Performance by a student in this course depends on his/her marks obtained in the quizzes and his/her marks obtained in the exams. Let us denote the following random variables: X: marks obtained in the quizzes Y : marks obtained in the exams Z: performance in the course Assume that the mean and standard deviation of Z are µZ and σZ, respectively. Further assume that X and Y are related to Z as X = aZ Y = b + cZ...

In a class consisting 5 students, the original scores (X) for the 5 students on a certain exam are: 25,36,49,64,81. The instructor decides to curve the original scores, and the following two formulas are considered: Y = 0.5X + 50 Z = 10(√ X) (a) Find µX, σX, the mean and standard deviation of the original scores. (For σX, you may round to the nearest integer if necessary.) (b) Find µY , σY , without computing the values of Y...

Let x represent the dollar amount spent on supermarket impulse buying in a 10-minute (unplanned) shopping interval. Based on a certain article, the mean of the x distribution is about $28 and the estimated standard deviation is about $8. (a) Consider a random sample of n = 50 customers, each of whom has 10 minutes of unplanned shopping time in a supermarket. From the central limit theorem, what can you say about the probability distribution of x, the average amount...

1. Suppose the equation p(x,y)=-2x^2+80x-3y^2+90+100 models profit when x represents the number of handmade chairs and y is the number of handmade rockers produced per week. (1) How many chairs and how many rockers will give the maximum profit when there is not constraint? (2) Due to an insufficient labor force they can only make a total of 20 chairs and rockers per week (x + y = 20). So how many chairs and how many rockers will give the...
