The 3 month demand for a spare car part has the following probability mass function: x 0 1 2 p(x) 0.25 0.5 0.25 a) What is the probability that there will be at most 1 unit of demand during the time period? b) What is the variance of the demand?
Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Test the hypothesis that the downtown police officers have a higher lead exposure than the group in the previous study. Interpret your results in context. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration level of police officers contain 35 µg/l? Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for this difference contain 0? Explain why or why not.

The midterm exam scores (X) and final exam scores (Y ) for a sample of students are related by the formula Y = aX + C, where X and Y are independent normal random variables.Assume that C has a zero mean and unknown standard deviation σ. Some statistics of the samples are mean of x=15 s.d. of x=5 mean of y=35 s.d. of y=2 Assuming that the actual statistics of X and Y are equal to the statistics of the sample, calculate the parameters a and σ.

A medical researcher claims that the proportion of people taking a certain medication that develop serious side effects is 12%. To test this claim, a random sample of 900 people taking the medication is taken and it is determined that 93 people have experienced serious side effects. . The following is the setup for this hypothesis test: H0:p = 0.12 Ha:p ≠ 0.12 Find the p-value for this hypothesis test for a proportion and round your answer to 3 decimal places. The following table can be utilized which provides areas under the Standard Normal Curve:

A research center claims that 30% of adults in a certain country would travel into space on a commercial flight if they could afford it. In a random sample of 800 adults in that country, 34% say that they would travel into space on a commercial flight if they could afford it. At α=0.05, is there enough evidence to reject the research center's claim? Complete parts (a) through (d) below. (a) Identify the claim and state H0 and Ha. Let p be the population proportion of successes, where success is an adult in the country who would travel into space on a commercial flight if they could afford it. State H0 and Ha. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. b) Use technology to find the P-value. Identify the standardized test statistic. Identify the P-value. (c) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis and (d) interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
