1. Question: A manager wishes to see if the time (in minutes) it takes for their workers to complete a certain task is faster if they are wearing earbuds. A random sample of 20 workers' times were collected before and after wearing earbuds. Test the claim that the time to complete the task will be faster, i.e. meaning has production increased, at a significance level of α = 0.01 For the context of this problem, µD = µbefore−µafter where the first data set represents before earbuds and the...

1. Question: A coin is flipped 30 times. What is the probability of getting 15 or more heads? Round answer to 4 decimal places. 2. Question: It is known that 50% of adult workers have a high school diploma. If a random sample of 8 adult workers is selected, what is the probability that less than 6 of them have a high school diploma? 3. Question: If random variable X has a binomial distribution with n=9 and P(success) =p= 0.4, find the standard deviation of X. 4. Question: If random variable X...

1. Question: A dishwasher has a mean life of 11.5 years with an estimated standard deviation of 1.5 years ("Appliance life expectancy," 2013). Assume the life of a dishwasher is normally distributed. Find the number of years that the bottom 10% of dishwasher would last. Round answer to 2 decimal places. 2. Question: The size of fish is very important to commercial fishing. A study conducted in 2012 found the length of Atlantic cod caught in nets in Karlskrona to have a mean of 47.8 cm and a s...
