Let x represent the dollar amount spend on supermarket impulse buying in a 10-minute unplanned shopping interval. The mean of this distribution is µ=$25 and the standard deviation is =$10. If we assume the x distribution is approximately normal: (1) What is the probability that a randomly selected shopper will spend between $18 and $22? (1) Consider a random sample of n = 100 shoppers. What is the probability that is between $18 and $22? (2) State two different ways we know the distribution from part (b) is normally distributed.
Let the random variable x have a normal distribution with a mean value of 70 and a varience of 25. Then find the probability that P (x<80)
The weights of all the turkeys sold in Fairfax County in 2020 were recorded in the data set “Fairfax Turkey Weights” found in the table with the column labeled "Weight". The weights are presented in pounds. There are 235,428 turkeys in this population. Does the mean calculated in the table with the column labeled "Sample (Weight)" come from a sampling distribution that is approximately Normal? Check all three conditions of the Central Limit Theorem using one complete sentence for each condition to answer this question.

Let X be a random variable that represents the level of glucose in the blood (milligrams per deciliter of blood). The distribution of X for a healthy person is normally distributed with men u = 85 and standard deviation o = 25. A person suffers from severe excess in insulin would have a lower level of glucose. A blood test with result of X < 40 would be used as an indicator that medication is needed. (a) What is the probability that a healthy person will be suggested with medication after a single test? (b) A doctor uses the average result of 2 tests for diagnosis, that is X. The second test will be conducted one week after the first test, so that the two test results are independent. For many healthy persons, each has finished two tests, find the expectation and standard error of the distribution of X. (c) The doctor suggests medication will be given only when the average level of glucoses in the 2 blood tests is less than 40, that is X < 40, so to reduce the chance of…
The length of eels (in cm) in a river may be assumed to be normally distributed with a mean of µ = 42 and a standard deviation of o = 6. An angler catches an eel from a river. Let: X = the length (in cm) of an eel a) If the normal length of eels is between 30 cm and 45 cm, what percentage of eels fall within this normal range?

1 (a) Discuss the two expressions -x;- )² and E(x;- )², both of which are used (n-1) i=1 to measure the spread of a set of observations x1, x2, . .., X. (b) A random sample of n observations is taken from a distribution; the sum of the observations is t, and the sum of the squares of the observations is 12. Explain how to estimate the mean and the variance of the distribution from which the random sample was taken. (c) Given the random sample described in part (b), write down expressions (based on 11 and t2) for estimates of the mean and variance of the mean of a further, independent, random sample of size m , from the original distribution. (d) Given that n = 25, 1, = 400 and t2 = 8800, construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean of the distribution, and use it to test whether or not this mean could be 20.
