Question 7 A retail outlet finds from historic data that it sells an average of 220 copies of a newspaper daily; this figure comes with a standard deviation of 35 units. The sales figures can be approximated to a normal distribution. If the retail outlet wishes to cater to 98% of possible daily demand, how many copies should it stock? If it wishes to cater to 45% of the possible daily demand, how many copies should it stock?

he effectiveness of a blood-pressure drug is being investigated. An experimenter finds that, on average, the reduction in systolic blood pressure is 43 for a sample of size 10 and standard deviation 18. Estimate how much the drug will lower a typical patient's systolic blood pressure (using a 95% confidence level). Give your answers to one decimal place and provide the point estimate with its margin of error. ___ ±____

Question 3 If a 8 kg mass, moving at 7 m/s to the right, hits and sticks to a 18 kg mass, moving at 20 m/s to the right, and they travel off together at the same speed to the right, find that speed. Hint: both masses are moving to the right, so both velocities are positive. Use the "hit and stick" or inelastic formula Question 4 If a 11 kg mass, moving at 7 m/s to the right, hits...

(Question 8) 2 pts A process is normally distributed with a mean of 10.2 hits per minute and a standard deviation of 1.04 hits. If a randomly selected minute has 13.9 hits, would the process be considered in control or out of control? Out of control as this one data point is more than three standard deviations from the mean In control as only one data point would be outside the allowable range In control as this one data point...
