Suppose that when the pH of a certain chemical compound is 5.00, the pH measured by a randomly selected beginning chemistry student is a random variable with mean 5.00 and standard deviation .2. A large batch of the compound is subdivided and a sample given to each student in a morning lab and each student in an afternoon lab. Let X = the aver- age pH as determined by the morning students and Y = the average pH as determined by the afternoon students. a. If pH is a normally distributed random variable and there are 25 students in each lab, compute P1-.1 X - Y .12 . (Hint: X - Y is a linear combination of normal variables, so it is normally distributed. Compute mX -Y and sX -Y .)
b. If there are 36 students in each lab, but pH deter- minations are not assumed normal, calculate (ap- proximately) P1-.1 X - Y .12 .

If (17, 4) is an ordered pair of the inverse of f(x), which of the following is an ordered pair of the function f(x)? a. (17,4) b. (4.17) c. (4,0) d. 0,17)

60 musicians applied for a job at a music school. 14 of the musicians play both guitar and drums, 28 play drums, 18 play the guitar. what is the probability that the applicant who gets the job plays drums or guitar?

1. an economy consists of three workers: larry, moe, and curly. each works 10 hours a day and can produce two services: mowing lawns and washing cars. in an hour, larry can either mow one lawn or wash one car; moe can either mow one lawn or wash two cars; and curly can either mow two lawns or wash one car. a. calculate how much of each service is produced under the following circumstances: a. all three spend all their time mowing lawns. b. all three spend all their time washing cars. c. all three spend half their time on each activity d. larry spends half of his time on each activity, while moe only washes cars and curly only mows lawns b. using your answers to part a, draw a production possibilities frontier and label points a, b, c, and d on your graph. explain why the production possibilities frontier has the shape it does. c. are any of the allocations calculated in part a inefficient? explain.
