To qualify for a Master’s degree program in Business Administration at San Sebastian College, candidates must score in the top 20% on a mental ability test. The test has a mean of 180 and a standard deviation of 25. Find the lowest possible score to qualify. Assume the test scores are normally distributed. Solution: Step 1: Draw a figure and represent the area. Step 2: Find the z value. Step 3: Solution to find the lowest possible score.
Calculate the incidence rate of prostate cancer in this population A population of 200 healthy men was followed up for the development of prostate cancer. 10 men were followed-up for 1 year and were then lost to follow-up. After being followed-up for 5 years, 10 men developed prostate cancer. The remaining men who never developed prostate cancer were followed for 10 years.
A random sample of size 13 is taken from a population. A normal probability plot of the sample data shows no outliers but has significant curvature. The population standard deviation is unknown.
Applying the Central Limit Theorem: The amount of contaminants that are allowed in food products is determined by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Common contaminants in cow milk include feces, blood, hormones, and antibiotics. Suppose you work for the FDA and are told that the current amount of somatic cells (common name "pus") in 1 cc of cow milk is currently 750,000 (note: this is the actual allowed amount in the US!). You are also told the standard deviation is 130000 cells. The FDA then tasks you with checking to see if this is accurate. You collect a random sample of 55 specimens (1 cc each) which results in a sample mean of 773830 pus cells. Use this sample data to create a sampling distribution. Assume that the population mean is equal to the FDA's legal limit and see what the probability is for getting your random sample. a. Why is the sampling distribution approximately normal? _____________ b. What is the mean of the sampling distribution? _____________ c. What is…
10) Integrated circuits consist of electric channels that are etched onto silicon wafers. A certain proportion of circuits are defective because of "undercutting", which occurs when too much material is etched away so that the channels, which consist of the unetched portions of the wafers, are too narrow. A redesigned process, involving lower pressure in the etching chamber, is being investigated. The goal is to reduce the rate of undercutting to less than 5%. Out of the first 1000 circuits manufactured by the new process, only 32 show evidence of undercutting. If someone asks you the question "Can you conclude that the goal has been met?", what is the p-value that you'll report? Round the answer to four decimal places.
