Weight of goods shipped in containers of a certain size is anormally distributed random variable. It is known that 62% of thecontainers have a net weight above 4.3 tons, and 59% of the containershave a net weight of less than 5.7 tons. Find the mean and standarddeviation of the net weight of the containers.

The Australian sheep dog is a breed renowned for its intelligence and work ethic. It is estimated that 30% of adult Australian sheep dogs weigh 65 pounds (lbs) or more. A sample of 40 adult dogs is studied and follows a binomial distribution. Let X be a binomial random variable that represents the number of adult dogs in the sample who weigh 65 lb or more. a. Find the mean number of dogs in this sample who weigh 65 lb or more. Mean = b. Find the standard deviation of the number of dogs in the sample who weigh 65 lb or more. Round to three places. Standard deviation =
The average growth of a certain kind of tree is 1.63 inches in three years. A biologist claims that a new kind will have greater three-year growth. A random sample of 25 of the new variety has an average three-year growth of 3.56 inches and a variance of 11.77 inches. The test statistic is: (write only the number in the blank round it to 4 decimal points if needed) Answer: Next page
A union of restaurant and foodservice workers would like to estimate the mean hourly wage, μ, of foodservice workers in the U.S. this year The mean hourly wage last year was $8.08, and there is good reason to believe that this year's value is different from last year's. The union decides to do a statistical test to see if the value has indeed changed. The union chooses a random sample of this year's wages, computes the mean of the sample to be $7.78, and computes the standard deviation of the sample to be $1.10. Based on this information, complete the parts below. (a) What are the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative hypothesis H₁ that should be used for the test? μ X OSO O>0 H₂ : O H₁ :0 0=0 0#0 (b) Suppose that the union decides to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might it be making? (Choose one) ▼ (c) Suppose the true mean hourly wage for foodservice workers in the U.S. this year is $8.08.

The weight of goods shipped in containers of a certain size is a normally distributed random variable. It is known that 65% of the containers have a net weight above 4,98 tons, and 45% of containers net weight above 5,2 tons. Find the mean and standard deviation of the net weight containers.
The length of an injection-molded plastic case that holds magnetic tape is normally distributed with a length of 90.3 millimeters and a variance of 0.01 millimeter2. What is the probability that a part is longer than 90.5 millimeters or shorter than 89.6 millimeters?
Suppose the number of off springs a female eagle raises during its lifetime has a distribution with mean 15 and variance 4. In an area, 45 rescued and cured female eagles are set free. If these eagles are assumed to be independent (no lack of male partners and food resources), the total number of off-springs produced by these eagles can be assumed to have a Normal distribution with mean and variance
