty of the mean is 0.9264. For the
second one, the average is 76.8415, the standard deviation is 8.3348, and the uncertainty of
the mean is 1.1448. The expected value is exactly 75.
13. Express the first measurement in public notation.
14. Is there a significant difference between the two measurements?

15. How does the first measurement compare with the expected value?
16. How does the second measurement compare with the expected value?

You draw two slips of paper at random from the hat,without replacing the first slip into the hat.(a) (5 points) Write out the sample space S for this experiment.(b) (5 points) Express the event E : {the sum of the numbers on the slips of paper is 4} as a subset of S.(c) (5 points) Find P(E)(d) (5 points) Let F = {the larger minus the smaller number is 0}. What is P(F )?(e) (5 points) Are E and F disjoint? Why or why not?(f) (5 points) Find P(E ∪ F )
In addition to the in-school milk supplement program, the nurse would like to increase the use of daily vitamin supplements for the children by visiting homes and educating about the merits of vitamins. She believes that currently, about 50% of families with school-age children give the children a daily megavitamin. She would like to increase this to 70%. She plans a two-group study, where one group serves as a control and the other group receives her visits. How many families should she expect to visit to have 80% power of detecting this difference? Assume that drop-out rate is 5%.
