Suppose that the mean weight of newborn babies is normally distributed with a mean of 6.9 pounds and a standard deviation of 0.8 pound. A developmental psychologist wants to test whether newborn babies of mothers who use drugs during pregnancy differ in weight from the average baby. The psychologist takes a random sample of 30 mothers who used drugs during pregnancy and computes the mean birth weight of these mothers’ babies. This sample of 30 mothers has a sample mean...

Suppose that in the Akerlof example, there are only seven cars with quality levels 0.5; 0.75; 1; 1.25; 1.5; 1.75; 2 (i.e., there is no complete lemon). Assume sellers are fully informed about each car's quality and buyers only know the average quality of cars. If the sellers have a reservation price of $5000 per unit of quality, and the buyers value cars at $7500 per unit of quality. Determine whether the market disappears completely, and, if not, how many...

A randomly selected freshman takes English with probability 0.7, takes Math with probability 0.5, and takes either English or Math with probability 0.8. What is the probability of taking both English and Math? Two mutually exclusive events A and B have P(A) = 0.2, P(B) = 0.3. Find P (A or B). Two independent events A and B have P(A) = 0.2, P(B) = 0.3. Find P (A or B). If P (A | B) = 0.8 and P(B) =...

One factor in rating a National Hockey League team is the mean weight of its players. A random sample of players from the Detroit Red Wings was obtained. The weight (in pounds) of each player was carefully measured, and the resulting data have a sample size of 18 with a sample mean of 205 pounds and a sample standard deviation of 11.6 pounds. You can assume that all of the assumptions are met. a) What are the assumptions that are...

One factor in rating a National Hockey League team is the mean weight of its players. A random sample of players from the Detroit Red Wings was obtained. The weight (in pounds) of each player was carefully measured, and the resulting data have a sample size of 16 with a sample mean of 202 pounds and a sample standard deviation of 11.6 pounds. Assume that the distribution of the weights is normal. Please use 4 decimal places for all critical...
