A mountain climber plans to buy some rope to use as a lifeline. Which of the following would be the better choice? Explain your choice. Rope A: Mean breaking strength:500lb; the standard deviation of 100lb Rope B: Mean breaking strength: 500lb; the standa - IQ Intelligence quotient
Intelligence quotient (IQ) is a standardized score used as the output of standardized intelligence psychological tests to quantify a person's intelligence with the rest of the population (respectively, to a given group). Intelligence has an approximately - Assembly time
The assembly time for the toy follows a normal distribution with a mean of 75 minutes and a standard deviation of 9 minutes. The company closes at 5 pm every day. If one starts assembling at 4 pm, what is the probability that he will finish before the com
- Alopecia
Medical literature indicates that 45% of men suffer from alopecia. For a random sample of 8 men, calculate the probability that: (a) exactly four men suffer from alopecia. (b) at most, two men suffer from alopecia. - Stoaches
Stoaches are fictional creatures distantly related to bigfoot and yeti. Stoach weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 904g and a standard deviation of 104g. State the probability that the sample mean of a random sample of 36 stoach weights excee - Distribution 29371
Let the random variable ξ represent the number of satisfied customers. The probability of a satisfied customer for each of the four customers is 7/10. Specify: a) probability distribution, distribution function F(x) and P(-0.5 < ξ < 3.1) b) variance - Lifespan
The lifetime of a light bulb is a random variable with a normal distribution of x = 300 hours, σ = 35 hours. a) What is the probability that a randomly selected light bulb will have a lifespan of more than 320 hours? b) To what value of L hours can the la - Average height

- Ball bearings
One bearing is selected from the shipment of ball bearings. It is known from previous deliveries that the inner bearing radius can be considered a normal N distribution (µ = 0.400, σ2 = 25.10^−6). Calculate the probability that the selected radius will ex - Grade point average
The average GPA is 2.78, with a standard deviation of 0.45. If GPA is normally distributed, what percentage of the students have the following GPAs? Solve for the z-score and report the appropriate percentage: a. Less than 2.30 b. Less than 2.00 c. More t - Distribution 6399
