Probability and Statistical Inference 9
Let \(m\) denote the median weight of 80-pound bags of water softener pellets. Use the following random sample of \(n=14\) weights to find an approximate 95% confidence interval for \(m\): \(\begin{array}{lllllll} 80.51 & 80.28 & 80.40 & 80.35 & 80.38 & 80.28 & 80.27 \\ 80.16 & 80.59 & 80.56 & 80.32

Introduction to Probability 1
One of two doctors, Dr. Hibbert and Dr. Nick, is called upon to perform a series of n surgeries. Let H be the indicator r.v. for Dr. Hibbert performing the surgeries, and suppose that E(H) = p. Given that Dr. Hibbert is performing the surgeries, each surgery is successful with probability a, independ
