- In a large high school of 2500 students, 21% of them are seniors. A simple random sample of 150 students is taken and the proportion of seniors is calculated. What are the mean and standard deviation of the sample proportion? Can we use this to calculate probabilities? (That is does it meet the assumptions of the Central Limit Theorem?)

Suppose that the 2021 team budget, say , is randomly drawn from a uniform distribution on the interval , where the unit is U.S. million dollars. In addition, suppose that after the value has been observed , the 2022 team budget, say , is randomly drawn from a uniform distribution on the interval . In other words, the 2022 budget is at most as large as the 2021 budget. a) For any given value of x(50<x<350), obtain E[Y|X=x] b) In view of part (a), obtain E[Y|X] c) Atlanta Braves won the 2021 World Series title.

For this continuous process, in which an error in the address is considered a nonconforming unit, what is the probability that in a sample size of eight, one address or less will be incorrect?arrow_forward
