The average age of cars owned by residents of a small city is 6
years with a standard deviation of 2.2 years. A simple
random sample of 400 cars is to be selected, and the sample mean
age of these cars is to be computed. What is
the probability that the average age of the 400 cars is
more than 6.1 years? Show all main steps of your calculation. (No
points will be given to an answer of only a final number provided
even...
) Consider the following values representing the age of group of
31 adults: 75, 90, 60, 95, 85, 84, 76, 74, 92, 62, 83, 80, 90, 65,
72, 79, 36, 78, 65, 98, 70, 88, 99, 60, 82, 65, 79, 76, 80, 52,
75
a) Create a five-number summary for these ages.
b) Create a boxplot using the five-number summary from part
(a).
Suppose approximately 75% of all marketing personnel are
extroverts, whereas about 60% of all computer programmers are
introverts. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
At a meeting of 15 marketing personnel, what is the probability
that 10 or more are extroverts?
What is the probability that 5 or more are extroverts?
What is the probability that all are extroverts?
(b) In a group of 5 computer programmers, what is the
probability that none are introverts?
What is the probability...

In a sample of 400 Americans over age 21, 75% said that they
drank alcoholic beverages. What is 98% confidence interval of the
true proportion of all Americans who drink alcoholic beverages?
A recent survey of 550 residents in large city indicated that
65% of the residents had health
insurance. Suppose that it is indeed true that 65% of the
people have health insurance. The
sampling distribution for the proportion of people with health
insurance is approximately normal
with mean 0.65 and standard deviation 0.02.
What is the probability the sample proportion will be greater
than 0.68?

A buffet restaurant is considering offering a discounted price
to senior citizens over age 60. The firm knows the elasticity of
demand for senior citizens is -4 while the elasticity of demand for
younger customers is -2. The marginal cost of a buffet meal is
$7.5.What price should the restaurant charge older customers?What price should the restaurant charge younger customers?
A sample of 200 voters over the age of 60 were asked whether
they thought Social Security benefits should be increased for
people over the age of 65. A total of 95 of them answered yes. A
sample of 150 voters aged 18–25 were asked the same question and 63
of them answered yes. A pollster wants to know whether the
proportion of voters who support an increase in Social Security
benefits is greater among older voters. He will use...
