 In a certain community, 45% of the population has a blood type O.

Suppose a random sample of 80 people is

taken from this community
𝜇=36 2
𝜎 =19.86

 What is the probability that at least 37 will have blood type 0?

 What is the probability that less than 38 people will have blood type 0?
 Recovery times for patients on an exerciser for people with chronic lower back pain is normally distributed
with a mean of 24.75 and a variance of 59.29 minutes. A random sample of 15 people is taken from such
population.

 What is the probability that, their sample will have an average recovery time more than 25 minutes?

 Calculate the probability that their sample recovery time will have an average less than 23.5 minutes.
 Recovery times for patients on an exerciser for people with chronic lower back pain are normally distributed
a population variance of 59.29. A sample of 25 is taken from that population and gave a sample mean of
24.75. Construct an 80% confidence interval for the mean recovery time of the patient?
 Give the lower limit of the interval.

interval for the proportion of people not developing immunity

 Late payment of medical claims can add to the cost of health care. Suppose 84.9% of the claims were paid
in full when first submitted for one insurance company. The insurance company developed a new payment
system in an effort to increase this percentage. A sample of 230 claims processed under this system
revealed that 207 of the claims were paid in full when first submitted. At a 0.05 level of significance, is there
evidence that the population proportion of claims processed under this new system is higher than the
article reported for the previous system?

o Reject at 0.05 significance level

o Conclude that the population proportion of claims processed under this new system is higher than the
article reported for the previous system
 A college professor claims that the variance for the marks of the students taking statistics test to be 25%. He
randomly selects 30 tests, and the variance was found to be 28.8%. Test the professor’s claim at 0.05
significance level.

o or

o Fail at 5% significance level.

o Conclude that the variance of the marks is 25%.

 Two different surgical procedures were being compared with respect to the length of time (in days) to recovery.

 It is suspected that higher priced cars are assembled with greater care than lower priced cars. To investigate
whether there are any basis for this feeling, a large luxury model I, a medium size sedan II, and a small model III
were compared for defects when they arrived at the dealer’s showroom. All cars were manufactured by the same
company. The number of defects for several of the three models are recorded in the following table:

I 3 6 8 4 6 27 145.8

Model
II 3 4 7 5 3 2 24 96

III 8 5 8 9 4 34 231.2

 Perform the analysis of variance and test the hypothesis at the 0.01 level of significance that the average
number of defects of the three models are the same.

 A veterinary claim that the average duration of a certain disease observed in sheep is 5 days, with a
standard deviation of 5.2 days. A study of the duration of this disease was done on 16 sheep and gave a
mean of 6.2. Does the data present sufficient evidence to contradict the veterinary’s claim? Use 0.5
significance level.

o Reject at 0.5 significance level.

o Conclude that the average duration of a certain disease observed in sheep differs from 5 days.
 A study was done to compare individual’s perception of health and smoking history. Among 450 current male
smokers 45 reported that they had “poor” or “very poor” health. In another group of 280 former smokers 30
reported they had “poor” or “very poor” health. Is this sufficient evidence to allow one to conclude at a 0.5%
significance level that the proportion of former smokers who perceived themselves as having a “poor” or
“very poor” health is more than that one of the current smokers who perceived themselves as having a
“poor” or “very poor” health?

o Fail to reject at 0.5% significance level.

o Conclude that the proportion of former smokers who perceived themselves as having a “poor” or “very
poor” health is not more than that one of the current smokers.
