All homeworks should be turned in electronically to myCourses.
Homeworks are due by 10pm on the due date.
Submit each homework as two files: one text document (e.g., Word)
with tables/figures included inline, formatted in MLA style or similar;
and one Excel spreadsheet showing the work you did to produce the
results in the text document.
Please name your files starting with your last name, e.g., "Doe_Jane_HW1.doc" and
"Doe_Jane_HW1.xls".

(7-34(c): replace "... will have an average ..." with "... will indicate an adjustment is needed.")
34(a): 12.65%, (b): 95.68%, (c): 9.424
40: probability that the filling process works as expected is essentially zero
- p.296, #7-56, 7-64
56(a): 9.58%, (b): 34.54%, (c): 64.72%
64(b): 6/36 = 0.17, (c): 1-BINOMDIST(5,36,.13,1) = 32.38%, or using normal
approximation, 1-NORMDIST(6/36, .13, SQRT((6/36)*(1-6/36)/36), 1) = 27.75%.
- p.301, #7-84, 7-88
84: BINOMDIST(.68*500, 500, .7, 1) = 17.67%, or using normal approx,
NORMDIST(0.68,0.7,SQRT(0.68*(1-0.68)/500),1) = 16.89%. Doubt the claim.
88(a): 221.67, (b): 38.33, (c): probability that there was no change is essentially zero, so fares did change.

16(a): 318, (b): normal, (c): 284.63 to 351.37, (d): no, outside the conf int.
22: Scorpion: 1.47 to 1.91, Vanguard: 0.32 to 0.41. yes, Scorpion's visibility is higher.
