A man is hiking at a park. At the beginning, he followed a straight trail. From the starting point, he traveled two miles down the first trail. Then he turned to his left by 30 degree angle to follow a second trail for one point five miles. Next, he turned to his right by 160 degree angle and follow a third trail for one point seven miles. At this point he was getting very tired and would like to get back as quickly as possible, but all of the available trails seem to lead him deeper into the woods. He would like to take a shortcut directly through the woods. How far to his right should you suggest him to turn, and how far do he have to walk, to go directly back to his starting point?

Q1: The man has to turn ____ degree to the right and walk ___ miles to the starting point.

4. You are visiting the rainforest, but unfortunately your insect repellent has run out. As a result, at each second, a mosquito lands on your neck with probability 0.5. If one lands, with probability 0.2 it bites you, and with probability 0.8 it never bothers you, independently of other mosquitoes.
a. What is the expected time between successive mosquito bites? What is the variance of the time between successive mosquito bites?
b. In addition, a tick lands on your neck with probability 0.1. If one lands, with probability 0.7 it bites you, and with probability 0.3, it never bothers you, independently of other ticks and mosquitoes. Now, what is expected time between successive bug bites? What is the variance of the time between successive bug bites?

Computers in some vehicles calculate various quantities related to performance. One of these is the fuel efficiency, or gas mileage, usually expressed as miles per gallon (mpg). For one vehicle equipped in this way, the miles per gallon were recorded each time the gas tank was filled, and the computer was then reset. In addition to the computer's calculations of miles per gallon, the driver also recorded the miles per gallon by dividing the miles driven by the number of gallons at each fill-up. The following data are the differences between the computer's and the driver's calculations for that random sample of 20 records. The driver wants to determine if these calculations are different. Assume that the standard deviation of a difference is σ = 3.0.

6.0 7.5 −0.6 1.5 3.7 4.5 6.0 2.2 4.8 3.0

4.4 0.3 3.0 1.1 1.1 5.0 2.1 3.7 −0.6 −4.2

(a) State the appropriate

H0  and Ha  to test this suspicion.

CORRECT: H0: μ = 0 mpg;    Ha: μ ≠ 0 mpg

(b) Carry out the test. Give the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
