Certain coins have an average weight of grams with a standard deviation of g. If a vending machine is designed to accept coins whose weights range from g to g, what is the expected number of rejected coins when randomly selected coins are inserted into the machine?
The length of time a particular smartphone's battery lasts follows an exponential distribution with a mean of ten months. A sample of 64 of these smartphones is taken.
Find the IQR for the mean amount of time 64 batteries last.
The mean number of minutes for app engagement by a table use is minutes. Suppose the standard deviation is one minute. Take a sample size of .
a. What is the probability that the sum of the sample is between seven hours and ten hours? What does this mean in context of the problem?
b. Find the and percentiles for the sum of the sample. Interpret these values in context.
Men have an average weight of pounds with a standard deviation of pounds.
a. Find the probability that randomly selected men will have a sum weight greater than lbs.
b. If men have a sum weight greater than lbs, then their total weight exceeds the safety limits for water taxis. Based on (a), is this a safety concern? Explain.
The distribution of income in some Third World countries is considered wedge shaped (many very poor people, very few middle income people, and even fewer wealthy people). Suppose we pick a country with a wedge shaped distribution. Let the average salary be per year with a standard deviation of . We randomly survey residents of that country.
a. In words,
b. In words,
c.
d. How is it possible for the standard deviation to be greater than the average?
e. Why is it more likely that the average of the residents will be from to than from ?
