P (3 σ n−1) ≤S n−1) )

This document contains 14 statistics problems involving concepts like confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and distributions. Problem 1 involves calculating the sample mean, standard deviation, and probabilities for a normal distribution. Problem 2 asks for the probability that the sample mean exceeds a value for an exponential distribution. The remaining problems involve setting confidence intervals, testing hypotheses, and calculating probabilities for samples from various populations and distributions.
