weigh five pounds; what is the probability that the total weight of 300 balls randomly
drawn from the urn will be greater than 1200 pounds?
2) If one-third of the balls in a large (infinite) urn weigh one pound,

interval for the mean?

radius (margin of error) less than or equal to 2?
Quiz 7
1) If x-bar = 14 based on a sample of size 25, at what significance level (10%?,
5%?, 1%?) would you reject the null hypothesis that µ=16 and *sigma*^2=36?
(versus the alternative hypothesis µ *not equal* 16)
2) If x-bar = 14 based on a sample of size 25, at what significance level (10%?,
5%?, 1%?) would you reject the null hypothesis that µ *greater than or
equal to* 16 and *sigma*^2=36?
(versus the alternative hypothesis µ < 16)
3) If x-bar = 14 based on a sample of size 25, at what significance level (10%?,

equal to* 16 and *sigma*^2=36?
(versus the alternative hypothesis µ > 16)
Quiz 8
The weight of genuine coins is normally distributed with µ = 1 and *sigma* = 0.02, and the weight of counterfeit coins is normally distributed with µ = 0.90 and *sigma* = 0.05. Ninety percent of coins are genuine, and the other 10% are counterfeit.

than 0.95?

0.95 is genuine?
