In a survey of a group of men, the heights in the 20-29 age group were normally distributed, with a mean of 69.6 inches
and a standard deviation of 4.0 inches. A study participant is randomly selected. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.
(a) Find the probability that a study participant has a height that is less than 68 inches.
The probability that the study participant selected at random is less than 68 inches tall is 0.4. (Round to four decimal
places as needed.)

- You are provided with data that includes all 50 states of the United States. Your task is to draw a sample of: o 20 States using Random Sampling (2 points: 1 for random number generation; 1 for random sample) o 10 States using Systematic Sampling (4 points: 1 for random numbers generation; 1 for random sample different from the previous answer; 1 for correct K value calculation table; 1 for correct sample drawn by using systematic sampling) (For systematic sampling, do not use the original data directly. Instead, first randomize the data, and then use the randomized dataset to draw your sample.

Christchurch, New Zealand experienced a major earthquake on February 22, 2011. It destroyed 100,000 homes. Data were collected on a sample of 300 damaged homes. These data are saved in the file called CIEG315 Homework 4 data.xlsx, which is available on Canvas under Files. A subset of the data is shown in the accompanying table. Two of the variables are qualitative in nature: Wall construction and roof construction. Two of the variables are quantitative: (1) Peak ground acceleration (PGA), a measure of the intensity of ground shaking that the home experienced in the earthquake (in units of acceleration of gravity, g); (2) Damage, which indicates the amount of damage experienced in the earthquake in New Zealand dollars; and (3) Building value, the pre-earthquake value of the home in New Zealand dollars.

This has prompted me to consider whether we should introduce custom flower bouquets in our shop. We need to decide whether to start offering this new product. There are three options: provide a complete selection of custom bouquets for events like birthdays and anniversaries, start small with just a few ready-made flower arrangements, or do not add flowers. There are also three possible outcomes. First, we might see high demand, and the bouquets could sell quickly. Second, we might have medium demand, with a few sold each week. Third, there might be low demand, and the flowers may not sell well, possibly going to waste. These outcomes…arrow_forward
