Total fat content (including saturated fat and trans fats) is a key characteristic of cheese. Assume that for a given type of cheese, total fat content (10-1 g/g of cheese) follows a normal distribution with a population mean of 2.85 (unit) and population variance of 0.01 (unit2). Such an assumption is reasonable because fat content varies inside cheese and the 'errors ' around the mean total fat content (i.e. the value appearing on the etiquette) are distributed like a bell shape. 1) What is the probability that the total fat content of this cheese exceeds 3 (unit)? 2) What is the probability that the total fat content varies from 2.8 to 3 (unit)?

Spray drift is a constant concern for pesticide applicators and agricultural producers. The inverse relationship between droplet size and drift potential is well known. The paper "Effects of 2,4-D Formulation and Quinclorac on Spray Droplet Size and Deposition"+ investigated the effects of herbicide formulation on spray atomization. A figure in a paper suggested the normal distribution with mean 1050 µm and standard deviation 150 µm was a reasonable model for droplet size for water (the "control treatment") sprayed through a 760 ml/min nozzle. USE SALT (a) What is the probability that the size of a single droplet is less than 1380 µm? At least 950 µm? (Round your answers to four decimal places.) less than 1380 μm at least 950 μm (b) What is the probability that the size of a single droplet is between 950 and 1380 µm? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) How would you characterize the smallest 2% of all droplets? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) The smallest 2% of…

a residual is the distance between the data value in the line of best fit true or false?

Suppose the mean and variance of variable X are given respectively by μ = 36.2 and Var(X) =4.2. What is the average of the squared values of variable X?

Our environment is very sensitive to the amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere. The level of ozone normally found is 4.8 parts/million (ppm). A researcher believes that the current ozone level is at an excess level. The mean of 242samples is 5.2 ppm with a variance of 1.001.00. Does the data support the claim at the 0.05 level? Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places. Specify if the test is one-tailed or two-tailed. Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis. Round your answer to three decimal places. Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 46 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that ? = 7.40 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma. (a)Find a 99% confidence interval for the population mean blood plasma volume in male firefighters. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to two decimal places.) lower limit__ upper limit__ margin of error__ (b)What conditions are necessary for your calculations? (Select all that apply.) A-the distribution of volumes is normal B-the distribution of volumes is uniform C-? is unknown D-? is known E-n is large (c)Interpret your results in the context of this problem. A-The probability that this interval…

The weight of cereal boxes (y) follows a normal distributed with a variance of 0.1 squared ounces. If the average is 15.8 ounces, then P(y < 16) = If the average is 16.5 ounces, then P(y > 16.2)

The one in the yellow is the previous tab.

Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 46 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that ? = 7.80 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma. (d) Find the sample size necessary for a 99% confidence level with maximal margin of error E = 2.90 for the mean plasma volume in male firefighters. (Round up to the nearest whole number.) ________ male firefighters
