9551/SQRT(300)‚1) = 0.0783 (c) A circuit contains three resistors wired in series. Each is rated at 6 ohms. Suppose‚ however‚ that the true resistance of each one is a normally distributed random variable with a mean of 6 ohms and a standard deviation of 0.3 ohm. What is the probability that the combined resistance will exceed 19 ohms? How "precise" would the manufacturing process have to be to make the probability less than 0.005 that the combined resistance of the circuit would exceed 19

to obtain the highest overall reliability? 17. A major television manufacturer has determined that its 19-inch color TV picture tubes have a mean service life that can be modeled by a normal distribution with a mean of six years and a standard deviation of one-half year. a. What probability can you assign to service lives of at least (1) Five years? (2) Six years? (3) Seven and one-half years? b. If the manufacturer offers service contracts of four years on these picture tubes‚ what percentage

diversified portfolios and by excluding any portfolio that offers an inferior return for a given amount of risk. While this concept seems obvious‚ one of your clients‚ Laura Spegele‚ is considering purchasing a stock she will bear. To convince her that the acquisition is not desirable‚ you want to demonstrate the trade-off between risk and return. While it is impractical to show the trade-off for all possible combinations‚ you believe that illustrating several combinations of risk and return and applying

Part 1 of 1 - | Question 1 of 10 | 1.0 Points | Consider the following scenario in answering questions 1 through 4. Results from previous studies showed 79% of all high school seniors from a certain city plan to attend college after graduation. A random sample of 200 high school seniors from this city reveals that 162 plan to attend college. Does this indicate that the percentage has increased from that of previous studies? Test at the 5% level of significance. State the null and alternative

The null hypothesis would be: There is no difference in levels of empowerment‚ self-care and efficacy‚ or depression in patients with end stage renal disease that have attended an empowerment program. 2. The average baseline depression score in the experimental group was 14.00. This value is pulled from the Mean Column 3. The baseline number for the self-care and efficacy patients was 89.56‚ where posttest numbers are 96.00. This should

Inferences for One Population Standard Deviation The Standard deviation is a measure of the variation (or spread) of a data set. For a variable x‚ the standard deviation of all possible observations for the entire population is called the population standard deviation or standard deviation of the variable x. It is denoted σx or‚ when no confusion will arise‚ simply σ. Suppose that we want to obtain information about a population standard deviation. If the population is small‚ we can often determine
