An email system sends incoming mail to either the In-Folder (I) or the Trash Folder (T). You classify incoming mail as Useful (U), in which case you want it sent to I, or as a Nuisance (N) in which case you would like it sent to T. If incoming mail is U, the system sends it to T with probability 0.1. If the incoming mail is N, the system sends it to I with probability 0.05. Suppose a proportion 0.35 of your incoming mail is N.

What is the probability that an incoming mail is sent to T?

What is the probability that an incoming mail is U given that it is sent to T?

1. You gather data from 28 parolees who are currently enrolled in job training programs while on parole. You find that over the past year, they have been cited an average of 3.2 times for technical parole violations with a standard deviation of 1.2.

   Using this information, construct a 99% confidence interval for the overall mean technical violation rate for parolees who are enrolled in job training programs. Round all answers to 2 decimal points (0.00). Be sure to interpret your results.

he weight of an organ in adult males has a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 320 grams and a standard deviation of 45 grams. Use the empirical rule to determine the following. ​

(a) About 99.7​% of organs will be between what​ weights?

​(b) What percentage of organs weighs between 230 grams and 410 ​grams? ​

(c) What percentage of organs weighs less than 230 grams or more than 410 ​grams? ​

(d) What percentage of organs weighs between 275 grams and 455 ​grams?

Independent random samples of professional football and basketball players gave the following information. Assume that the weight distributions are mound-shaped and symmetric.

Weights (in lb) of pro football players: x₁; n₁ = 21

Weights (in lb) of pro basketball players: x₂; n₂ = 19

(a) Use a calculator with mean and standard deviation keys to calculate x₁, s₁, x₂, and s₂. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

(b) Let μ₁ be the population mean for x₁ and let μ₂ be the population mean for x₂. Find a 99% confidence interval for μ₁ − μ₂. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

(c) Examine the confidence interval and explain what it means in the context of this problem. Does the interval consist of numbers that are all positive? all negative? of different signs? At the 99% level of confidence, do professional football players tend to have a higher population mean weight than professional basketball players?

Because the interval contains only negative numbers, we can say that professional football players have a lower mean weight than professional basketball players.Because the interval contains both positive and negative numbers, we cannot say that professional football players have a higher mean weight than professional basketball players.    Because the interval contains only positive numbers, we can say that professional football players have a higher mean weight than professional basketball players.

(d) Which distribution did you use? Why?

The standard normal distribution was used because σ₁ and σ₂ are unknown.

The standard normal distribution was used because σ₁ and σ₂ are known.    

The Student's t-distribution was used because σ₁ and σ₂ are unknown.

The Student's t-distribution was used because σ₁ and σ₂ are known.

(1 point) Rework problem 27 from section 3.2 of your text, involving the mice in a cage. For this problem, assume there are 6 grey females, 6 grey males, 5 white females, and 3 white males. As in the book, the biologist selects two mice randomly.

(1) What is the probability of selecting two males given that both are grey?

(2) What is the probability of selecting one male and one female given that both are grey?

Let X1,X2,...,Xn be a random sample from any distribution with mean μ and moment generating function M(t). Assume that M(t) is finite for some t > 0.

Let c>μ be any constant. Let Yn = X1+X2+···+Xn. Show that P(Yn ≥ cn) ≤ exp[−n a(c)] where P(Yn ≥ cn) ≤ exp[−n a(c)]

The size of the left upper chamber of the heart is one measure of cardiovascular health. When the upper left chamber is enlarged, the risk of heart problems is increased. A paper described a study in which the left atrial size was measured for a large number of children age 5 to 15 years. Based on this data, the authors concluded that for healthy children, left atrial diameter was approximately normally distributed with a mean of 26.7 mm and a standard deviation of 4.7 mm.

(a)

Approximately what proportion of healthy children have left atrial diameters less than 24 mm? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

(b)

Approximately what proportion of healthy children have left atrial diameters greater than 32 mm? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

(c)

Approximately what proportion of healthy children have left atrial diameters between 25 and 30 mm? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

(d)

For healthy children, what is the value for which only about 20% have a larger left atrial diameter? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Consider babies born in the "normal" range of 37–43 weeks gestational age. A paper suggests that a normal distribution with mean

μ = 3500 grams

and standard deviation

σ = 710 grams

is a reasonable model for the probability distribution of the continuous numerical variable

x = birth weight

of a randomly selected full-term baby.

(a)

What is the probability that the birth weight of a randomly selected full-term baby exceeds 4000 g? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

(b)

What is the probability that the birth weight of a randomly selected full-term baby is between 3000 and 4000 g? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

(c)

What is the probability that the birth weight of a randomly selected full-term baby is either less than 2000 g or greater than 5000 g? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

(d)

What is the probability that the birth weight of a randomly selected full-term baby exceeds 7 pounds? (Hint: 1 lb = 453.59 g. Round your answer to four decimal places.)

(e)

How would you characterize the most extreme 0.1% of all full-term baby birth weights? (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)

The most extreme 0.1% of birth weights consist of those greater than  grams and those less than  grams.

(f)

If x is a random variable with a normal distribution and a is a numerical constant

(a ≠ 0),

then

y = ax

also has a normal distribution. Use this formula to determine the distribution of full-term baby birth weight expressed in pounds (shape, mean, and standard deviation), and then recalculate the probability from part (d). (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

How does this compare to your previous answer?

The value is much smaller than the probability calculated in part (d).The value is about the same as the probability calculated in part (d).    The value is much larger than the probability calculated in part (d).
