According to the Internal Revenue Service, the average length of time for an individual to complete (keep records for, learn, prepare, copy, assemble, and send) IRS Form 1040 is 10.41 hours (without any attached schedules). The distribution is unknown. Let us assume that the standard deviation is two hours. Suppose we randomly sample 36 taxpayers.

A) In words, define the random variable X.

the length of time, in minutes, for an individual to complete IRS Form 1040the length of time, in hours, for an individual to complete IRS Form 1040    the number of individuals who complete IRS Form 1040the number of taxpayers sampled

B) In words, define the random variable

X.

c)

Give the distribution of

X.

(Round your answers to two decimal places.)

X ~

D) Find the probability that the 36 taxpayers took an average of more than 12 hours to finish their Form 1040s. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

E) Would you be surprised if the 36 taxpayers finished their Form 1040s in an average of more than 12 hours? Explain why or why not in a complete sentence.

No, because the probability is very close to 1.Yes, because the probability is very close to 0.

a child with blocks and constraints on physical systems. A certain child’s room is
partitioned into 100 squares. His toy box in the corner is exactly one square in size and contains
some number of blocks. When he plays with the toys, he tends to throw them around and evenly
scatter them about the room.

a) Assume that there are now three blocks (red, green, and blue). Also assume that all three blocks
can fit on one square. How many accessible microstates are there for this system, if they are all
in the toy box, lid is closed, and the lid is locked in the closed position? (All the other constraints
imposed in the story still apply.)

b) What is the total number of accessible microstates for this system, if the toy-box lid is opened?

c) If the boy plays for a long time with all the blocks (and randomly leaves them in the toy box or on
one of the floor squares), what is the probability of finding the red block in the toy box, the blue
box on square #15, and the green block on square #75? Explain how you determined this result.

d) Again, after a long time, what is the probability of finding the red block in the toy box independently
of where the blue and green blocks are?

e) How would probability in (d) change if we asked for it after the boy had been playing for only 15
seconds? Explain why.

f) Explain what condition must be satisfied to say that a system is equally likely to be in any of its
accessible microstates

To generate leads for new business, Gustin Investment Services offers free financial planning seminars at major hotels in Southwest Florida. Gustin conducts seminars for groups of 25 individuals. Each seminar costs Gustin $3700, and the average first-year commission for each new account opened is $5300. Gustin estimates that for each individual attending the seminar, there is a 0.01 probability that he/she will open a new account. Assume that the number of new accounts you get randomly is: Simulation Trial New Accounts :
