Radon is a gas emitted from the ground that can collect in houses in buildings. At certain levels it can cause lung cancer. Radon concentrations are measured in picocuries per liter (pCi/L). A radon level of 4 pCi/L is considered “acceptable” Radon levels in a house vary from week to week. In one house, a sample of 6 weeks had the following readings for radon level (in pCi/L):
1.9 2.8 3.9 3.9 4.2 5.7
Find the variance and standard deviation (definitional formula). Show your work using a table.
When you post a picture on social media, it seems like
your friends randomly "like" the picture. Independent
of the quality or the humor of the photo, there seems
to be a 15.7% chance of the picture being "liked" for
any given picture.
Let X represent the number of pictures you post until
one is "liked." (X represents the photo number that is
actually liked.) Find:

A physician wants to see if there was a difference in the average smokers' daily cigarette consumption after wearing a nicotine patch. The physician set up a study to track daily smoking consumption. In the study, the patients were given a placebo patch that did not contain nicotine for 4 weeks, then a nicotine patch for the following 4 weeks. Test to see if there was a difference in the average smoker's daily cigarette consumption using α = 0.01. The hypotheses are:
