Q.1 The probability that a patient with a heart attack dies of the attack
is 0.04 (i.e., 4 of 100 die of the attack). Suppose we have 5 patients
who suffer a heart attack, what is the probability that all will survive?
Find the mean and variance.
You want to determine whether there is a significant difference in the use of cell phone applications by people born between 1946–1964 (Baby Boomers) and those born between 1977– 1994 (Generation Y). Baby Boomers consist of 20 persons with a mean of 5 (from a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 representing no usage and 10 representing daily usage) and a standard variation of 1.07. Generation Y consists of 15 persons with a mean of 6 and a standard variation of 2.1.Determine using alpha 0.05 whether there is a significant difference in cell phone usage between the two groups

The data in Table 7–6 were collected in a clinical trial to evaluate a new compound designed to improve wound healing in trauma patients. The new compound was com- pared against a placebo. After treatment for 5 days with the new compound or placebo, the extent of wound healing was measured. Is there a difference in the extent of wound healing between the treatments? (Hint: Are treatment and the percent wound healing independent?) Run the appropriate test at a 5% level of significance. Use the data in Problem 1. Pool the data across the treatments into one sample of size n = 250. Use the pooled data to test whether the distribution of the percent wound healing is approximately normal. Specifically, use the following distribution 30%, 40%, 20%, and 10% and a = 0.05 to run the appropriate test.
