Suppose that 5 percent of men and 0.25 percent of women are color-blind. A color- blind person is chosen at random. What is the probability of this person being male? Assume that there are an equal number of males and females

A machine fills containers with a mean weight per container of 16.0 ounces. If no more than 5% of the containers are to weigh less than 15.7 ounces, what must the standard deviation of the weights equal? (assume normality). Note: This problem is very similar to problem 6.60 (page 334).

If a data set has mean 70 and standard deviation 5, is 80 a suspect outlier?

Given a mean of 60, with a standard deviation of 12, and with a raw score of 75, find: (a) the z-score, (b) percentile rank, (c) t-score, (d) SAT score, and (e) stanine score. Discuss why there are so many kinds of standardized scores.

Suppose that a classroom has 8 light bulbs. The probability that each individual light bulb works is 0.8. Suppose that each light bulb works independently of the other light bulbs. What is the probability that all eight of the light bulbs work?

The manager of a local soft drink bottling company believes that when a new beverage-dispensing machine is set to dispense 7 ounces, it in fact dispenses an amount x at random anywhere between 6.5 and 7.5 ounces inclusive. Suppose x has a uniform probability distribution. a. is the amount...
