(1) Records of randomly selected births were obtained and categorized according to the day of the week that they occurred. Because babies are unfamiliar with our schedule of weekdays, a reasonable claim is that births occur on the different days with equal frequency. Use a 0.01 significance level to test that claim. Provide an e

Two boxes of light bulbs are in a warehouse. Box 1 contains 95 good bulbs and 5 defective bulbs, while Box 2 contains 90 good and 10 defective bulbs. We choose one of these boxes at random and test 3 bulbs chosen at random from this box, without replacement. If all 3 bulbs are defective, what is the probability that we selected

Set up an appropriate probability space for each experiment first, assuming an ordin
1) A PERT project has 45 activities, 19 of which are on the critical path. The estimated time for the critical path is 120 days. The sum of all activity variances is 64, while the sum of variances along the critical path is 36. The probability that the project can be completed between days 108 and 120 is a) 0 -2.00 b)
A single amoeba is in a pond. Each day, each amoeba present in the pond will die with probability p, will split into two live amoebas with probability q, and will stay alive but not split with probability 1 - p - q. (a) Describe a probability space for this experiment as well as you can. (b) Find the probability that after two
In a game show, a contestant is given a choice of 3 curtains. Behind one curtain is a prize, but the other two curtains conceal a sign saying "Sorry, you lose!". After the contestant chooses a curtain, the host, who knows where the prize is, will always open one of the curtains (not the one chosen by the contestant) to reveal a
The probability that a teenage driver will speed is 0.8; for a twenty-something driver, the probability of speeding is 0.5; for a mature driver, 0.2. Suppose that 15% of drivers are teenagers, 20% are in their twenties, and the rest are mature. If a driver observed at random is found to be speeding, then what is the probability

During cross country pipeline construction, day production rates of more than 120 girth welds are not unusual. On pipe laying barges operating around the clock, production can be as high as 360 welds per day. This implies an average cycle time of some four minutes or less per weld. In the construction of a pipeline, nondestructi
