According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the 2015 mean starting salary for new college graduates in health sciences was $51,541. The mean 2015 starting salary for new college graduates in business was $53,901. † Assume that starting salaries are normally distributed and that the standard deviation for starting salaries for new college graduates in health sciences is $11,000. Assume that the standard deviation for starting salaries for new college graduates in business is $17,000.
(a)
What is the probability that a new college graduate in business will earn a starting salary of at least $65,000? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(b)
What is the probability that a new college graduate in health sciences will earn a starting salary of at least $65,000? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(c)
What is the probability that a new college graduate in health sciences will earn a starting salary less than $46,000? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(d)
How much would a new college graduate in business have to earn in dollars in order to have a starting salary higher than 99% of all starting salaries of new college graduates in the health sciences? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

The 58th annual convention of the American Legion was held in Philadelphia from July 21 until July 24, 1976. People at the convention included American Legion delegates, their families, and other Legionnaires who were not official delegates. Between July 20 and August 30, some of those who had been present became ill with a type of pneumonia that was subsequently named Legionnaires' disease. No one attending the convention developed the disease after August 30th. The number of delegates who developed Legionnaires' disease during the period of July 20 to August 30 are as follows:
Developed Legionnaires' Disease
Convention Status | Yes | No | Total |
Delegate | 125 | 1,724 | 1,849 |
Nondelegate | 3 | 759 | 762 |
Determine if the null hypothesis is true:There is no association between Delegates and Legionnaires' Disease.

Summarize key data distribution concepts including probability mass functions (PMF), probability density functions (PDF), and cumulative distribution functions (CDF). Based on your organization or any organization you are most familiar with, provide an example of a PMF, an example of a PDF, and an example of a CDF, based on the type of data used in the organization. How would you summarize each of these to someone who is not familiar with each of these functions?

1. What are the assumptions for various forms of hypothesis testing?
2. Compare the sampling distribution with the population distribution. Consider how variance may or may not differ between the two.
3. If we reject a null hypothesis of no difference, what are the odds that we made a correct decision?
4. Type I and Type II error. How is alpha related to this? How is the critical region related to type II error? If the null is true, what is the probability of type II error?
5. What values can alpha be and not be? Can alpha be 0? Why?
6. How can we increase the probability that a confidence
interval will include the population parameter?How can we increase
the width of a confidence interval? How can we decrease the
width?

A basket contains 100 balls.40 are red,45 are orange and 15 are yellow.Three balls will be drawn out one at a time at random with replacement.Match the probabilities.
(a) P(all three draws are red)
(b) P(all three draws are orange)
(c) P(at least one draw is red)
(d) P(at least one draw is orange)
2.Refer to the previous question about the balls in the basket.Instead of drawing out three balls one at a time with repalcement, suppose we selected balls one at a time at random without replacement until all the yellow balls were removed from the basket. Y=the number of draws necessary.What are the possible values of Y.
