a.) Viscosity measurements for a certain petroleum fraction can be modelled using a normal distribution with a mean of 41 and a standard deviation of 7. The 99th percentile of this distribution is

b.) Suppose X has a normal distribution with mean 3 and standard deviation 1. The 95th percentile of this distribution is

Group of answer choices

c.) United Airlines Flight 433 is a nonstop flight from Boston’s Logan airport to San Francisco International Airport. An important factor in scheduling such flights is the actual airborne flying time from takeoff to touchdown. Suppose the airborne flying time is distributed as normal with mean 370 minutes and standard deviation 16 minutes. 31 records of the times (in minutes) that it takes flight 433 to fly from Boston’s Logan airport to San Francisco International Airport are randomly selected from the 2016 database. What is the sampling distribution of the average airborne flying time?

The time needed for college students to complete a certain puzzle is modelled using a normal distribution with a mean of 30 seconds and a standard deviation of 3 seconds. You wish to see if the population mean time µ is changed by vigorous exercise, so you have a group of nine college students exercise vigorously for 30 minutes and then complete the puzzle. What is the rejection region at the significance level 0.01? What is the power of the...

The daily rainfall in Japan (measured in millimeters) is modelled using a gamma distribution with parameters...

The daily rainfall in Japan (measured in millimeters) is modelled using a gamma distribution with parameters α = 0.8 and β = 0.4. Consider the overall rainfall in 365 days, and use mgfs and their properties to prove that this is Ga (292, 0.4). Use the central limit theorem to approximate the probability that the annual rainfall exceeds 800mm (write down the analytical formula and the code used to calculate the cdf value). Compare the approximate value obtained with the...

The life time X of a component, costing $1000, is modelled using an exponential distribution with a mean of 5 years. If the component fails during the first year, the manufacturer agrees to give a full refund. If the component fails during the second year, the manufacturer agrees to give a 50% refund. If the component fails after the second year, but before the fifth year the manufacturer agrees to give a 10% refund. (a) What is the probability that...

Check that the measurements for the heart rate are coming from a normal distribution by constructing a histogram. Create indicator variables for female and good AQI. Fit the regression model and discuss its goodness of fit. What portion of variation in heart rate can this model explain? Write the fitted model. What variables are significant predictors of heart rate at the 5% level of significance? Plot residuals against predicted values. Does it show any pattern? Compute the predicted heart rate...
