PRACTICE ANOTHER
A computer repair shop has two work centers. The first center examines the computer to see what is wrong, and the second center repairs the computer. Let x₁ and x2 be
random variables representing the lengths of time in minutes to examine a computer (✗₁) and to repair a computer (x2). Assume x and x, are independent random variables.
Long-term history has shown the following times.
01
Examine computer, x₁₁ = 29.6 minutes; σ₁ = 8.1 minutes
Repair computer, X2: μ₂ = 92.5 minutes; σ2 = 14.5 minutes
(a) Let W = x₁ + x2 be a random variable representing the total time to examine and repair the computer. Compute the mean, variance, and standard deviation of W.

The acidity or alkalinity of a solution is measured using pH. A pH less than 7 is acidic; a pH greater than 7 is alkaline. The accompanying data represent the pH in samples of bottled water and tap
water. Complete parts (a) and (b).
Click the icon to view the data table.
(a) Determine the mean, median, and mode pH for each type of water. Comment on the differences between the two water types.
Select the correct choice below and fill in any answer boxes in your choice.
A. For tap water, the mean pH is
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
B. The mean does not exist.

Forces on the hand were measured for several common activities that veterinarians engage in when examining or treating horses.

Assume that both sample sizes are 6, the sample mean force for lifting was 6.2 pounds with standard deviation 1.5 pounds, and the sample mean force for using ultrasound was 6.4 pounds with standard deviation 0.3 pounds. Assume that the standard deviations are known. Suppose that you wanted to detect a true difference in mean force of 0.25 pounds on the hands for these two activities.
