Expand Your knowledge: Continuous Uniform
Let
The base of the rectangle has length
must lie between
Now suppose that a and b are numbers such that
Because x is chosen at random from [a, b], the area of the rectangle that lies above [a, b] is the probability that x lies in
In this way. we can assign a probability to any interval inside |a. b|. This probability distribution is called the continuous uniform distribution (also called the rectangular distribution). Using some extra mathematics, it can be shown that if x is a random variable with this distribution, then the mean and standard deviation of x are
Sedimentation experiments are very important in the study of biology, medicine, hydrodynamics, petroleum engineering, civil engineering, and so on. The size (diameter) of approximately spherical particles is important since larger particles hinder and sometimes Mock the movement of smaller particles. Usually the size of sediment particles follows a uniform distribution (Reference: Y. Zimmels, "Theory of Kindred Sedimentation of Poly disperse Mixtures.” AIChE Journal, Vol. 29. No. 4. pp. 669-676).
Suppose a veterinary science experiment injects very small, spherical pellets of low-level radiation directly into an animal’s bloodstream The purpose is to attempt to cure a form of recurring cancer. The pellets eventually dissolve and pass through the animal's system. Diameters of the pellets are uniformly distributed from 0.015 mm to 0.065 mm If a pellet enters an artery, what is the probability that it will be the following sizes?
(a) 0.050 mm or larger. Hint: All particles are between 0.015 mm and 0.065 mm, so larger than 0.050 means
(b) 0.040 mm or smaller
(c) between 0.035 mm and 0.055 mm
(d) Compute the mean size of the particles.
(e) Compute the standard deviation of panicle size.

Understanding Basic Statistics
- 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.

The agency measures the average number of daily clicks on ads for three platforms: Social Media, Search Engines, and Email Campaigns. The agency collects data on daily clicks for each platform over a 10-day period and wants to test whether there is a statistically significant difference in the mean number of daily clicks among these platforms. Conduct ANOVA test. You can provide your answer by inserting a text box and the answer must include: also please provide a step by on getting the answers in excel Null hypothesis, Alternative hypothesis, Show answer (output table/summary table), and Conclusion based on the P value.arrow_forwardA company found that the daily sales revenue of its flagship product follows a normal distribution with a mean of $4500 and a standard deviation of $450. 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 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?
