A 10-year study conducted by the American Heart Association provided data on how age, blood pressure, and smoking relate to the risk of strokes. Data from a portion of this study follow. Risk is interpreted as the probability (times 100) that a person will have a stroke over the next 10-year period. For the smoker variable, 1 indicates a smoker and 0 indicates a nonsmoker.

You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. The increasing annual cost (including tuition, room, board, books, and fees) to attend college has been widely discussed (Time.com). The following random samples show the annual cost of attending private and public colleges. Data are in thousands of dollars.

The price of a share of stock divided by the company's estimated future earnings per share is called the P/E ratio. High P/E ratios usually indicate "growth" stocks, or maybe stocks that are simply overpriced. Low P/E ratios indicate "value" stocks or bargain stocks. A random sample of 51 of the largest companies in the United States gave the following P/E ratiost. 9 20 11 35 19 13 15 21 29 53 16 26 21 14 21 27 10 12 47 14 40 18 60 72 33 14 8 49 5 16 8 19 12 31 67 51 26 18 17 20 19 13 25 23 27 44 20 27 19 18 32 (a) Use a calculator with mean and sample standard deviation keys to find the sample mean x and sample standard deviation s.

The figure below represents the data from Table 3.6 in the book. It summarizes the lengths of hospital stays (days) for a sample 25 patients. Duration of hospitalization (days) 6. 1. 01-05 06-10 11-15 16-20 >20 What is the probability that someone stayed in the hospital at most 10 days? None of these choices are correct.

Does it seem to you that people tend to be absent more on some days of the week than on others? Recently, a major biotechnology firm collected data with the hope of determining whether or not its employees were more likely to be absent on some weekdays than on others. The firm examined a random sample of 130 employee absences. The distribution of these 130 absences is shown in the table below. The observed frequency for each category (each weekday) is shown in the first row of numbers. The second row of numbers contains the frequencies expected for a sample of 130 employees if employee absences at the firm are equally likely on each of the five weekdays. The bottom row of numbers contains the following value for each of the categories.

Radio frequency identification​ (RFID) is an electronic scanning technology that can be used to identify items in a number of ways. One advantage of RFID is that it can eliminate the need to manually count​ inventory, which can help improve inventory management. The technology is not​ infallible, however, and sometimes errors occur when items are scanned. The probability that a scanning error occurs is 0.0069. 1. Find the probability that the number of items scanned incorrectly is between 16 and 20 ​, ​inclusive, from the next 5100 items scanned. *Kindly explain the procedure in Excel for this* A) The probability is (Round to four decimal places as​ needed.) 2. Find the expected number of items incorrectly from the next 5100 items B) The probability is (Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)
