A population of young people was studied where the variable weight has an average of 60 kilograms. The standard deviation is 5 kilograms, and the serura variable presented an average cone of 1.70 meters and its standard deviation 10 centimeters. Calculate the probability of finding young people weighing over 58 kilograms and measuring less than 1.80 meters.

An economist with the Liquor, Hospitality and Miscellaneous Workers' Union collected data on the weekly salaries of workers in the hospitality industry in Cairns and Townsville. The union believed that the weekly salaries of employees in Cairns were higher and they were mounting a case for the equalisation of salaries between the northern cities. The researcher took samples of size 30 and 37 in Cairns and Townsville, respectively, and found that the average and standard deviation of the weekly salaries were $585.43 and $38.72 respectively in Townsville, and $616.19 and $29.13 in Cairns. Use Cairns minus Townsville.
1. Determine a point estimate for the value of the difference in average weekly salary between the two groups (in dollars to 2 decimal places).
2. Calculate the standard error for the difference between the means assuming that the workers' salaries in both locations are normally distributed and have the same population variance (in dollars to 2 decimal places).
3. Use Kaddstat to determine a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the average weekly salaries in Cairns and Townsville.
a. lower limit
b. upper limit (in dollars to 2 decimal places)

We have to randomly select 2 students for an award from a group of 5 equally deserving students. Of the five students two are female and three are male.Event C as selecting at least one female. Define event D as awarding only one male, what is the probability of event D? P(C U D) 8. P(C ∩ D) Are C and D disjoint?
Explain in detail using sample space if possible. And pls if you use symbols like this: a) D = {one male and one female} P(D) = 2C1 * 3C1 / 5C2 = 2 * 3 / 10 = 0.6 please explain what C is? what does 2C1 ,means?

Air traffic controllers perform the vital function of regulating the traffic of passenger planes. Frequently, air traffic controllers work long hours with little sleep. Researchers wanted to test their ability to make basic decisions as they become increasingly sleep deprived. To test their abilities, a sample of 6 air traffic controllers is selected and given a decision-making skills test following 12-hour, 24-hour, and 48-hour sleep deprivation. Higher scores indicate better decision-making skills. The table lists the hypothetical results of this study.

2.) Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression during seasons with less daylight (e.g., winter months). One therapy for SAD is phototherapy, which is increased exposure to light used to improve mood. A researcher tests this therapy by exposing a sample of SAD patients to different intensities of light (low, medium, high) in a light box, either in the morning or at night (these are the times thought to be most effective for light therapy). All participants rated their mood following this therapy on a scale from 1 (poor mood) to 9 (improved mood). The hypothetical results are given in the following table.

A quality controller at a beverage manufacturer is concerned that a bottling machine is under-filling (an opaque container) that is supposed to contain 1000 mL of fluid. A random sample of 20 containers is therefore taken and the volume in each recorded in the file STA201 201960 Assn Bottles.xlsx. In researching the problem the quality controller sees a statement in the machine’s manual that “volumes dispensed by the machine will follow a normal distribution”. (a) Based on the information provided, write down the null and alternate hypothesis that the quality controller should employ to test this concern. (b) Say why the statement in the manual is important to this analysis and then write down the name of the test to be employed. (c) Write down the decision rule in terms of a test statistic and give the corresponding decision rule using a p value. Note: Use a 5% level of significance for the test. (d) Calculate the value of the test statistic manually. (e) State whether you reject the null hypotheses or otherwise, justify your decision and then draw a conclusion that answers the original question.

(a). Roll a die until you get your 17th ace. Let T be the number of rolls you need to get that 17th ace.
Find E(T) and var(T).
(b). Let Y = T-17 = "number of non-aces rolled to get your 17th ace". Y is called a "negative binomial" random variable, with parameters r=17 and p= 1/6.
Find E(Y) and var(Y).
(c). Find the approximate value of P{ T > 120 }
This variance can also be found in a tedious way (but not requiring any cleverness) using the "moment-generating function" of X given by m(t) = E[ e^(tX)]. Look it up if you have OCD.
