2. The administration of Georgia hospital surveyed the number of days 200 randomly chosen patients stayed in the hospital following an operation. The data are: Hospital stay in days Frequency 13 18 46 90 79 44 10 12 21 13 15 9 16 18 9 19 21 4 22 - 24 5

A. Assuming the distribution to be roughly bell shaped, how many stays can we expect between 0 and 17 days? 3. In a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 5.0, the probability that an observation selected at random exceeds 21 is 0.14. A. Find the mean of the distribution. B. Find the value below which 4 percent of the values in the distribution lie. 4. The GK Company received a big order to produce electric motors for a manufacturing company. In order to fit in its bearing, the drive shaft of the motor must have a diameter of 6.10.5 (inches). The companys purchasing agent realizes that there is a large stock of steel rods in inventory with a mean diameter of 6.07, and a standard deviation of 0.07. What is the probability of a steel rod from inventory fitting the bearing? 5. Beacon Med Inc, is developing a compact kidney dialysis machine, but its chief engineer, Crowe, is have trouble controlling the variability of the rate at which fluid moves through the device. Medical standards require that the hourly flow be 4 liters, plus or minus 0.1 liters, 80 percent of the time. Mr. Crowe, in testing the prototype, has found that 68 percent of the time, the hourly flow is within 0.08 liter of 4.02 liters. Does the prototype satisfy the medical standards?
