Suppose we are concerned about the variability of the number of raisins in a box of raisin bran. Assume that the number is distributed normally. If a random sample of 16 boxes is taken, what is the probability that the sample variance will be more than twice the population variance?
Homework Answers
here as we know that chi square test statistic X2 =(n-1)(s/σ)2 with (n-1) degree of freedom
therefore P(s2/ σ2 >2 )=P((n-1)(s/σ)2 >2*(16-1))=P(X2 >30) =0.0119

Hello, I need help with the following two questions. Please show your computations. Thank you! The number of raisins in a 24 oz. box of Raisin Bran Cereal is normally distributed with a mean of 100 raisins and a standard deviation of 15 raisins. Help the manager decide the raisin count per box for the top 3% boxes with respect to the raisin content. In other words, how many raisins must be in a box so that the box is...

A popular brand of raisin bran cereal boasts that each box contains 2 cups of raisins. Suppose 36 cereal boxes are randomly sampled with a sample mean of 1.9 cups of raisins in each box with a standard deviation of 0.23 cups. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean of cups of raisins in this brand of cereal. Show your work to receive full credit!

Suppose ‘G’ is the grade of gasoline used by all professional drivers on the college team. Suppose G is normally distributed with a mean of 104, but an unknown variance. A random sample of 9 drivers is drawn from this population. What is the probability that the sample average is more than 102 with a sample variance of 9?

The weight of the contents of a type of box of cereal is normally distributed with population mean μ = 30 ounces and population standard deviation σ = 3.2 ounces. A random sample (size n = 25) is taken. What is the probability that the sample mean is less than 31.74 ounces?

Problem 9.5. Suppose that an electrical component manufactured by Johnny Depp Electrical Company is designed to provide a mean service life of 1,000 hours, with a standard deviation of 100 hours. Assume that the service life is normally distributed. (a) When a customer purchases one component, what is the probability that the service life of the component will exceed 1,100 hours? P[ X > 1,100 ] = P[ Z > 1 ] = 15.87% (b) Suppose that a customer purchases...
