Question 3
Your answer is INCORRECT.
Rainwater was collected in water collectors at thirty different sites near an industrial basin and the amount
of acidity (pH level) was measured. The mean and standard deviation of the values are 4.9 and 2.1
respectively. When the pH meter was recalibrated back at the laboratory, it was found to be in error. The
error can be corrected by adding 0.2 pH units to all of the values and then multiply the result by 1.4. Find
the mean and standard deviation of the corrected pH measurements.
a) mean = 7.14; standard deviation = 0.42
b) mean = 2.38; standard deviation = 2.94
c) mean = 2.38; standard deviation = 0.42
d) mean = 7.14; standard deviation = 2.94
e) mean = 7.06; standard deviation = 3.14
Question 4
Your answer is CORRECT.
Suppose that 60% of all trucks undergoing a brake inspection at a certain inspection facility pass the
inspection. Consider groups of 17 trucks and let X be the number of trucks in a group that have passed the
inspection. What is the probability that at least 10 but fewer than 13 trucks pass the inspection?
a) 0.60
b) 0.2160
c) 0.5145
d) 0.1839
e) 0.4014
