Consider the​ table, showing the official mean weight and estimated standard deviation for five U.S. coins. Suppose a vending machine is designed to reject all coins with weights more than 1 standard deviation above or below the mean. Coin Weight (grams) Estimated standard deviation (grams) Cent 2.500 0.06 Nickel 5.000 0.08 Dime 2.268 0.06 Quarter 5.670 0.06 Half dollar 11.340 0.14 For each​ coin, find the range of weights that are acceptable to the vending machine. Complete the table below. Coin Range of weight​ (grams)

Cent ___ ___ Nickel ___ ___ Dime ___ ___ Quarter ___ ___ Half dollar ___ ___​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)

In the U.S., newborn babies weight an average of 7.2 pounds (μ). The standard deviation is 1.22 pounds (σ). The population distribution of birth weights is roughly Normal. You draw a simple random sample of 60 births from the population and find that the sample mean is 7.4 pounds. NOTE: Use the most precise estimate of z or z* you can in these problems as in all your written results. Draw a picture of the distribution, label, and shade as...

In a sample of 51 babies, the mean weight is 21 pounds and the standard deviation is 4 pounds. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the true mean weight of babies. Suppose we are interested in testing if the true mean weight of babies is 19.4 vs the alternative that it is not 19.4 with an alpha level of .05. Would this test be significant? Explain your answer. Perform the t test and use a t-table to get the p-value

The mean weight of a fire ant worker is 3.11 mg with a standard deviation of 0.49 mg. Let us assume that the weight of any fire ant is independent from the weight of any other fire ant. A typical fire ant colony contains 240,000 fire ant workers. Suppose we look at the weight of each ant in a typical fire ant colony. Let M be the random variable representing the mean weight of all the worker ants in the...

The mean weight of a fire ant worker is 3.11 mg with a standard deviation of .49 mg. Suppose we randomly select 14 different fire ant workers having weights F1, F2, , F14. Let S = F1 + F2 + ...+F14 and let M = S/14. This means S is the sample sum and M is the sample mean of the selected ant weights. (Note: random selection means F1 F14 are independent.). Assume the Fis are normally distributed. a) What...

A dishwasher has a mean life of 12 years with an estimated standard deviation of 1.25 years ("Appliance life expectancy," 2013). The life of a dishwasher is normally distributed. Suppose you are a manufacturer and you take a sample of 10 dishwashers that you made. a.) TRUE or FALSE: The random variable is defined as the sum of dishwasher life expectancies in the sample. b.) For a sample of size 10, state the mean of the sample mean. c.) For...

A dishwasher has a mean lifetime of 12 years with an estimated standard deviation of 1.25 years. Assume the lifetime of a dishwasher is normally distributed. Round the probabilities to four decimal places. It is possible with rounding for a probability to be 0.0000. a) State the random variable. rv X = the lifetime of a randomly selected dishwasher Correct b) Find the probability that a randomly selected dishwasher has a lifetime of 8.25 years or more. c) Find the...

A dishwasher has a mean life of 10 years with an estimated standard deviation of 1.25 years ("Appliance life expectancy," 2013). Assume the life of a dishwasher is normally distributed. State the random variable. Find the probability that a dishwasher will last more than 15 years. Find the probability that a dishwasher will last less than 6 years. Find the probability that a dishwasher will last between 8 and 10 years. If you found a dishwasher that lasted less than...
