During the COVID-19 pandemic, the hospital emergency department at a very busy hospital receives, on average, one patient every 25.1 minutes. The standard deviation of inter-arrival time between two consecutive patients is 9.8 minutes. Calculate the average patients arrival (receiving) rate per day for this hospital emergency service. Note that, the emergency service of this hospital is open 24/7, and one day is equivalent to 24 hours.

1. A state’s Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) claims that 60% of all teens pass their driving test on the
first attempt. An investigative reporter examines an SRS of the DMV records for 125 teens; 56 of them
passed the test on their first try. Is there convincing evidence at the α=0.01 significance level that the
DMV’s claim is lower?

2. In a recent year, 65% of first-year college students responding to a national survey identified “being
very well-off financially” as an important personal goal. A state university finds that 102 of an SRS of
200 of its first-year students say that this goal is important. Is there convincing evidence at
the α=0.05 significance level that the proportion of all first-year students at this university who think
being very well-off is important differs from the national value of 65%?

3. Every road has one at some point—construction zones that have much lower speed limits. To see if
drivers obey these lower speed limits, a police officer uses a radar gun to measure the speed (in miles
per hour, or mph) of a random sample of 10 drivers in a 25 mph construction zone. Here are the data:
27 33 32 21 30 30 29 25 27 34
Is there convincing evidence at the α=0.01 significance level that the average speed of drivers in this
construction zone is greater than the posted speed limit?

4. A school librarian purchases a novel for her library. The publisher claims that the book is written at a fifth-grade reading level, but the librarian suspects that the reading level is lower than that. The librarian selects a random sample of 45 pages and uses a standard readability test to assess the reading level of each page. The mean reading level of these pages is 4.8 with a standard deviation of 0.6. Do these data give convincing evidence at the α=0.01 significance level that the average reading level of this novel is less than 5?

When survey data indicated that a company needed to improve its​ package-sealing process, an experiment was conducted to determine the factors in the​ bag-sealing equipment that might be affecting the ease of opening the bags without tearing the inner liner of the bag. Data were collected on 19 bags and the plate gap on the​ bag-sealing equipment was used to predict the tear rating of a bag. The results are displayed in the accompanying table and the regression equation is the following. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (c).

        “A single link flexible arm is a dynamic system with the first eigenvalue equal to zero and giving the primary rigid body motion and the eigenvalues greater than zero giving flexural vibration that may occur during the response. The object is to drive the arm tip to a constant steady state position in as fast a time as possible while keeping the arm tip vibration to a minimum.”

(A) Develop a bar graph for the number of words with a specific number of letters.

For example, in the phrase “This is an example for the type of words related to this problem”:   3 two letter words, 2 three letter words, 3 four letter words, 1 five letter word, 3 seven letter words.

(B) Calculate the probability density distribution and show it bar form. Use 1 for the transition from probability to probability density which makes these two the same.

(C)    Determine the mean μ and standard deviation σ.

(D)   Use part B result and determine the probability that a word falls between

            μ-σ and μ+σ.

   (E) If the system is modeled with a continuous normal probability distribution, determine the probability that a word falls between 6 and 9 letters.

2. perform 2-way anova with replication

To answer these questions, an experiment was designed using laundry detergent pods. For ten weeks, 160 subjects received information about the products. The factors under consideration were the number of promotions (1, 3, 5, or 7) that were described during this ten‐ week period and the percent that the product was discounted (10%, 20%, 30%, or 40%) off the average non‐promotional price. Ten individuals were randomly assigned to each of the sixteen combinations. The data reflecting what the sub‐ jects would expect to pay for the product (i.e., their reference price) at the end of the 10‐week period. 0.1 significance
