Suppose certain coins have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 5.629 g and a standard deviation of 0.056 g. A vending machine is configured to accept those coins with weights between 5.559 g and 5.699 g.
b. If 280 different coins are inserted into the vending machine, what is the probability that the mean falls between the limits of 5.559 g and 5.699 g?
The probability is approximately ? (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

The monthly absolute estimate of global (land and ocean combined) temperature indexes (degrees C ) in 2000 and 2001 are: 2000: 12.28, 12.63, 13.22, 14.21, 15.13, 15.82, 16.05, 16.02, 15.29, 14.29, 13.16, 12.47

Assume that human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of
98.19°F
and a standard deviation of
0.63°F.
a. A hospital uses
100.6°F
as the lowest temperature considered to be a fever. What percentage of normal and healthy persons would be considered to have a fever? Does this percentage suggest that a cutoff of
100.6°F
is appropriate?
b. Physicians want to select a minimum temperature for requiring further medical tests. What should that temperature be, if we want only 5.0% of healthy people to exceed it? (Such a result is a false positive, meaning that the test result is positive, but the subject is not really sick.)
a. The percentage of normal and healthy persons considered to have a fever is
nothing%.
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Does this percentage suggest that a cutoff of
100.6°F
is appropriate?
A.
No, because there is a large probability that a normal and healthy person would be considered to have a fever.
B.
No, because there is a small probability that a normal and healthy person would be considered to have a fever.
C.
Yes, because there is a large probability that a normal and healthy person would be considered to have a fever.
D.
Yes, because there is a small probability that a normal and healthy person would be considered to have a fever.
b. The minimum temperature for requiring further medical tests should be
nothingdegrees Upper F°F
if we want only 5.0% of healthy people to exceed it.

Fewer young people are driving. In year A, 62.9% of people under 20 years old who were eligible had a driver's license. Twenty years later in year B that percentage had dropped to 46.7%. Suppose these results are based on a random sample of 1,300 people under 20 years old who were eligible to have a driver's license in year A and again in year B.
(a) At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error of the number of eligible people under 20 years old who had a driver's license in year A? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
At 95% confidence, what is the interval estimate of the number of eligible people under 20 years old who had a driver's license in year A? (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
(b) At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error of the number of eligible people under 20 years old who had a driver's license in year B? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
At 95% confidence, what is the interval estimate of the number of eligible people under 20 years old who had a driver's license in year B? (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
(c) Is the margin of error the same in parts (a) and (b)? Why or why not?
The margin of error in part (a) is (smaller/larger) than the margin of error in part (b). This is because the sample proportion of eligible people under 20 years old who had a driver's license in year B is (closer to 0/closer to 0.5/ closer to 1) than the sample proportion of eligible people under 20 years old who had a driver's license in year A. This leads to a (smaller/larger) interval estimate in part (b).

The presidential election is coming. Five survey companies (A, B, C, D, and E) are doing survey to forecast whether or not the Republican candidate will win the election. Each company randomly selects a sample size between 1000 and 1500 people. All of these five companies interview people over the phone during Tuesday and Wednesday. The interviewee will be asked if he or she is 18 years old or above and U.S. citizen who are registered to vote. If yes, the interviewee will be further asked: will you vote for the Republican candidate? On Thursday morning, these five companies announce their survey sample and results at the same time on the newspapers. The results show that a% (from A), b% (from B), c% (from C), d% (from D), and e% (from E) will support the Republican candidate. The margin of error is plus/minus 3% for all results. Suppose that c > a > d > e > b. When you see these results from the newspapers, can you exactly identify which result(s) is (are) not reliable and not accurate? That is, can you identify which estimation interval(s) does (do) not include the true population proportion? If you can, explain why you can; if no, explain why you cannot and what information you need to identify. Discuss and explain your reasons. You must provide your statistical analysis and reasons.

: A production system has three production machines. Machine A consists one component with constant failure rate of 0.000512 failures per day. Machine B consists of two components; this machine works if one or more of its components work; each one of these components has constant failure rate of 0.000725 and 0.000618 failures per day respectively. The third production machine consists of two components; the production in this machine stops if any of these two components stop; and one of these two components has a constant failure rate of 0.000408 failures per days. If any one of the system's production machine fails, the whole system will come to a complete halt. If the probability that this production system will fail before 100 days of running time is 10%; calculate the following:
1. Draw the system network, and then find the constant failure rate of the second component of the third machine.
2. Mean time to failure of the system.
