Emissions of nitrogen oxides, which are major constituents of smog, can be modeled using a normal distribution. Let x denote the amount of this pollutant emitted (in parts per billion) by a randomly selected vehicle. Suppose the distribution of x can be described by a normal distribution with ? = 1.8 and ? = 0.4. A city wants to offer some sort of incentive to get the worst polluters off the road. What emission levels constitute the worst 10% of the vehicles? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Create three normally distributed data sets (mean = 0, SD =1), with 1000 samples each. Then square them, sum them(so that you have 1000 data-points), and create a histogramwith 100 bins. This should be similar to the curve for thechi-square distribution, with 3 DOF
Part B: Binomial Distribution Use the Binomial Distribution calculator at http://stattrek.com/online-calculator/binomial.aspx and take a screenshot for your work unless it is specified that you must use the formula. 8. From past experience it is known that 90% of one-year old children can distinguish their mother's voice from the voice of a similar sounding female. A random sample of 20 one-year olds is given this voice recognition test. a. Find the probability that at least 3 children do not recognize their mother's voice. Answer: b. Find the probability that all 20 children recognize their mother's voice. Answer:
A certain brokerage house wants to estimate the mean daily return on a certain stock. A random sample of 10 days yields the following return percentages. -2.1, -1.77, 0.35 , 2.08, 1.98, 0.08, –2.89,-2.79, -2.48,2.56 Send data to calculator Send data to Excel If we assume that the returns are normally distributed, find a 99% confidence interval for the mean daily return on this stock. Give the lower limit and upper limit of the 99% confidence interval. Carry your intermediàte computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to one decimal place. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) Lower ? limit: Upper limit: O O

The table below shows the weights of seven subjects before and after following a particular diet for two months. B / C / D /E / F /G Subject / A / Before / 153 / 151 / 152 / 153 / 154 / 153 / 152 After / 155 / 150 / 154 / 155 / 151 / 153 / 155 Using a 0.025 level of significance, test the claim that the diet is effective in reducing weight (after minus before is negative). Use the p-value method of hypothesis testing. Enter the p-value. (Round your answer to nearest thousandth.) When using tables to find a tight range for the p-value, enter one of the boundaries of the interval (not 0 or 1) found using the tables.

May is tornado season in Oklahoma. According to the National Weather Service, the Poisson rate of tornados in Oklahoma in May is 0.7 per day, based on data from 1950 to the present. The meteorologist is interested in X= the time (in days) from the start of May until the 3rd tornado to occur. Which distribution is an appropriate model for the distribution of X?

Are people born in certain seasons more likely to be allergic to dust mites? Research suggests this might be true. The table below gives the birth seasons of 500 randomly selected people who are allergic to dust mites, along with the proportion of births in the general population for each season. Do these data provide convincing evidence that the distribution of birth season is different for people who suffer from this allergy? Number of allergy sufferers Proportion of births in general population Birth Season Winter 117 0.30 Spring 105 0.22 Summer 145 0.24 Fall 133 0.24
