## Student learning outcome:

• The student will evaluate data collected to determine if they fit either the uniform or exponential distributions.

## Collect the data

You may need to combine two categories so that each cell has an expected value of at least 5.

Go to your local supermarket. Ask 30 people as they leave for the total amount on their grocery receipts. (Or, ask 3 cashiers for the last 10 amounts. Be sure to include the express lane, if it is open.)

1. Record the values.
 __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________
2. Construct a histogram of the data. Make 5 - 6 intervals. Sketch the graph using a ruler and pencil. Scale the axes.
3. Calculate the following:
• $\overline{x}=$
• $s=$
• ${s}^{2}=$

## Uniform distribution

Test to see if grocery receipts follow the uniform distribution.

1. Using your lowest and highest values, $X$ ~ $U\left(\text{_______,_______}\right)$
2. Divide the distribution above into fifths.
3. Calculate the following:
• Lowest value =
• 20th percentile =
• 40th percentile =
• 60th percentile =
• 80th percentile =
• Highest value =
4. For each fifth, count the observed number of receipts and record it. Then determine the expected number of receipts and record that.

5th
5. ${H}_{o}$ :
6. ${H}_{a}$ :
7. What distribution should you use for a hypothesis test?
8. Why did you choose this distribution?
9. Calculate the test statistic.
10. Find the p-value.
11. Sketch a graph of the situation. Label and scale the x-axis. Shade the area corresponding to the p-value.
13. State your conclusion in a complete sentence.

## Exponential distribution

Test to see if grocery receipts follow the exponential distribution with decay parameter $\frac{1}{\overline{x}}$ .

1. Using $\frac{1}{\overline{x}}$ as the decay parameter, $X$ ~ $\text{Exp}\left(\text{_______}\right)$ .
2. Calculate the following:
• Lowest value =
• First quartile =
• 37th percentile =
• Median =
• 63rd percentile =
• 3rd quartile =
• Highest value =
3. For each cell, count the observed number of receipts and record it. Then determine the expected number of receipts and record that.

4. ${H}_{o}$
5. ${H}_{a}$
6. What distribution should you use for a hypothesis test?
7. Why did you choose this distribution?
8. Calculate the test statistic.
9. Find the p-value.
10. Sketch a graph of the situation. Label and scale the x-axis. Shade the area corresponding to the p-value.
12. State your conclusion in a complete sentence.

## Discussion questions

1. Did your data fit either distribution? If so, which?
2. In general, do you think it’s likely that data could fit more than one distribution? In complete sentences, explain why or why not.

how can chip be made from sand
is this allso about nanoscale material
Almas
are nano particles real
yeah
Joseph
Hello, if I study Physics teacher in bachelor, can I study Nanotechnology in master?
no can't
Lohitha
where is the latest information on a no technology how can I find it
William
currently
William
where we get a research paper on Nano chemistry....?
nanopartical of organic/inorganic / physical chemistry , pdf / thesis / review
Ali
what are the products of Nano chemistry?
There are lots of products of nano chemistry... Like nano coatings.....carbon fiber.. And lots of others..
learn
Even nanotechnology is pretty much all about chemistry... Its the chemistry on quantum or atomic level
learn
da
no nanotechnology is also a part of physics and maths it requires angle formulas and some pressure regarding concepts
Bhagvanji
hey
Giriraj
Preparation and Applications of Nanomaterial for Drug Delivery
revolt
da
Application of nanotechnology in medicine
has a lot of application modern world
Kamaluddeen
yes
narayan
what is variations in raman spectra for nanomaterials
ya I also want to know the raman spectra
Bhagvanji
I only see partial conversation and what's the question here!
what about nanotechnology for water purification
please someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think one can use nanoparticles, specially silver nanoparticles for water treatment.
Damian
yes that's correct
Professor
I think
Professor
Nasa has use it in the 60's, copper as water purification in the moon travel.
Alexandre
nanocopper obvius

what is the stm
is there industrial application of fullrenes. What is the method to prepare fullrene on large scale.?
Rafiq
industrial application...? mmm I think on the medical side as drug carrier, but you should go deeper on your research, I may be wrong
Damian
How we are making nano material?
what is a peer
What is meant by 'nano scale'?
What is STMs full form?
LITNING
scanning tunneling microscope
Sahil
how nano science is used for hydrophobicity
Santosh
Do u think that Graphene and Fullrene fiber can be used to make Air Plane body structure the lightest and strongest. Rafiq
Rafiq
what is differents between GO and RGO?
Mahi
what is simplest way to understand the applications of nano robots used to detect the cancer affected cell of human body.? How this robot is carried to required site of body cell.? what will be the carrier material and how can be detected that correct delivery of drug is done Rafiq
Rafiq
if virus is killing to make ARTIFICIAL DNA OF GRAPHENE FOR KILLED THE VIRUS .THIS IS OUR ASSUMPTION
Anam
analytical skills graphene is prepared to kill any type viruses .
Anam
Any one who tell me about Preparation and application of Nanomaterial for drug Delivery
Hafiz
what is Nano technology ?
write examples of Nano molecule?
Bob
The nanotechnology is as new science, to scale nanometric
brayan
nanotechnology is the study, desing, synthesis, manipulation and application of materials and functional systems through control of matter at nanoscale

1 It is estimated that 30% of all drivers have some kind of medical aid in South Africa. What is the probability that in a sample of 10 drivers: 3.1.1 Exactly 4 will have a medical aid. (8) 3.1.2 At least 2 will have a medical aid. (8) 3.1.3 More than 9 will have a medical aid.
