With one method of a procedure called acceptance sampling, a sample of items is randomly selected without replacement and the entire batch is accepted if every item in the sample is okay. The ABC Electronics Company has just manufactured 1950 write-rewrite CDs, and 50 are defective. If 6 of these CDs are randomly selected for testing, what is the probability that the entire batch will be accepted?

Last year, 45% of business owners gave a holiday gift to their employees. A survey of business owners conducted this year indicates that 35% plan to provide a holiday gift to their employees. Suppose the survey results are based on a sample of 80 business owners.

(A) How many business owners in the survey plan to provide a holiday gift to their employees this year?

Compute the probability of each of the following poker hands occurring (poker hand = 5 cards dealt out of a regular 52-card deck, the order does not matter). For the following explanations, let the letters u, v, w, x, y, z indicate face values (i.e. ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, jack, queen, king). Please note that aces can be either high (that is, they come after the king sequentially) or low (that is, they act like a “one”), but never both at the same time.

a. Royal flush (10, jack, queen, king, ace; all of the same suit)

b. Straight flush (not royal) (five sequential cards, all of the same suit)

c. Four of a kind (x, x, x, x, y)

d. Flush (not straight or royal) (five cards, not all sequential, of the same suit)

e. Straight (not royal or flush) (five sequential cards, not all of the same suit)

f. Full house (x, x, x, y, y) g. Three of a kind (x, x, x, y, z)

h. Two pairs (x, x, y, y, z) i. At least 4 face cards (face cards are jacks, queens, and kings)

j. No more than one ace

A die is weighted so that rolling a 1 is two times as likely as rolling a 2, a 2 is two times likely as rolling a 3, a 3 is two times as likely as rolling a 4, a 4 is two times a likely as rolling a 5, and a 5 is two times as likely as rolling a 6. What is the probability of rolling an even number?

1. To benchmark their performance against competing healthcare institutions, a radiology center wants to know the average time taken by their staff to do an MRI test. A sample of 50 randomly selected MRI tests yielded a sample average of 47 minutes and a sample standard deviation of 9 minutes. The distribution of testing time, however, is highly skewed to the right.

   1. Suggest a plausible reason for the distribution of the MRI testing time to be right skewed.

   2. Why can one still make an inference about the average MRI testing time even though the

      distribution is skewed right?

   3. Compute a 90% confidence interval for the average MRI testing time

2M2_IND3. Prices of diamond jewelry are based on the “4Cs” ofdiamonds: cut, color, clarity, and carat. A jeweler is trying to estimate the price of diamond earrings based on color, carats, and clarity. The jeweler has collected some data on 22 diamond pieces and the data is shown in Worksheet IND3.

a)Calculate the mean and standard deviation for the sample. Give your answers to 2 decimal places.

sample mean = ?

sample standard deviation = ?

b)Find the proportion of scores that are within 1 standard deviation of the sample mean and also the proportion that are within 2 standard deviations of the sample mean. Use the unrounded values for the mean and standard deviation when doing this calculation. Give your answers as decimals to 2 decimal places.

Proportion of scores within 1 standard deviation of the mean = ?

Proportion of scores within 2 standard deviations of the mean = ?

c)Select the appropriate description for the data:

a)the data are APPROXIMATELY normal
b)the data are CLEARLY not normal

d)Calculate the standardized value for the sample value 75. Note that, for a value x within a sample that is approximately distributed as N(x,s), a standardized value can be calculated as z = (x - x) / s

standardized value (to 2 decimal places) for the sample value 75 = ?

e)Calculate the probability that a standard normal random variable Z takes a values less than the standardized value calculated in part d). Give your answer as a decimal to 4 decimal places.

Probability Z less than standardized value = ?

A group of mutual funds earned varying annual rates of return in the last year. These rates of return are normally distributed with a mean of 6% and a standard deviation of 17%.

One mutual fund in this group managed to earn a rate of return that was double that of this group's average that year. This performance would put the fund in the top X% of those funds in that year.

Calculate X%. Give your answer to 1 decimal place.

X% = %

1. The manufacturer of a portable music player (PMP) has shown that the average life of the product is 72 months with a standard deviation of 12 months. The manufacturer is considering using a new parts supplier for th PMP's and want to test that the new hard drives will increase the life of the PMP. Before manufacturing the PMP's on a lareg scale, the manufactuer sampled 200 PMP's and found the average life to be 78 months. Test the hypothesis using alpha = .01 that the new hard drives will increase the life of the PMP's. Assume the standard deviation of the new PMP's is the same as the standard deviation of the older model.
2. A website developer has indicated to potential clients that for the sites he has developed visitors spend an average of 45 minutes per day on the sites. One of his potential clients conducted a survey of 20 visitors to several of his sites and found that the average time spent was 35 minutes with a standard deviation of 7 minutes. Determine if there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the average time spent on the sites is different from what he indicated. Conduct the test at the 0.05 level.
3. In both cases, in addition to testing the hypotheses using a critical value, also calculate the p value for the test statistic.
