Researchers at a food company are interested in how a new ketchup made from green tomatoes (and green in color) will compare to their traditional red ketchup. They are worried that the green color will adversely affect the tastiness scores. They randomly assign subjects to either the green or red ketchup condition. Subjects indicate the tastiness of the sauce on a 20-point scale. Tastiness scores tend to be skewed. The scores follow:

A person's blood glucose level and diabetes are closely related. Let x be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter (1/10 of a liter) of blood. Suppose that after a 12-hour fast, the random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with mean μ = 88 and standard deviation σ = 28. Note: After 50 years of age, both the mean and standard deviation tend to increase. For an adult (under 50) after a 12-hour fast, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
(a) x is more than 60
(b) x is less than 110
(c) x is between 60 and 110
(d) x is greater than 125 (borderline diabetes starts at

The following should be performed using R and the R code included in your submission.
To obtain first prize in a lottery, you need to correctly choose n different numbers from N and 1 number from 20, known as the supplementary. That is we first draw n numbers from 1:N without replacement and then 1 number from 1:20 in another draw. Suppose n=7 and N=35. Let X be the number of drawn numbers that match your selection, where the supplementary counts as 8, so that X=0,…,15. For a first prize X=15 i.e. all numbers are matched.
(a) Calculate probabilities P(X=x), x=0, 1, …, 7, without and with the supplementary. Plot the distribution function and the cumulative distribution function. Hint: Part of the answer involves the hypergeometric.
(b) Using R, generate 1,000,000 random numbers from this distribution and plot a histogram of the simulated data.
(c) Calculate the expected value, E(X), and the variance, σ2 (or Var(X)). Obtain the mean and the variance of the simulated data. Compare the estimates with the theoretical parameters.
(d) Assume that each week 10,000,000 entries are lodged, for a single draw. What is the value of � from the Poisson approximation to the number of entries with a first prize? Use the Poisson approximation for the following. What is the probability that there will be no entry with a first prize? What is the expected number of weeks until the first prize?
