Bear weight loss during hibernation is extreme. Male black bears will typically drop between 12 to 32 percent of their body weight. Let x represent the percent of body weight loss for a male black bear. Suppose that x follow a uniform distribution, find the probability that a male  will lose between  20 and 24 percent of their body weight.

Yoonie is a personnel manager in a large corporation. Each month she must review 16 of the employees. From past experience, she has found that the reviews take her approximately four hours each to do with a population standard deviation of 1.2 hours. Let Χ be the random variable representing the time it takes her to complete one review. Assume Χ is normally distributed. Let x¯x¯ be the random variable representing the mean time to complete the 16 reviews. Assume that the 16 reviews represent a random set of reviews. What causes the probabilities in Exercise 7.3 and Exercise 7.4 to be different?

A pharmaceutical company makes tranquilizers. It is assumed that the distribution for the length of time they last is approximately normal. Researchers in a hospital used the drug on a random sample of nine patients. The effectiveness periods of the tranquilizer for each patient (in hours) were as follows: 2.7, 2.8, 3.0, 2.3, 2.3, 2.2, 2.8, 2.1and 2.4. If the error bound is 0.2444, then the level of confidence interval of the mean is: None of the other options 0.99 0.98 0.95

Yoonie is a personnel manager in a large corporation. Each month she must review  10  of the employees. From past experience, she has found that the reviews take her approximately  4  hours each to do with a population standard deviation of  1.1  hours. Let  X  be the random variable representing the time it takes her to complete one review. Assume  X  is normally distributed. Let  X¯¯¯  be the random variable representing the mean time to complete the  10  reviews. Assume that the  10  reviews represent a random set of reviews. (a) What is the mean, standard deviation, and sample size? Mean = Standard Deviation = Sample Size = (b) Complete the distributions. Round all decimals to four decimal places.
