Find the area in a t-distribution above 2.3 if the sample has size n=6.Round your answer to three decimal places.area = Enter your answer in accordance to the question statementarrow_forwardCalls arrive at a switchboard with a mean of one every 11 seconds. What is the exponential probability that it will take more than 21 seconds for the next call to arrive?arrow_forward
- Assume that the amount of time until a kid gets bored and wants to leave a playground can be modeled using exponential distribution. Given that 5 kids leave a particular playground on average per hour, if a kid has already played 10 minutes there what is the probability he will have spent at least a total of 25 minutes before he leaves?

Both dice show the same number 2 times, and on 3 rolls, exactly one number is odd. E is the event that the sum of the numbers is even. P(E) =arrow_forward
- Using the Central Limit Theorem. In Exercises 5–8, assume that females have pulse rates that are normally distributed with a mean of 74.0 beats per minute and a standard deviation of 12.5 beats per minute (based on Data Set 1 “Body Data” in Appendix B). a. If 1 adult female is randomly selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is greater than 70 beats per minute. b. If 25 adult females are randomly selected, find the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean greater than 70 beats per minute. c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part (b), even though the sample size does not exceed 30?arrow_forwardnt: Chapter 5 Assignment Exercise 05.08 Algo (Developing Discrete Probability Distributions) x 1 2 The following data were collected by counting the number of operating rooms in use at Tampa General Hospital over a 20-day period: On three of the days only one operating room was used, on five of the days two were used, on eight of the days three were used, and on four days all four of the hospital's operating rooms were used. Round your answers to two decimal places. a. Use the relative frequency approach to construct an empirical discrete probability distribution for the number of operating rooms in use on any given day. 3 4 f(x) ***** Total b.
