The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) found that the proportion of young adults ages 20–39 who regularly skip eating breakfast is 0.2380.238. Suppose that Lance, a nutritionist, surveys the dietary habits of a random sample of size ?=500n=500 of young adults ages 20–39 in the United States. Apply the central limit theorem  to find the probability that the number of individuals, ?,X, in Lance's sample who regularly skip breakfast is greater than 126126. You may find table of critical values helpful. Express the result as a decimal precise to three places. Then, Apply the central limit theorem for the binomial distribution to find the probability that the number of individuals in Lance's sample who regularly skip breakfast is less than 9898. Express the result as a decimal precise to three places.

According to a poll of adults, about 43% work during their summer vacation. Assume that the true proportion of all adults that work during summer vacation is p=0.43. Now consider a random sample of 400 adults. Complete parts a and b below. IN a. What is the probability that between 36% and 50% of the sampled adults work during summer vacation? The probability is. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) b. What is the probability that over 55% of the sampled adults work during summer vacation? The probability is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) 4

The mileage (in 1,000s of miles) that car owners get with a certain kind of radial tire is a random variable having an exponential distribution with a mean of 50. a. What is the probability that a tire will last at most 40,000 miles? b. What is the probability that a tire will last at least 65,000 miles? c. What is the probability that a tire will last between 70,000 and 80,000 miles?

The state of California has a mean annual rainfall of 19 inches, whereas the state of New York has a mean annual rainfall of 48 inches (Current Results website, October 27, 2012). Assume that the standard deviation for both states is 4 inches. A sample of 30 years of rainfall for California and a sample of 45 years of rainfall for New York has been taken. a. Show the probability distribution of the sample mean annual rainfall for California. This is a normal probability distribution with and (to decimals). b. What is the probability that the sample mean is within inch of the population mean for California? (to decimals) c. What is the probability that the sample mean is within inch of the population mean for New York? (to decimals) d. In which case, part (b) or part (c), is the probability of obtaining a sample mean within inch of the population mean greater? Why? The probability of being within inch is greater because the sample size is .

Dandelions are studied for their effects on crop production and lawn growth. In one region, the mean number of dandelions per square meter was found to be 5.3. Find the probahility of no dandelions in an area of 1m². P(x=0)= Find the probability of at least one dandelion in an area of 1m². at least one

wendy’s restaurant has been recognized for having the fastest average service time amongfast food restaurants. In a benchmark study, wendy’s average service time of 2.2 minuteswas less than those of Burger King, Chick­fil­A, Krystal, McDonald’s, Taco Bell, andTaco John’s (QSR Magazine website, December 2014). Assume that the service time forwendy’s has an exponential distribution.a. what is the probability that a service time is less than or equal to one minute?b. what is the probability that a service time is between 30 seconds and one minute?

Suppose a car manufacturer believes its windscreen wipers will last on average for three years on their cars if driven by a typical driver in the province. Moreover, the manufacturer believes the lifetime of the wipers under such conditions is Normally distributed with a standard deviation of two years. Find the probability that, if on a car driven by a typical driver, a windscreen wiper lasts for a time that is not within 1.3 years of the mean lifetime. The probability is:

The level of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and nonmethane organic gas (NMOG) in the exhaust over the useful life (150,000150,000 miles of driving) of cars of a particular model varies Normally with mean 8080 mg/mi and standard deviation 66 mg/mi. A company has 1616 cars of this model in its fleet. Using Table A, find the level ?L such that the probability that the average NOX + NMOG level ?¯x¯ for the fleet greater than ?L is only 0.030.03 ? (Enter your answer rounded to three decimal places. If you are using CrunchIt, adjust the default precision under Preferences as necessary. See the instructional video on how to adjust precision settings.)

The average amount of time until a car accident on a particular 60 mile stretch of road is 30 minutes. Assume(unreasonably) that car accidents are independent, the time to a car accident is exponentially distributed, and that two accidents cannot occur at the same time. a. What is the probability of a car accident occurring in the first hour?b. What is the probability of a car accident occurring between 15 and 45 minutes? c. What is the variance of the time until a car accident occurs? If a car accident has not happened in 2 hours, what is the probability it will happen in the next hour?   DO NOT USE THE INTEGRATION METHOD PLEASE.
