The probability density function of the length of a metal rod is f(x) = 2.0 for 2.3 < x < 2.8 meters. if the specifications for this process are from 2.25 to 2.75 meters, what proportion of the bars fail to meet the specifications? assume that the probability density function is f(x) = 2.0 for an interval of length 0.5 meters. over what value should the density be centered to achieve the greatest proportion of bars within specifications?

Data from 2005 for various age groups show that for each $100 increase in the median weekly income for whites, the median weekly income of blacks increases by $105. also, for workers of ages 25 to 54 the median weekly income for whites was $676 and for blacks was $527. (a) let w represent the median weekly income for whites and b the median weekly income for blacks, and write the equation of the line that gives b as a linear function of w. b = (b) when the median weekly income for whites is $760, what does the equation in (a) predict for the median weekly income for blacks?

The host of a game show is holding a bag with chips to see what prizes the contestants will play for. five (5) of the chips say “new car” ten (10) of the chips say “new tv” three (3) of the chips say “trip to france” contestant named “patty” reaches into the bag. a. what is the probability of choosing a tv chip? b. what is the probability of choosing a car chip next without replacing the 1st chip? c. are these dependent or independent events?
