Random Numbers. A variable is said to be uniformly distributed or to have a uniform distribution with parameters a and b if its distribution has the shape of the horizontal line segment with equation y = 1/(b − a), for a < x < b. The
- a. Sketch the distribution of a uniformly distributed variable with parameters 0 and 1. Observe from your sketch that such a variable is far from being
normally distributed. - b. Use the technology of your choice to simulate 2000 samples of two random numbers between 0 and 1.
- c. Find the sample mean of each of the 2000 samples obtained in part (b).
- d. Determine the mean and standard deviation of the 2000 sample means.
- e. Theoretically, what are the mean and the standard deviation of all possible sample means for samples of size 2? Compare your answers to those you obtained in part (d).
- f. Obtain a histogram of the 2000 sample means. Is the histogram bell shaped? Would you expect it to be?
- g. Repeat parts (b)–(f) for a
sample size of 35.

The company defines a "high-sales day" that is, any day with sales exceeding $4800. please provide a step by step on how to get the answers in excel Q: What percentage of days can the company expect to have "high-sales days" or sales greater than $4800? Q: What is the sales revenue threshold for the bottom 10% of days? (please note that 10% refers to the probability/area under bell curve towards the lower tail of bell curve) Provide answers in the yellow cellsarrow_forwardFind the critical value for a left-tailed test using the F distribution with a 0.025, degrees of freedom in the numerator=12, and degrees of freedom in the denominator = 50. A portion of the table of critical values of the F-distribution is provided. Click the icon to view the partial table of critical values of the F-distribution. What is the critical value?

- A retail store manager claims that the average daily sales of the store are $1,500. You aim to test whether the actual average daily sales differ significantly from this claimed value. You can provide your answer by inserting a text box and the answer must include: Null hypothesis, Alternative hypothesis, Show answer (output table/summary table), and Conclusion based on the P value. Showing the calculation is a must.
