- Recent publications have addressed the growing concern in the scientific community around the increased prevalence of CAT scans in children between the ages of 7-18 and the growing rate of childhood cancers. Suppose the researcher plans to gather a SRS from a group of children in this age range who have received one or more CAT scans, and a SRS from a group of children who have never received a CAT scan and compare the number of cases of childhood cancers that develop over a prolonged period of time. Assume the following table summarizes the descriptive statistics for his samples. Population Average cases of childhood cancers Standard deviaton Sample size >CAT scan 24.6 2.4 1,894 No CAT scans 11.4 1.9 2,745 A) Carry out the appropriate statistical test to answer the researcher’s hypothesis regarding the difference in average cases of childhood cancers in children aged 7-18 receiving one or more CAT scans versus those that have never received a CAT scan.

The service times for check outs are exponentially distributed with a mean service time of 3 minutes. Customer arrivals to cashiers follow a Poisson arrival process with an average 110 customers per hour.a. What is the minimum number of cashers that would be needed to have the utilization less than one?b. If the waiting time is too long, customers might leave the store or even do not enter the store. It is estimated that for every minute of waiting time, the supermarket loses a potential profit of 50 HKD every hour from lost sales. The hourly wage for a casher is 80 HKD / hour. How many cashers should the supermarket employ to maximize its profit?

- A dietitian wishes to see if a person’s cholesterol level will be changed if the diet is supplemented by a certain mineral. Four subjects were pre-tested, and they took the mineral supplement for a 6-week period. The results are shown in the table. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean of cholesterol levels has been changed after six weeks at α=0.2α=0.2? Assume that the differences are from an approximately normally distributed population.

If m1 is the frequency at age t1, and m2 is the frequency at age t2, then the yearly rate of increase is estimated by r = (m2 − m1)/(t2 − t1). In a polymerase chain reaction assay, the frequency in 20-year-old men was estimated to be 17.7 ± 1.7 per μgDNA, and the frequency in 40-year-old men was estimated to be 35.9 ± 5.8 per μg DNA. Assume that age is measured with negligible uncertainty.a) Estimate the yearly rate of increase, and find the uncertainty in the estimate.b) Find the relative uncertainty in the estimated rate of increase.arrow_forwardMembers of the millennial generation are continuing to be dependent on their parents (either living with or otherwise receiving support from parents) into early adulthood.

Suppose that a sample of 400 individuals aged 18 to 32 showed that 136 of them continue to be dependent on their parents. In Excel b.

- The operator of a pumping station has observed that demand for water during early afternoon hours has an approximately exponential distribution with mean 100 cfs (cubic feet per second).a) Find the probability that the demand will exceed 200 cfs during the early afternoon on arandomly selected day.b) What water-pumping capacity should the station maintain during early afternoons sothat the probability that demand will exceed capacity on a randomly selected day isonly .01?arrow_forwardConsider the market for pens. Suppose that a new educational study has proven that the practice of writing, erasing, and rewriting improves students' ability to process information, leading parents to steer away from pen use in favor of pencils. Moreover, the price of ink, an important input in pen production, has increased considerably. On the following graph, labeled Scenario 1, indicate the effect these two events have on the demand for and supply of pens. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.
