Suppose x has a distribution with μ = 22 and σ = 20. (a) If a random sample of size n = 37 is drawn, find μx, σ x and P(22 ≤ x ≤ 24). (Round σx to two decimal places and the probability to four decimal places.) μx = σ x = P(22 ≤ x ≤ 24) = (b) If a random sample of size n = 59 is drawn, find μx, σ x and P(22 ≤ x ≤ 24). (Round σ x to two decimal places and the probability to four decimal places.) μx = σ x = P(22 ≤ x ≤ 24) = (c) Why should you expect the probability of part (b) to be higher than that of part (a)? (Hint: Consider the standard deviations in parts (a) and (b).) The standard deviation of part (b) is part (a) because of the sample size. Therefore, the distribution about μx is .

this is the data for these set of questions . thank you very much please clearly represent The answer
1.)A plant species is being studied for the presence of cadmium and nickel levels near a former industrial waste site. Specifically, a researcher would like to know if distance to the industrial waste site is a predictor of Cadmium levels in the plant species. Perform the appropriate analysis using the Question 14 dataset in the Excel file. We can assume assumptions of test have been met. What is the slope of the equation from your analysis of the data? Use one of the following formats -9.999 or 9.999 depending on which is appropriate.
2.)You decide see how the addition of a second independent variable influences the results of the analysis from Question 14 (Cadmium vs. Distance and Angle). You add to the analysis the direction the plants were located in reference to the industrial waste site. The data is in the Angle column and represents the degrees off of magnetic north to where the plants were located. What is the p value from the analysis for Angle? Use the 0.999 format.
3.)For Question 14, the researcher would now like to know if there is a difference in mean Cadmium and Nickel concentrations in the plant species under investigation with both distance and angle from the industrial waste site. What kind of analysis should the research run?
4.)The researcher believes that there is a relationship between concentrations of Cadmium and Nickel. Run the appropriate analysis using the dataset for Question 14 in the Excel file and report on the r value.

Example 1
A pharmaceutical manufacturer does a chemical analysis to check the
potency of products. The standard release potency for cephalothin
crystals is 910. An assay of 16 lots gives the following potency
data:
897 914 913 906 916 918 905 921 918 906 895 893 908 906 907 901
Assume the population standard deviation is 8 units. Test the hypothesis that the population mean potency is different from the standard release potency.

Data from the past shows that on average, a ready-mixed concrete plant receives 100 orders for concrete every year. The maximum number of orders that the plant can fulfil each week is 2. (a) What is the probability that in a given week the plant cannot fulfil all the placed orders? (b) Assume the answer to part (a) is 20% (It is not; I just want to make sure that everybody uses the same number for part (b)). Suppose there are 5 of such plants. What is the probability that in a given week 2 of the plants cannot fulfill their orders?

In a study of 794 randomly selected medical malpractice lawsuits, it was found that 517 of them were dropped or dismissed. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.
In a study of cell phone usage and brain hemispheric dominance, an Internet survey was e-mailed to 6993 subjects randomly selected from an online group involved with ears. There were 1343 surveys returned. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the return rate is less than 20%. Use the P-value method and use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution.
Consider a drug testing company that provides a test for marijuana usage. Among 319 tested subjects, results from 27 subjects were wrong (either a false positive or a false negative). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that less than 10 percent of the test results are wrong.

Suppose you have a STAT class from 8:30–9:30 and an ECON class from 9:30–10:30. Assuming you arrive to school at 8:30 with zero text messages on your cell phone and you receive 6 texts every 45 minutes on average, find the following probabilities.
a)Based on the information above, find the probability that you receive at least 3 texts during your STAT class. N.B. I suggest you find these in R studio.
b)find the probability that you receive exactly 3 texts during your STAT and exactly 3 texts during ECON. I suggest you find these in R.
c)find the probability that you receive your 10th text during ECON.

A company claims that a new manufacturing process changes the mean amount of aluminum needed for cans and therefore changes the weight. Independent random samples of aluminum cans made by the old process and the new process are taken. The summary statistics are given below. Is there evidence at the 5% significance level (or 95% confidence level) to support the claim that the mean weight for all old cans is different than the mean weight for all new cans? Justify fully!
The Old process had a sample of size 25 with a mean of 0.504 and standard deviation of 0.019. The New process had a sample of size 25 with a mean of 0.495 and standard deviation of 0.021.

A company sells its product line in traditional brick and mortar stores as well an online store site. Historically, 42% of all company sales took place through its online store site. Due to recent budget cuts, the company has had to cut back on advertising expenditures that promote the online store site. You would like to determine if there has been a DECREASE in the proportion of sales coming from the online store site since the time you reduced your advertising expenditures. Therefore, the null and alternative hypotheses are:
H0: proportion of online sales ≥ 42% (no decrease in online sales proportion)
H1: proportion of online sales < 42% (decrease in online sales proportion)
You take a sample of 84 days and record what proportion of sales were online and what proportion were offline (in a traditional brick and mortar store). You utilize Minitab to create the analytics. The Minitab output is shown below.
Test and CI for One Proportion: ONLINE/OFFLINE

What is your favorite color? A large survey of countries, including the United States, China, Russia, France, Turkey, Kenya, and others, indicated that most people prefer the color blue. In fact, about 24% of the population claim blue as their favorite color.† Suppose a random sample of n = 60 college students were surveyed and r = 11 of them said that blue is their favorite color. Does this information imply that the color preference of all college students is different (either way) from that of the general population? Use α = 0.05.
