An investor believes that investing in domestic and international stocks will give a difference in the mean rate of return. They take two random samples of 15 months over the past 30 years and find the following rates of return from a selection of domestic (Group 1) and international (Group 2) investments. Can they conclude that there is a difference at the 0.10 level of significance? Assume the data is normally distributed with unequal variances. Use a confidence interval method. Round to 4 decimal places. Average Group 1 = 2.1234, SD Group 1 = 4.8765, n1 = 15

Average Group 2 = 3.0945, SD Group 2 = 5.1115, n2 = 15

Amachine that produces a special type of transistor (a component of computers) has a 2% defective rate. the production is considered a random process where each transistor is independent of the others. (a) what is the probability that the 10th transistor produced is the first with a defect? (b) what is the probability that the machine produces no defective transistors in a batch of 100? (c) on average, how many transistors would you expect to be produced before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (d) another machine that also produces transistors has a 5% defective rate where each transistor is produced independent of the others. on average how many transistors would you expect to be produced with this machine before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (e) based on your answers to parts (c) and (d), how does increasing the probability of an event a↵ect the mean and standard deviation of the wait time until success?
