Explanation Given: About 37% of cars are produced by an automobile manufacturer and 5% of the cars are manufactured at plant A have the defective emission control device. Formula used: Conditional probability: Let A and B be two events then the conditional probability is given by, P ( A | B ) = P ( A ∩ B ) P ( B ) or P ( B | A ) = P ( A ∩ B ) P ( A ) The product rule based on conditional probability is, P ( A ∩ B ) = P ( A | B ) P ( B ) or P ( A ∩ B ) = P ( B | A ) P ( A ) Calculation: Define the event A as car is produced at plant A and event B as car has defective emission control devices

Diabetes and obesity are serious health concerns in the United States and much of the developed world. Measuring the amount of body fat a person carries is one way to monitor weight control progress, but measuring it accurately involves either expensive X-ray equipment or a pool in which to dunk the subject. Instead body mass index (BMI) is often used as a proxy for body fat because it is easy to measure: BMI = mass(kg)/(height(m))² = 703 mass(lb)/(height(in))². In a study of 15 men at TXST, both BMI and body fat were measured. Researchers imported the data into statistical software for analysis. A few values are missing from the output. Complete the table by filling in the missing values.

The use of electromyostimulation (EMS) as a method to train healthy skeletal muscle is studied. EMS sessions consisted of 30 contractions (4-second duration, 85 Hz) and were carried out three times per week for three weeks on 17 ice hockey players. The 10-meter skating performance test showed a standard deviation of 0.90 seconds. Is there strong evidence to conclude that the standard deviation of performance time exceeds the historical value of 0.75 seconds? Use a = 0.05.
