A survey was done among people aged 65 years or older.It was
found that they had a 30% of suffering from stroke.If they suffered
from stroke,then their chances of developing cardiovascular
complications were 70%.However,if they did not suffer fromj stroke
then they had a 25% chance of developing cardiovascular complications.
Find the probability of:
I)Experiencing one of the stated health problems.
ii)Experiencing at least one of the stated health problems.
b)A tire manufacturer designed a new ambulance tread pattern for its
all-weather tires.Repeated tests were conducted on ambulances of
approximately the same weight travelling at 60 kilometres per hour.The
tests showed that the new tread pattern enables the ambulances to stop
completely in an average distance of 125 metres with a standard
deviation of 6.5 meters and that the stopping distances are
approximately normally distributed.
I)What is the 70th percentile of the distribution of stopping distances?
ii)What is the probability that at least 2 ambulances out of 5
randomly selected cars in the study will stop in a distance that is
greater than the distance calculated in part(I) above?
iii)What is the probability that a randomly selected sample of 5
ambulances in the study will have a mean stopping distance of at least
130 feet?

Two drugs A and B were administered to two types of patients,and
Increase in sleeping times,in hours ,noted.There were 10 patients in
Each group,and the results were:
A:2.1 3.1 -0.1 -0.1 2.1 3.5 -2.4 5.5 4.8 -0.16
B:-1.1 2.1 -0.1 -1.1 3.1 0.8 -1.2 -0.6 2.5 -1.8
Test the hypothesis that A and B are equally effective at 5% level of
Significance.
Q12.The following numbers give the weights of 30 students in a Biology class.
I)Plot the frequency curve of the data.
ii)Calculate the mean weight
iii)Indicate the medianweight

An incomplete distribution is given below:
Classes 10-20 20-30 30-40 40-50 50-60 60-70 70-80 TOTAL
Frequency 12 30 a 65 b 25 18 229
You are further given that the median is 46.Use the median formula to
Fill in the missing frequencies,and calculate the mean.

Do not simply retype or paste a question from your book or study material
We won't do your homework questions for you.
You were given the assignment for you to learn.
If you come up with your own answer and post it for us to critique that is within reason.
If you have some SPECIFIC questions that you couldn't find or didn't understand, we may help with that.
But this is your assignment, so show us you have at least attempted to complete it on your own.

)For a group of 200 students,the mean and standard devaiations
were found to be 40 and 15 respectively.Later on,it was discovered
that the scores 43 and 35 were misread as 34 and 53 respectively.Find
the corrected mean and standard deviation corresponding to the
corrected figures.
