- Research suggested that the distribution of amount of dissolved solids (D) at wastewater treatment plant is lognormal distribution with mean value 10260 kg/day/km and a coefficient of variation of 40 %. 1. What is the probability that D is at most 15050 kg/day/km? 2. What is the probability that Dexceeds the mean of the distribution? Is it 50%? Why/Why not? Note.

The highest temperature she recorded was 29 °C to the nearest degree. Let X represent the error in the measured temperature. a Suggest a suitable model for the distribution of X. b Using your model, calculate the probability that the error will be less than 0.2°C. e Find the variance of the error in the measured temperature.arrow_forward

This method is designed to increase the likelihood that each baby will be a girl, but assume that the method has no effect, so the probability of a girl is 0.5 Assume that the groups consist of 46 couples. Part 1 a. Find the mean and the standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 46 births.arrow_forward
