The expected value of a discrete random variable _____.
 a. is the most likely or highest probability value for the random variable
  b. will always be one of the values x can take on, although it may not be the highest probability value for the random variable
  c. is the average value for the random variable over many repeats of the experiment
  d. All of the answers are correct.

Question 2

A lathe is set to cut bars of steel into lengths of 6 centimeters. The lathe is considered to be in perfect adjustment if the average length of the bars it cuts is 6 centimeters. A sample of 121 bars is selected randomly and measured. It is determined that the average length of the bars in the sample is 6.08 centimeters with a standard deviation of .44 centimeters.
 a. Formulate the hypotheses to determine whether or not the lathe is in perfect adjustment.
  b. Compute the test statistic.
  c. Using the p-value approach, what is your conclusion? Let  = .05.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
