Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(X<480)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{480-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z<\frac{480-412}{68})=P(z<1)[/tex]

[tex]P(z<1)=0.841[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

[tex]X \sim N(412,68)[/tex]  

Where [tex]\mu=412[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=68[/tex]

We are interested on this probability

[tex]P(X<480)[/tex]

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

[tex]P(X<480)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{480-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z<\frac{480-412}{68})=P(z<1)[/tex]

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel and we got:

Answers

Answer:

A. Control group  

Step-by-step explanation:

A control group is a group in an experiment or study that does not receive experimental procedure during such that it is then used as a benchmark to measure how the other tested subjects do.

An experimental group is a group in an experiment or study that receives an experimental procedure. The values of gotten from the test are recorded and the effect of independent variables on the dependent variables are determined.

Control experiment can be used to determine whether or not the customers are friendly. Experimental group will be the customers whom the waiter is extra friendly toward. The control group will be the alternate customer whom the waiter is not extra friendly toward.          

Solve, graph, and give interval notation for the inequality:

4(3x − 4) < 32 AND 2x + 1 ≤ 8x + 25

Answers

Answer:

The answer to your question is

Step-by-step explanation:

Inequality 1

                             4(3x - 4) < 32

                             12x - 16 < 32

                             12x < 32 + 16

                              12x < 48

                                 x < 48/12

                                 x < 4

Inequality 2

                           2x + 1 ≤ 8x + 25

                           2x - 8x ≤ 25 - 1

                               - 6x ≤ 24

                                   x ≥ 24/-6

                                   x ≥ - 4

- See the graph below

- Interval [-4, 4)

Final answer:

To solve the inequality system, we divide both sides of each inequality by the respective coefficient to isolate the variable. The solutions are x < 4 and -4 ≤ x. The graph of the solution is a number line with an open circle at 4 and a shaded region to the left, and a closed circle at -4 and a shaded region to the right.

Explanation:

To solve the inequality 4(3x - 4) < 32, we divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to isolate the variable. This gives us 3x - 4 < 8. Adding 4 to both sides of the inequality gives us 3x < 12.

Finally, dividing both sides of the inequality by 3 gives us x < 4.

For the inequality 2x + 1 ≤ 8x + 25, we subtract 2x from both sides of the inequality to isolate the variable. This gives us 1 ≤ 6x + 25. Subtracting 25 from both sides of the inequality gives us -24 ≤ 6x.

Finally, dividing both sides of the inequality by 6 gives us -4 ≤ x.

The solutions to the inequality system are x < 4 and -4 ≤ x. The graph of the solution would be a number line with an open circle at 4 and a shaded region to the left, and a closed circle at -4 and a shaded region to the right.

The interval notation for the solution is (-∞, 4) and [-4, ∞).

Answers

Final answer:

The negations of the given predicate logic statements are expressed by switching the quantifiers (∀ and ∃) and adding negation symbols (¬) directly before the predicates, resulting in new statements that oppose the original ones.

Explanation:

The goal is to express the negation of each of the given predicate logic statements such that all negation symbols immediately precede predicates.

For the statement ∃z∀y∀xT(x, y, z), the negation would be ∀z∃y∃x¬T(x, y, z), which states that there is no z for which every y and every x make T(x, y, z) true.The negation of ∃x∃yP(x, y) ∧ ∀x∀yQ(x, y) is ∀x∀y¬P(x, y) ∨ ∃x∃y¬Q(x, y), meaning there are no such x and y that P(x, y) is true or there exists some x and y for which Q(x, y) is not true.For ∃x∃y(Q(x, y) ↔ Q(y, x)), the negation would be ∀x∀y¬(Q(x, y) ↔ Q(y, x)), indicating that for all x and y, it is not the case that Q(x, y) if and only if Q(y, x).The negation of the statement ∀y∃x∃z(T(x, y, z) ∨ Q(x, y)) is ∃y∀x∀z(¬T(x, y, z) ∧ ¬Q(x, y)), stating there exists a y such that for all x and z, neither T(x, y, z) nor Q(x, y) are true.

In a study of environmental lead exposure and IQ, the data was collected from 148 children in Boston, Massachusetts. Their IQ scores at age of 10 approximately follow a normal distribution with mean of 115.9 and standard deviation of 14.2. Suppose one child had an IQ of 74. The researchers would like to know whether an IQ of 74 is an outlier or not.

Calculate the lower fence for the IQ data, which is the lower limit value that the IQ score can be without being considered an outlier. Keep a precision level of two decimal places for the lower fence.

Answers

Answer:

a) Lower inner fence = 77.6168 = 77.62 to 2 d.p

Lower outer fence = 48.9044 = 48.90 to 2 d.p

b) The probability of obtaining an IQ score value of 74 or less is P(x ≤ 74) is 0.00159

Step-by-step explanation:

Lower inner and outer fences are used to illustrate or write off extreme values of a data set (the outliers).

Lower inner fence = Q₁ – (1.5 × IQR)

Lower outer fence = Q₁ – (3 × IQR)

Q₁ = 25th percentile = lower quartile

IQR = Inter quartile Range = Q₃ - Q₁

Q₃ = 75th percentile = upper quartile

To calculate Q₁ for a normal distribution with only mean and standard deviation known,

We need the standardized score whose probability is 0.25 P(z) = 0.25

From the normal distribution table

z = (± 0.674)

z = (x - xbar)/σ

x = the value in the data we're interested in,

xbar = mean = 115.9

σ = standard deviation = 14.2

Lower quartile corresponds to (z = - 0.674)

- 0.674 = (x - 115.9)/14.2

Q₁ = X = 106.3292

The upper quartile, Q₃ corresponds to z = (+0.674)

Q₃ = 125.4708

IQR = 125.4708 - 106.3292 = 19.1416

Lower inner fence = Q₁ – (1.5 × IQR)

Lower outer fence = Q₁ – (3 × IQR)

Lower inner fence = 106.3292 - (1.5 × 19.1416) = 106.3292 - 28.7124 = 77.6168

Lower outer fence = 106.3292 – (3 × 19.1416) = 48.9044

b) The probability of obtaining an IQ score value of 74 or less is P(x ≤ 74)

We standardize 74 by obtaining its z-score

z = (x - xbar)/σ

z = (74 - 115.9)/14.2 = - 2.95

P(x ≤ 74) = P(z ≤ -2.95) = 0.00159 (Obtained from normal distribution tables)

Final answer:

The lower fence for the IQ data, which determines whether an IQ score is an outlier, is calculated as the mean minus two times the standard deviation. In this case, the lower fence is 87.5, which makes an IQ score of 74 an outlier as it falls significantly below this threshold.

Explanation:

To determine if an IQ score is an outlier, we often use the interquartile range (IQR) and calculate the fences. However, since the data is approximately normally distributed and we have the mean and standard deviation, we can also consider an IQ score to be an outlier if it falls more than two standard deviations from the mean. In this question, we do not have the IQR, so we'll use standard deviations to calculate the outlier threshold.

The mean IQ score is 115.9 and the standard deviation is 14.2. An outlier is typically defined as a value that is more than two or three standard deviations away from the mean. These thresholds are sometimes called the outer fences in statistical outlier detection. Using two standard deviations, we can calculate the lower limit as follows:

Lower Limit = Mean - 2 × Standard Deviation
Lower Limit = 115.9 - 2(14.2)
Lower Limit = 115.9 - 28.4
Lower Limit = 87.5

Therefore, an IQ score of 74 is considerably lower than the lower limit of 87.5, suggesting that it could indeed be considered an outlier.

A sports statistician is interested in determining if there is a relationship between the number of home team and visiting team losses and different sports. A random sample of 526 games is selected and the results are given below. Find the critical value chi Subscript alpha Superscript 2 to test the claim that the number of home team and visiting team losses is independent of the sport. Use alphaequals0.01. Round to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The critical value would be: [tex]\chi^2_{crit}=11.345[/tex] and we use the following excel code to find it: "=CHISQ.INV(1-0.01,3)"

[tex]p_v = P(\chi^2_{3} >3.29)=0.349[/tex]

And we can find the p value using the following excel code:

"=1-CHISQ.DIST(3.29,3,TRUE)"

Since the p value is higher than the significance level we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance that the two variables are independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A chi-square goodness of fit test "determines if a sample data matches a population".

A chi-square test for independence "compares two variables in a contingency table to see if they are related. In a more general sense, it tests to see whether distributions of categorical variables differ from each another".

Assume the following dataset:

                      F          B         S      Bs     Total

home wins    39      156      25      83      303

Visitor wins   31       98        19      75       223

Total              70      254     44      158      526

We need to conduct a chi square test in order to check the following hypothesis:

H0: The number of home team and visiting team losses is independent of the sport.

H1: The number of home team and visiting team losses is dependent of the sport.

The level of significance assumed for this case is [tex]\alpha=0.01[/tex]

The statistic to check the hypothesis is given by:

[tex]\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(O_i -E_i)^2}{E_i}[/tex]

The table given represent the observed values, we just need to calculate the expected values with the following formula [tex]E_i = \frac{total col * total row}{grand total}[/tex]

And the calculations are given by:

[tex]E_{1} =\frac{70*303}{526}=40.32[/tex]

[tex]E_{2} =\frac{254*303}{526}=146.32[/tex]

[tex]E_{3} =\frac{44*303}{526}=25.35[/tex]

[tex]E_{4} =\frac{158*303}{526}=91.02[/tex]

[tex]E_{5} =\frac{70*223}{526}=29.68[/tex]

[tex]E_{6} =\frac{254*223}{526}=107.68[/tex]

[tex]E_{7} =\frac{44*223}{526}=18.65[/tex]

[tex]E_{8} =\frac{158*223}{526}=66.98[/tex]

And the expected values are given by:

                        F           B            S          Bs     Total

home wins    40.32   146.32    25.35    91.02    303

Visitor wins   29.68   107.68    18.65    66.98    223

Total                70         254         44        158      526

And now we can calculate the statistic:

[tex]\chi^2 = \frac{(39-40.32)^2}{40.32}+\frac{(156-146.32)^2}{146.32}+\frac{(25-25.35)^2}{25.35}+\frac{(83-91)^2}{91}+\frac{(31-29.68)^2}{29.68}+\frac{(98-107.68)^2}{107.68}+\frac{(19-18.65)^2}{18.65}+\frac{(75-66.98)^2}{66.98} =3.29[/tex]Now we can calculate the degrees of freedom for the statistic given by:

[tex]df=(rows-1)(cols-1)=(4-1)(2-1)=3[/tex]

The critical value would be: [tex]chi^2_{crit}=11.345[/tex] and we use the following excel code to find it: "=CHISQ.INV(1-0.01,3)"

And we can calculate the p value given by:

[tex]p_v = P(\chi^2_{3} >3.29)=0.349[/tex]

And we can find the p value using the following excel code:

"=1-CHISQ.DIST(3.29,3,TRUE)"

Since the p value is higher than the significance level we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance that the two variables are independent.

Exercise 1.28. We have an urn with m green balls and n yellow balls. Two balls are drawn at random. What is the probability that the two balls have the same color? (a) Assume that the balls are sampled without replacement. (b) Assume that the balls are sampled with replacement. (c) When is the answer to part (b) larger than the answer to part (a)? Justify your answer. Can you give an intuitive explanation for what the calculation tells you?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that we  have an urn with m green balls and n yellow balls. Two balls are drawn at random.

a) Assume that the balls are sampled without replacement.

m green and n yellow balls

For 2 balls to be drawn at the same colour

no of ways = either 2 green or 2 blue = mC2+nC2

Total no of ways = (m+n)C2

Prob =

= [tex]\frac{mC2 +nC2}{(m+n)C2} \\=\frac{m(m-1)+n(n-1)}{(m+n)(m+n-1)}[/tex]

=[tex]\frac{m^2+n^2-m-n}{(m+n)(m+n-1)}[/tex]

B) Assume that the balls are sampled with replacement

In this case, probability for any draw for yellow or green will be constant as

n/M+n or m/m+n respectively

Reqd prob = [tex](\frac{m}{m+n} )^2 +(\frac{n}{m+n} )^2[/tex]

=[tex]\frac{m^2+n^2}{(m+n)^2}[/tex]

c) Part B prob will be more than part a because with replacement prob is more than without replacement.

II time drawing same colour changes to m-1/.(m+n-1) if with replacement but same as m/(m+n) without replacement

[tex]\frac{m}{m+n} >\frac{m-1}{m+n-1} \\m^2+mn-m>m^2+mn-m-n\\n>0[/tex]

Since n>0 is true always, b is greater than a.

Final answer:

The question explores the concept of probability within scenarios of drawing balls of different colors from an urn, with and without replacement. It explores how the number of balls left in the urn changes the likelihood of drawing two balls of the same color. The answer is calculated using mathematical odds and conditions, showing that replacement affects probability especially when the total number of items (balls in this case) is small.

Explanation:

The subject of this question is probability, specifically conditional probability and probability with and without replacement. Here are the calculations needed to answer the question:

(a) When the balls are drawn without replacement, the probability that the two balls drawn have the same color is the sum of the probability of drawing two green balls and the probability of drawing two yellow balls. The probability of drawing two green balls is (m/(m+n)) * ((m-1)/(m+n-1)). Similarly, the probability of drawing two yellow balls is (n/(m+n)) * ((n-1)/(m+n-1)). The sum of these two probabilities gives the required probability. (b) When the balls are drawn with replacement, the same logic applies; however, since the balls are replaced, the denominator term doesn't decrease for the second draw. Thus, the probability of drawing two green balls is (m/(m+n)) * (m/(m+n)), and the probability of two yellow balls is (n/(m+n)) * (n/(m+n)). (c) The answer to part (b) becomes larger than the answer to part (a) when m and n are small numbers. This is because, when m and n are small, the probability of drawing a similarly colored ball in the second draw becomes more significant if the ball is replaced after the first draw, compared to if it is not replaced, causing the probability with replacement to be higher.

In a nutshell, the calculation for probability tells us how likely an outcome is, given the mathematical odds and conditions (in this case, if the balls are replaced or not after drawing).

The game of European roulette involves spinning a wheel with 37 slots: 18 red, 18 black, and 1 green. A ball is spun onto the wheel and will eventually land in a slot, where each slot has an equal chance of capturing the ball. Gamblers can place bets on red or black. If the ball lands on their color, they double their money. If it lands on another color, they lose their money.(a) Suppose you play roulette and bet $3 on a single round. What is the expected value and standard deviation of your total winnings?(b) Suppose you bet $1 in three dierent rounds. What is the expected value and standard deviation of your total winnings?(c) How do your answers to parts (a) and (b) compare? What does this say about the riskiness of the two games?

Answers

Answer:

a) E(X) = -$0.0813 , s.d (X) = 3

b) E(X) = -$0.0813 , s.d (X) = 3

c) expected loss and higher stakes of loosing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- There are total 37 slots:

           Red = 18

           Black = 18

           Green = 1

- Player on bets on either Red or black

- Wins double the bet money, loss the best is lost

Find:

a) Expected value of earnings X if we place a bet of $3

b) Expected value and standard deviation if we bet $1 each on three rounds

c) compare the two answers in a and b and comment on the riskiness of the two games

Solution:

- Define variable X as the total winnings per round. We will construct a distribution tables for total winnings per round for bets of $3 and $ 1:

- Bet: $3

         X                   -3                          3                              E(X)

        P(X)           1-0.48 = 0.5135      18/37 = 0.4864    3*(.4864-.52135) = -0.08

-The s.d(X) = sqrt(9*(0.5135 + 0.4864) - (-0.08)^2) = 3.0

- Bet: $1

         X                   -1                          1                          E (X)      

        P(X)        1-0.48 = 0.5135      18/37 = 0.4864   1*(.4864-.5135) = -0.0271

-The s.d(X) = sqrt(1*(0.5135 + 0.4864) - (-0.0271)^2) = 0.999

- The expected value for 3 rounds is:

                       E(X_1 + X_2 + X_3) = E(X_1) + E(X_2) + E(X_3)

- The above X winnings are independent from each round, hence:

                       E(3*X_1) = 3*E(X_1) = 3*(-0.0271) = -0.0813

- The standard deviation for 3 rounds is:

              sqrt(Var(X_1 + X_2 + X_3)) = sqrt(Var(X_1) + Var(X_2) + Var(X_3))

- The above X winnings are independent from each round, hence:

                       sqrt(Var(3*X_1)) = 3*Var(X_1) = 3*(0.999) = 2.9988

- For above two games are similar with an expected loss of $0.0813 for playing the game and stakes are very high due to high amount of deviation for +/- $3 of winnings.

Final answer:

In the game of European roulette, betting $1 in three different rounds is less risky than betting $3 in one round as it has a lower expected loss and lower variability.

Explanation:

In the game of roulette, the probability of winning (i.e. the ball landing on either red or black) is 18/37, and the probability of losing (the ball landing on green) is 1/37.

(a) When you bet $3 on a single round, the expected value of your winnings is given by (18/37 * $6) - (19/37 * $3) = -$0.081, and the standard deviation is sqrt([$6-$(-0.081)]^2 * 18/37 + [-$3-$(-0.081)]^2 * 19/37) = $2.899.

(b) When you bet $1 in three different rounds, the expected value of your winnings is 3 * [ (18/37 * $2) - (19/37 * $1) ] = -$0.243, and the standard deviation is sqrt(3 * [(($2-$(-0.081))^2 * 18/37) + (($-1-$(-0.081))^2 * 19/37)]) = $1.578.

(c) If we compare the two games, it is clear that betting $1 in three different rounds decreases both the expected loss and the variability of the results, indicating that the latter game is less risky.

An experiment was performed upon rats to investigate the effect of ingesting Alar (a chemical sprayed on apple trees to keep fruit from dropping before ripe) upon subsequent cancer rates.
The following variables were measured:
gender (0=female, 1=male); weight (g); dose of Alar (nil, low, high); and number of tumors.
Which of the following is FALSE?

A) Gender is categorical; dose is ordinal
B) Gender is discrete; weight is continuous
C) Number of tumors is categorical
D) Dose is discrete
E) Weight is continuous

Answers

Answer:

Option C and D are false

Step-by-step explanation:

All the mentioned option are correct in the given scenario except option C and D.

The reason is that dose is categorized as nil, low and high so, dose is categorical variable. Also, number of tumors is quantitative variable because it can be meaningfully interpreted in numerical form. The number if tumors is discrete quantitative variable.

Now consider all options

A) Gender is categorical ; dose is ordinal

This option is true because gender can be categorized into male and female and also dose is ordinal because it has order i.e. nil,low and high.

B) Gender is discrete; weight is continuous

This option is false because gender can be a discrete variable and weight is continuous variable because it is measurable. So, the statement is true.

Option C and D are already discussed an option E is discussed in option B.

Final answer:

The false statement is C) Number of tumors is categorical. The number of tumors is a discrete variable that involves countable values, not a categorical variable.

Explanation:

In this experiment, we have different types of variables. The statement C) Number of tumors is categorical is false. The number of tumors is actually a discrete variable as it involves countable values. The other statements are correct: A) Gender is categorical; dose is ordinal, as gender is divided into male and female, which is a categorical classification, and the dose is ranked as nil, low, high which makes it an ordinal variable. Statement B) Gender is discrete; weight is continuous is also correct because gender is a discrete variable (only two possible values, male or female), and weight is a continuous variable as it can take any value within a certain range. Statement D) Dose is discrete is correct, as the dose can only take certain values (nil, low, high) it is considered a discrete variable. Lastly, E) Weight is continuous is accurate as Weight can take any value within a range and it involves measurement.

The perimeter of the window of the camper shell is 130 in. Find the length of one of the shorter sides of the window.
in

Answers

You can't deduce the length of a side from the perimeters of a rectangle.

Say that [tex]s[/tex] and [tex]S[/tex] are, respectively, the short and long side of the rectangle.

So, we know that

[tex]2s+2S=130 \iff 2(s+S)=130 \iff s+S=65[/tex]

But we can't solve exactly for [tex]s[/tex] nor for [tex]S[/tex], unless more information is given.

Final answer:

The length of one of the shorter sides of the window cannot be explicitly determined without additional information. However, considering the window has a rectangular shape, the length of the shorter side should be less than half of the total perimeter, in this case, less than 65 inches.

Explanation:

To find the length of one of the shorter sides of the window, we must first understand that the perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by the formula: 2*length + 2*width = Perimeter.

However, the problem doesn't specify the dimensions of the box, but it does tell us that one pair of sides (the length and the width) are not equal. This suggests that the window is a rectangle. If we assume that the length of the window is longer than the width (length > width), then the shorter sides of the rectangle (the widths) will be of equal length.

Without more details, we can't calculate the exact measurement of the length of one of the shorter sides, but we can say that it should be less than half of the total perimeter, which is less than 65 inches.

Defects in a product occur at random according to a Poisson distribution with parameter ???? = 0.04. What is the probability that a product has one or more defects? If the manufacturing process of the product is improved and the occurrence rate of defects is cut in half to ???? = 0.02. What effect does this have on the probability that the product has one or more defects?

Answers

Answer:

When the occurrence rate of defect is cut in half, the probability of a product having one or more defects drops drastically (0.0392 to 0.0198), to almost the half of its original value too.

Step-by-step explanation:

Poisson distribution formula

P(X=x) = f(x) = (λˣe^(-λ))/x!

λ = 0.04.

And the probability that a products one or more defects is the same thing as 1 minus the probability that a product has no defect.

P(X ≥ 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - f(0)

P(X ≥ 1) = 1 - (0.04⁰e^(-0.04))/0! = 1 - 0.9608 = 0.0392

When the occurrence rate of defect is cut in half, that is, λ = 0.02,

P(X ≥ 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - f(0)

P(X ≥ 1) = 1 - (0.02⁰e^(-0.02))/0! = 1 - 0.9802 = 0.0198

When the occurrence rate of defect is cut in half, the probability of a product having one or more defects drops drastically, to almost the half of its original value too.

The number of contaminating particles on a silicon wafer prior to a certain rinsing process was determined for each wafer in a sample of size 100, resulting in the following frequencies:
Number of particles: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, , 5, 6, 7
Frequency: 1, 2, 3, 12, 11, 15, 18, 10
Number of particles: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
Frequency: 12, 4, 5, 3, 1, 2, 1
(a.) What proportion of the sampled wafers had at least one particle? At least five particles?
(b.) What proportion of the sampled wafers had between five and ten particles, inclusive? Strictly between five and ten particles?
(c.) Draw a histogram using relative frequency on the vertical axis. How would you describe the shape of the histogram.

Answers

Final answer:

The proportion of sample wafers that had at least one particle is 96%, those with at least five particles is 71%. For wafers between five and ten particles (inclusive), the proportion is 64%, and strictly between five and ten particles it is 44%. The histogram based on the given data would appear roughly bell-shaped with a right skew.

Explanation:

(a.) To calculate the proportion of sampled wafers that had at least one particle, we sum the frequencies of all groups with one or more particles and divide by the total sample size. So, the proportion is given by: (2+3+12+11+15+18+10+12+4+5+3+1+2+1)/100 = 96/100 = 0.96 or 96%.

Similarly, for wafers with at least five particles, the calculation is: (15+18+10+12+4+5+3+1+2+1)/100 = 71/100 = 0.71 or 71%.

(b.) For wafers with between five and ten particles (inclusive), we sum frequencies from 5 to 10 particles, giving (15+18+10+12+4+5)/100 = 64/100 = 0.64 or 64%.

For wafers strictly between five and ten particles (i.e., 6 to 9 particles inclusive), the calculation is: (18+10+12+4)/100 = 44/100 = 0.44 or 44%.

(c.) A histogram with relative frequency would show the proportion of wafers (y-axis) against the number of particles (x-axis). Given the distribution of frequencies, it might be expected that the histogram appears roughly bell-shaped, though the peak would be skewed to the right considering higher numbers around 5 to 8 particles.

[tex] P(X=3) =(25C3)(0.3089)^3 (1-0.3089)^{25-3}= 0.02[/tex]  

[tex] P(X=4) =(25C4)(0.3089)^4 (1-0.3089)^{25-4}=0.049[/tex]  

[tex] P(X=5) =(25C5)(0.3089)^5 (1-0.3089)^{25-5}=0.092[/tex]  

[tex]P(X=6)=(25C6) (0.3089)^6 (1-0.3089)^{25-6} = 0.138[/tex]

[tex] P(X=7) =(25C7)(0.3089)^7 (1-0.3089)^{25-7}=0.167[/tex]

[tex] P(X=8) =(25C8)(0.3089)^8 (1-0.3089)^{25-8}=0.168[/tex]

And in order to do the operations we can use the following excel code:

According to a survey of adults, 64 percent have money in a bank savings account. If we were to survey 50 randomly selected adults, find the mean number of adults who would have bank savings accounts.

Answers

Answer:

The mean number of adults who would have bank savings accounts is 32.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each adult surveyed, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have bank savings accounts, or they do not. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

In this problem, we have that:

[tex]p = 0.64[/tex]

If we were to survey 50 randomly selected adults, find the mean number of adults who would have bank savings accounts.

This is E(X) when [tex]n = 50[/tex].

So

[tex]E(X) = np = 50*0.64 = 32[/tex]

The mean number of adults who would have bank savings accounts is 32.

The data below represent the top speed (in kilometers per hour) of all the players (except goaltenders) in a certain soccer league.

Number of Players 5 Speed (km/hr) 10-13.9 14-17.9 18-21.9 22-25.9 26-29.9 30-33.9 16 80 259

Find (a) the number of classes, (b) the class limits for the third class, and (c) the class width

Answers

Answer:

a. 6

b. 18-21.9

c. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The number of classes can be assessed by counting the number of class intervals

S.no Class interval

1             10-13.9

2            14-17.9

3            18-21.9

4            22-25.9

5            26-29.9

6            30-33.9

Hence, there are 6 number of classes

b)

The class limits for third class is 18-21.9.

Upper class limit= 18

Lower class limit=21.9

c)

The class width can be calculated by taking difference of two consecutive upper class limits or two consecutive lower class limits.

Class width=14-10=4

Final answer:

The data represent the top speeds of players in a soccer league with 7 classes, the class limits for the third class are 18 to 21.9 km/hr, and the class width is 3.9 km/hr.

Explanation:

The data provided represents the top speed of soccer players in specific intervals known as classes. We can analyze the information to answer the student's queries as follows:

Number of classes: This is the number of intervals used to categorize the top speed. Simply count the number of intervals.Class limits for the third class: These are the boundaries of the third speed interval. Look at the lower and upper bounds of the third interval.Class width: This is the difference between the upper and lower class limits. Calculate it by subtracting the lower limit of any class from its upper limit.

Based on the data provided, if we assume that the sequence goes like 10-13.9, 14-17.9, 18-21.9, and so on, we can derive the following:

The number of classes is 7, since there are 7 speed intervals.The class limits for the third class are 18 km/hr (lower limit) and 21.9 km/hr (upper limit).The class width can be calculated by taking any interval, for example, 14-17.9. Subtracting 14 from 17.9 gives us a class width of 3.9 km/hr.

Suppose that the times required for a cable company to fix cable problems in the homes of its customers are uniformly distributed between 40 minutes and 65 minutes. What is the probability that a randomly selected cable repair visit falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean?

Answers

Answer: 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If a random variable x is uniformly distributed in [a,b] the

Mean = [tex]\dfrac{a+b}{2}[/tex]

Standard deviation : [tex]\sqrt{\dfrac{(b-a)^2}{12}}[/tex]

Let x =  Times required for a cable company to fix cable problems

As per given.

x is  uniformly distributed between 40 minutes and 65 minutes.

Then , mean = [tex]\dfrac{65+40}{2}=52.5[/tex] minutes

Standard deviation : [tex]\sqrt{\dfrac{(65-40)^2}{12}}\approx7.22[/tex]minutes

Consider , P (mean- 2(Standard deviation) < X < mean+2(Standard deviation) )

= P(52.5-2(7.22)< X <  52.5+2(7.22))

=P(38.06 <X < 66.94 ).

But x lies between 40 minutes and 65 minutes.

Also,   [40 minutes,  65 minutes]⊂ [38.06 minutes , 66.94 minutes]

Therefore ,P(38.06 <X < 66.94 ) =1

∴ The probability that a randomly selected cable repair visit falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean is 1.

The empirical rule states that 95% of the distribution is within 2 standard deviations of the mean,

Z score

Z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score is given by:

z = (x - μ)/σ

where x is the raw score, μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation.

(c) What percentage of students have an SAT math score between 415 and 515?

(d) What is the z-score for student with an SAT math score of 620?

(e) What is the z-score for a student with an SAT math score of 405?

Answers

Answer:

a) 16% of students have an SAT math score greater than 615.

b) 2.5% of students have an SAT math score greater than 715.

c) 34% of students have an SAT math score between 415 and 515.

d) [tex]Z = 1.05[/tex]

e) [tex]Z = -1.10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have to understand the normal probability distribution and the empirical rule.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Empirical rule

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 515, \sigma = 100[/tex]

(a) What percentage of students have an SAT math score greater than 615?

615 is one standard deviation above the mean.

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean. The other 32% are more than 1 standard deviation from the mean. The normal probability distribution is symmetric. So of those 32%, 16% are more than 1 standard deviation above the mean and 16% more then 1 standard deviation below the mean.

So, 16% of students have an SAT math score greater than 615.

(b) What percentage of students have an SAT math score greater than 715?

715 is two standard deviations above the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean. The other 5% are more than 2 standard deviations from the mean. The normal probability distribution is symmetric. So of those 5%, 2.5% are more than 2 standard deviations above the mean and 2.5% more then 2 standard deviations below the mean.

So, 2.5% of students have an SAT math score greater than 715.

(c) What percentage of students have an SAT math score between 415 and 515?

415 is one standard deviation below the mean.

515 is the mean

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean. The normal probability distribution is symmetric, which means that of these 68%, 34% are within 1 standard deviation below the mean and the mean, and 34% are within the mean and 1 standard deviation above the mean.

So, 34% of students have an SAT math score between 415 and 515.

(d) What is the z-score for student with an SAT math score of 620?

We have that:

[tex]\mu = 515, \sigma = 100[/tex]

This is Z when X = 620. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{620 - 515}{100}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.05[/tex]

(e) What is the z-score for a student with an SAT math score of 405?

We have that:

[tex]\mu = 515, \sigma = 100[/tex]

This is Z when X = 405. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{405 - 515}{100}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.10[/tex]

a. Approximately 15.87% of students have an SAT math score greater than 615.

b. Approximately 2.28% of students have an SAT math score greater than 715.

c. 68% percentage of students have an SAT math score between 415 and 515

d. 1.05 is the z-score for student with an SAT math score of 620

e. -1.1 is the z-score for a student with an SAT math score of 405

To answer these questions, we can use the properties of a bell-shaped distribution and the empirical rule. The empirical rule states that for a bell-shaped distribution:Approximately 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation of the mean. Approximately 95% of the data falls within two standard deviations of the mean.Approximately 99.7% of the data falls within three standard deviations of the mean.

Given information: Mean (μ) = 515 and Standard Deviation (σ) = 100

(a) To find this, we need to calculate the z-score for a score of 615 and then find the percentage of data above that z-score using the standard normal distribution table.

z-score = (X - μ) / σ

z-score = (615 - 515) / 100

z-score = 1

Using the standard normal distribution table (or calculator), we find that approximately 84.13% of the data is below a z-score of 1. Since the distribution is symmetric, the percentage above the z-score of 1 is also approximately 100% - 84.13% = 15.87%.

Therefore, approximately 15.87% of students have an SAT math score greater than 615.

(b) We repeat the same process for a score of 715.

z-score = (715 - 515) / 100

z-score = 2

Using the standard normal distribution table (or calculator), we find that approximately 97.72% of the data is below a z-score of 2. The percentage above the z-score of 2 is approximately 100% - 97.72% = 2.28%.

Therefore, approximately 2.28% of students have an SAT math score greater than 715.

(c) We can use the empirical rule to find the percentage of students within one standard deviation of the mean and then subtract that from 100% to find the percentage between 415 and 515.

Percentage between 415 and 515 ≈ 68%

(d) We can calculate the z-score as follows:

z-score = (620 - 515) / 100

z-score = 1.05

(e) We can calculate the z-score as follows:

z-score = (405 - 515) / 100

z-score = -1.1

Remember that a negative z-score indicates a value below the mean.

Note: These calculations assume a normal distribution, and the actual percentages may vary slightly due to the discrete nature of test scores and rounding in calculations.

A sociologist is studying the effect of having children within the first two years of marriage on the divorce rate. Using hospital birth records, she selects a random sample of 200 couples that had a child within the first two years of marriage. Following up on these couples, she finds that 80 couples are divorced within five years. Use Scenario 8-4. A 90% confidence interval for the proportion p of all couples that had a child within the first two years of marriage and are divorced within five years is 0.402 ± 0.056.a. All the answers are correct.b. Based on this interval, we can clearly see that the divorce rate is well below the 50% national average for all marriages.c. At the 10% alpha level, we would reject the claim that the divorce rate is 50% for couples who had a child within the first two years of marriage.d. Based on this interval, we can clearly see that the divorce rate is between 35% and 46%.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is (a).

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis of the study can be defined as:

H₀: The divorce rate is 50% for couples who had a child within the first two years of marriage, i.e. p = 0.50

Hₐ: The divorce rate is different from 50% for couples who had a child within the first two years of marriage, i.e. p ≠ 0.50

The 90% confidence interval is: 0.402 ± 0.056 = (0.346, 0.458) ≈ (0.35, 0.46)

The confidence level is 90%, the significance level (α) is:

[tex]\alpha =1-\frac{Confidence\ level}{100}\\=1-\frac{90}{100}\\ =0.10\ or\ 10\%[/tex]

Decision Rule:

If the null hypothesis value is not contained in the 90% confidence interval then the null hypothesis will be rejected and vice-versa.

Interpretation of the Confidence interval:

The confidence interval is (35%, 46%), this implies  divorce rate is less than 50% for couples who had a child within the first two years of marriage.At 10% significance level, the null hypothesis will be rejected stating that the divorce rate is different from 50% for couples who had a child within the first two years of marriage.The confidence interval clearly interprets that 90% of the divorce rate for couples who had a child within the first two years of marriage is between 35% and 46%.

Thus all the options are correct.

Final answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the proportion of couples who had a child within the first two years of marriage and are divorced within five years is 0.402 ± 0.056. Based on this interval, we can conclude that the divorce rate is between 35% and 46%.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the sociologist selected a random sample of 200 couples who had a child within the first two years of marriage. Out of these couples, 80 were found to be divorced within five years. The 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all couples that had a child within the first two years of marriage and are divorced within five years is given as 0.402 ± 0.056.

This means that we can be 90% confident that the true proportion of couples who had a child within the first two years of marriage and are divorced within five years lies between 0.402 - 0.056 and 0.402 + 0.056.

Therefore, the correct statement based on this interval is that the divorce rate is between 35% and 46%.
