Problen 6.70. The marker on your new car indicates that you have already run the first 3,000 miles, at which point the manufacturer recommends a general overhaul. You take your car to a recognized garage and request a review. Upon arrival in the garage there are 8 mechanics available, two of which are new. For a new mechanic, the time it takes to perform the overhaul is a random variable that follows a normal distribution with an expected value of 1 hour and a standard deviation of 5 minutes. For an experienced mechanic, the time to perform the overhaul follows an exponential distribution with an expected value of 40 minutes.

 If your car will be randomly assigned to any of the available mechanics,

1. What is the probability that your car is ready in less than 1 hour? 


2. If your car is ready in less than an hour, what is the probability that it was serviced by an experienced mechanic?

1.

A student bikes to school by traveling first dN = 1.00miles north, then dW = 0.500miles west, and finally dS = 0.200miles south.

If a bird were to start out from the origin (where the student starts) and fly directly (in a straight line) to the school, what distance db would the bird cover?

Express your answer in miles.

2.

You will now find the same quantity algebraically, without the need to use much geometry. Take the north direction as the positive y direction and east as positive x. The origin is still where the student starts biking.

Let d? N be the displacement vector corresponding to the first leg of the student's trip. Express d? N in component form.

Express your answer as two numbers separated by a comma (e.g., 1.0,2.0). By convention, the x component is written first.

Though the develoment of railroads began in the first half of the 189th century, their true impact was not experienced until the Gilded Age. Railroads broke down many barriers withtin the country. Physically, people and products could travel year-round further and faster. Before people rarely travel more than 100 miles from the place they were born. Culturally, ideas and differing people would influence the country. This is the first time that a truly American culture began to develop instead of just regional identities. Lastly, business opportunities expanded and a national market was developed. Now goods produced in one area of the country could easily be transportd to another without the need of a water route.

Railroads became the model for all the big businesses that followed. What was that model and give two examples how other businesses adopted it?

A kinesiologist wanted to investigate the effect of temperature and humidity on human performance. He found 28 college students and randomly assigned them to four different conditions, during which they were to walk at their normal pace on a treadmill for 60 minutes. He measured how far, in miles, they walked. The conditions varied in temperature (normal temperature/high temperature) and humidity (normal humidity/high humidity). The data are presented below, and SSwithin = 1.58. Do all hypothesis testing steps and compute effect sizes. Note that T = Σx.  

Normal Temperature, Normal Humidity

n = 7

M = 3.00

T = 21

Normal Temperature, High Humidity

n = 7

M = 2.80

T = 19.60

High Temperature, Normal Humidity

n = 7

M = 2.80

T = 19.60

High Temperature, High Humidity

n = 7

M = 2.00

T = 14

A car company is considering a new engine filter for its new hybrid automobile line. But it does not want to switch to the new brand unless there is evidence that the new filter can improve fuel economy for the vehicle (miles per gallon). The experimental design is set up so that each of the 10 cars drive the same course twice - once with the old filtration system and once with the new version. The data collected is shown below:

Car # Current Filter New Filter
1 7.6 7.3
2 5.1 7.2
3 10.4 6.8
4 6.9 10.6
5 5.6 8.8
6 7.9 8.7
7 5.4 5.7
8 5.7 8.7
9 5.5 8.9
10 5.3 7.1

Conduct a hypothesis testing to determine whether the new filtration system is superior. Provide the p-value from your analysis.

In 2017, the entire fleet of light‑duty vehicles sold in the United States by each manufacturer must emit an average of no more than 86 milligrams per mile (mg/mi) of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and nonmethane organic gas (NMOG) over the useful life (150,000 miles of driving) of the vehicle. NOX + NMOG emissions over the useful life for one car model vary Normally with mean 82 mg/mi and standard deviation 5 mg/mi.

(a) What is the probability that a single car of this model emits more than 86 mg/mi of NOX + NMOG? (Enter your answer rounded to four decimal places.)

(b) A company has 25 cars of this model in its fleet. What is the probability that the average NOX + NMOG level x¯ of these cars is above 86 mg/mi? (Enter your answer rounded to four decimal places.
