The police that patrol a heavily traveled highway claim that the average driver exceeds the 65 miles per hour speed limit by more than 10 miles per hour. Seventy-two randomly selected cars were clocked by airplane radar. The average speed of the 72 cars was 77.40 miles per hour, and the standard deviation of these speeds was 5.90 miles per hour. Test a 5% level of significance whether the average speed by all drivers is more than 75 mph. Make sure to show all of your work and include every step.

The manufacturer of an MP3 player wanted to know whether a 10% reduction in price is enough to increase the sales of its product. To investigate, the owner randomly selected eight outlets and sold the MP3 player at the reduced price. At seven randomly selected outlets, the MP3 player was sold at the regular price. Reported below is the number of units sold last month at the regular and reduced prices at the randomly selected outlets. Regular price 138 124 89 112 116 123 98 Reduced price 124 134 154 135 118 126 133 132 Click here for the Excel Data File . At the 0.025 significance level, can the manufacturer conclude that the price reduction resulted in an increase in sales? Hint: For the calculations, assume reduced price as the first sample.

An agency offers preparation courses for a graduate school admissions test to students. As part of an experiment to evaluate the merits of the course, 40 students were chosen and divided into 20 pairs in such a way that the members of any pair had similar academic records. Before taking the test, one member of each pair was assigned at random to take the preparation course, while the other member did not take a course. The achievement test scores are contained in the accompanying table. Assuming that the differences in scores follow a normal distribution, test at the
1010%
level, the null hypothesis that the two population means are equal against the alternative that the true mean is higher for students taking the preparation course.
Let

I am trying to figure out the probability, expected value, variance, and standard deviation for a series of dice rolls. For example, if I roll a six-sided die in an attempt to roll a 1, and it takes me 7 rolls before a 1 appears, what are those answers? I have figured out the probability equation:
P(P-1)^x where x is the number of rolls - 1 so for 7 rolls the probability would be: 1/6(1-1/6)^6 = 0.05581632...
Further where I am lost is taking the above and using it to find the Expected Value, Variance, and Standard Deviation?
As I see the equations but plugging in numbers has me lost as p is the probability of failure and x = 0,1,2,3 for geometric distribution it would be
E(X)= (1-p)/p .... this is where I am lost as failure is 5/6 not 1/6 correct? Please show example of this so I can better understand, also on Variance, and Standard Deviation?

The town of Charlotte recently started a single-stream recycling program. The town provided 60-gallon recycling bins to 25 randomly selected households and 75-gallon recycling bins to 22 randomly selected households. The total volume of recycling over a 10-week period was measured for each of the households. The average total volumes were 382 and 415 gallons for the households with the 60- and 75-gallon bins, respectively. The sample standard deviations were 52.5 and 43.8 gallons, respectively. Assume that the 10-week total volumes of recycling are approximately normally distributed for both groups and that the population standard deviations are equal. Using a test statistic of -2.321 and a 2% significance level, can you conclude that the average 10-week recycling volume of all households having 60-gallon containers is different from the average volume of all households that have 75-gallon containers?
Then reconsider the town of Charlotte's recycling program. If we assume that the population standard deviations are different, we will have a test statistic of -2.348. We will also now have 44 degrees of freedom. Re-test the hypothesis given these calculations.
These are sample two population t-tests. Please show ALL the work up to the answers.
