Fruit flies, like almost all other living organisms, have built-in circadian rhythms that keep time even in the absence of external stimuli. Several genes have been shown to be involved in internal timekeeping, including per (period) and tim (timeless). Mutations in these two genes, and in other genes, disrupt timekeeping abilities. Interestingly, these genes have also been shown to be involved in other time-related behavior, such as the frequency of wingbeats in male courtship behaviors. Individuals that carry particular mutations of per and tim have been shown to copulate for longer than individuals that have neither mutation. But do these two mutations affect copulation time in similar ways? The following table summarizes some data on the duration of copulation for flies that carry either the tim mutation or the per mutation (Beaver and Giebultowicz 2004):
Mutation | Mean copulation duration (min) | Standard deviation of copulation duration | Sample size, n |
per | 17.5 | 3.37 | 14 |
tim | 19.9 | 2.47 | 17 |
b) Do the populations carrying these mutations have different variances in copulation duration? Enter the calculated F-value.
c) Do the populations carrying these mutations have different variances in copulation duration? Finish this hypothesis test and describe your conclusion.

Problem Binomial Distribution: A consumer advocate claims that 80 percent of cable television subscribers are not satisfied with their cable service. In an attempt to justify this claim, a randomly selected sample of cable subscribers will be polled on this issue.
Suppose that the advocate’s claim is true, and suppose that a random sample of 25 cable subscribers is selected. Assuming independence, find:
(2) The probability that more than 20 subscribers in the sample are not satisfied with their service. Minitab instructions: Go to Calc > select Probability Distributions > select Binomial > select Cumulative probability > Number of Trials insert 25 > Event Probability insert “.8” > Input Constant insert “20.” Click OK.Paste your Minitab results here and then show your work to calculate P(x > 20) = 1 – P(x ≤ 20) to get your final answer:
(3) The probability that between 20 and 24 (inclusive) subscribers in the sample are not satisfied with their service.
(A) Miniab instructions: Go to Calc > select Probability Distributions > select Binomial > select Cumulative probability > Number of Trials insert 25 > Event Probability insert “.8” > Input Constant insert “19.” Click OK.
(B) Minitab instructions: Go to Calc > select Probability Distributions > select Binomial > select Cumulative probability > Number of Trials insert 25 > Event Probability insert “.8” > Input Constant insert “24.” Click OK. Paste each of your Minitab results here and then show your work to calculate P(20 ≤ x ≤ 24) = P( x≤ 24) – P(x≤ 19) to get your final answer:
(4) The probability that exactly 24 subscribers in the sample are not satisfied with their service.Paste your Minitab results here:
c) Suppose that when we survey 25 randomly selected cable television subscribers, we find that 15 are actually not satisfied with their service. Using a probability you found in this exercise as the basis for your answer, do you believe the consumer advocate’s claim? Explain your answer here:

3. A professional football team is preparing its budget for the next year. One component of the budget is the revenue that they can expect from ticket sales. The home venue, Dylan Stadium, has five different seating zones with different prices. Key information is given below. The demands are all assumed to be normally distributed.
Seating Zone Seats available Ticket price Mean Demand Standard Deviation
First Level Sideline 15,000 $100.00 14,500 750
Second Level 5,000 $90.00 4,750 500
First Level End Zone 10,000 $80.00 9,000 1250
Third Level Sideline 21000 $70.00 17,000 2500
Third Level End Zone 14000 $60.00 8,000 3000
Determine the distribution of total revenue under these assumptions using an Excel data table with 50 simulated trials. Summarize your results with a histogram.

a) Calculate the 3rd quartile.
b) Solve for the probability that a randomly selected electric bike is driven at most 15,000 km per year, and then solve for the probability that a randomly selected electric bike is driven between 10,000 and 20,000 km per year.
