Acertain pen has been designed so that true average writing lifetime under controlled conditions (involving the use of a writing machine) is at least 10 hr. a random sample of 17 pens is selected, the writing lifetime of each is determined, and a normal probability plot of the resulting data support the use of a one-sample t test. the relevant hypotheses are h0: μ = 10 versus ha: μ < 10. (a) if t = −2.3 and α = 0.05 is selected, what conclusion is appropriate? reject fail to reject

You were told that the amount of time lapsed between consecutive trades on the new york stock exchange followed a normal distribution with a mean of 15 seconds. you were also told that the probability that the time lapsed between two consecutive trades to fall between 16 to 17 seconds was 13%. the probability that the time lapsed between two consecutive trades would fall below 13 seconds was 7%. what is the probability that the time lapsed between two consecutive trades will be between 14 and 15 seconds?

Will give a: 122 b: 90 c: 48 d: 180

4. (10.03 mc) the equation of line cd is y = −2x − 2. write an equation of a line parallel to line cd in slope-intercept form that contains point (4, 5). (4 points) y = −2x + 13 y = negative 1 over 2 x + 7 y = negative 1 over 2 x + 3 − 2x − 3
