Q1. For a chi-squared distribution, find:
a) x̄ when v = 15
b) x̄ when v = 7
c) x̄ when v = 24
Q2. The stretching material is affected by specific chemical levels. When a low chemical level is used, the true mean is 55, and when a high chemical level is used, the mean is 60. The standard deviation of stretching is 4 regardless of the chemical level. If two random samples of size 16 are taken, find the probability that X̄high - X̄low ≥ 2.
Q3. A customer's spending waiting time at Alahwal_Jeddah check-in counter is a random variable with a mean of 8.2 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.5 minutes. Suppose that a random sample of n = 49 customers is observed. Find the probability that the average time waiting in line for these customers is:
a) Less than 9.3 minutes
b) Between 5 and 10 minutes
c) Less than 7.5 minutes
Q4. A consumer electronics company is comparing the brightness of two different types of picture tubes for use in its television sets. Tube type A has a mean brightness of 100 and a standard deviation of 16, and tube type B has an unknown mean brightness, but the standard deviation is assumed to be identical to that for type A. A random sample of n = 25 tubes of each type is selected, and XÌ„ is computed. If XÌ„ is equal to or exceeds w, the manufacturer would like to adopt type B for use. The observed difference is XÌ„ = 3.5. What decision would you make, and why?
