A local Starbucks coffee shop has two baristas filling orders, and it is known that the time it takes for each barista to complete an order is exponentially distributed with average 60 seconds. You are next in line with barista 1 filling an order for John and barista 2 filling an order for Mary. When one of these two customers gets their order, you will proceed to that barista to get your order filled. What is the probability that, of these three customers, you will be the last one of the three to leave the coffee shop with your coffee order?

You just started your first full time job out of college. You recall from your finance course the importance of starting to save early for retirement. You plan on making deposits of $215 per pay check into a stock account and $130 per pay check into a bond account. You are paid every two weeks (26 pay checks per year). It is your plan to make these deposits for the next thirty-years. You expect that you will earn 8.75% per year on the stock account and 5.5% on the bond account. When you retire in thirty-years you plan on depositing the balance the money into a money-market account that you expect should pay 2%. How much could you withdraw monthly, and have the money last for the next thirty years?

The article "Plugged In, but Tuned Out"† summarizes data from
two surveys of kids age 8 to 18. One survey was conducted in 1999
and the other was conducted in 2009. Data on number of hours per
day spent using electronic media that are consistent with summary
quantities given in the article are given below (the actual sample
sizes for the two surveys were much larger). For purposes of this
exercise, assume that it is reasonable to regard the two samples as
representative of kids age 8 to 18 in each of the 2 years that the
surveys were conducted.
2009 5 9 5
8 7 6 7
9 7 9 6
9 10 9 8
1999 4 5 7
7 5 7 5
6 5 6 7
8 5 6 6
(a)
Because the given sample sizes are small, in order for the
two-sample t test to be appropriate, what assumption must be made
about the distributions of electronic media use
times?
o We need to assume that the population
distribution in 1999 of time per day using electronic media are
normal.
o We need to assume that the population
distribution in 2009 of time per day using electronic media are
normal.
o We need to assume that the population
distributions in both 1999 and 2009 of time per day using
electronic media are normal.
o We need to assume that the population
distribution in either 1999 or 2009 of time per day using
electronic media is normal.
Use the given data to construct graphical displays that
would be useful in determining whether this assumption is
reasonable. Do you think it is reasonable to use these data to
carry out a two-sample t test?
o The boxplot of the 2009 data is roughly
symmetrical with no outliers, so the assumption is
reasonable.
o Both the boxplot of the 1999 data and the 2009
data are skewed to the right, so the assumption is not
reasonable.
o The boxplot of the 1999 data is roughly
symmetrical with no outliers, so the assumption is
reasonable.
o Boxplots of the both the 1999 data and 2009 data
are roughly symmetrical with no outliers, so the assumption is
reasonable.
o The boxplot of the 1999 data has an outlier to
the far right, so the assumption is not reasonable.
(b)
Do the given data provide convincing evidence that the mean number
of hours per day spent using electronic media was greater in 2009
than in 1999? Test the relevant hypotheses using a significance
level of 0.01. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the
P-value. Use μ2009 − μ1999. Round your test statistic to two
decimal places, your df down to the nearest whole number, and your
P-value to three decimal places.)
t =
df =
P-value =
State your conclusion.
o Reject H0. There is convincing evidence that the
mean number of hours per day spent using electronic media was
greater in 2009 than in 1999.
o Fail to reject H0. There is convincing evidence
that the mean number of hours per day spent using electronic media
was greater in 2009 than in 1999.
o Fail to reject H0. There is not convincing
evidence that the mean number of hours per day spent using
electronic media was greater in 2009 than in 1999.
o Reject H0. There is not convincing evidence that
the mean number of hours per day spent using electronic media was
greater in 2009 than in 1999.
(c)
Construct and interpret a 98% confidence interval estimate of the
difference between the mean number of hours per day spent using
electronic media in 2009 and 1999. (Use μ2009 − μ1999. Round your
answers to two decimal places.)
_______ to _______ hours
Interpret the interval.
o We are 98% confident that the true difference in
mean number of hours per day spent using electronic media in 2009
and 1999 is between these two values.
o We are 98% confident that the true mean number
of hours per day spent using electronic media in 2009 is between
these two values.
o We are 98% confident that the true mean number
of hours per day spent using electronic media in 1999 is between
these two values.
o There is a 98% chance that the true mean number
of hours per day spent using electronic media in 2009 is directly
in the middle of these two values.
o There is a 98% chance that the true difference
in mean number of hours per day spent using electronic media in
2009 and 1999 is directly in the middle of these two values.

Here is your assigned case problem: A 34-year-old woman came to the physician with a 2-month history of increasing weakness, persistent nonproductive cough, fever and chills accompanied by night sweats, and a 13-pound weight loss over a 6-month period. Results of chest radiographs and purified protein derivative test (for tuberculosis) were negative. The patient was treated with ciprofloxacin and her cough improved, but she continued to grow weaker and was able to consume only small quantities of food. The patient appeared pale and cachectic. Tenderness and fullness were present in the left upper quadrant, and the spleen was palpable below the umbilicus. No hepatomegaly or peripheral adenopathy was noted.
Her laboratory results were as follows:
WBCs—248 x 10^9/L
HGB—9.5 g/dl
HCT—26.3%
Platelets—449 x10^9/L
Segmented neutrophils—44%
Band neutrophils—4%
Lymphocytes—10%
Eosinophils—3%
Basophils—7%
Myelocytes—30%
Promyelocytes—1%
Myeloblasts—1%
Nucleated RBCs—2 per 100
WBCs Reticulocytes—3%
Leukocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP) score—20
(reference range, 40 to 130)
Lactate dehydrogenase—692 IU
(reference range, 140 to 280 IU)
Uric acid—8.1 mg/dL (reference range, 4 to 6 mg/dL)
Questions:
1. What is the significance of the elevated WBC count and abnormal WBC differential?
2. How does the LAP score aid in the diagnosis?
3. What is your diagnosis based on the presented case ?

type of training affect learning simple fractions. Fifth graders

of a standard arithmetic test. What can the psychologist conclude
with an α of 0.05?

Is the crime rate in New York different from the crime rate in New Jersey? Independent random samples from region A (cities in New York) and region B (cities in New Jersey) gave the following information about violent crime rate (number of violent crimes per 100,000 population). (Reference: U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation.)
| Region A | 618 | 521 | 544 | 545 | 501 | 405 | 556 | 539 | 606 | 536 | 426 | |

Use a 10% level of significance to test the claim that there is no difference in the crime rate distributions of the two states.
Find the P-value of the sample test statistic. (Use 4 decimal places.)
