Significance with Range Rule of Thumb. In Exercises 31 and 32, assume that hybridization experiments are conducted with peas having the property that for offspring, there is a 0.75 probability that a pea has green pods (as in one of Mendel鈥檚 famous experiments).

Hybrids Assume that offspring peas are randomly selected in groups of 16.

a. Find the mean and standard deviation for the numbers of peas with green pods in the groups of 16.

b. Use the range rule of thumb to find the values separating results that are significantly low or significantly high.

c. Is a result of 7 peas with green pods a result that is significantly low? Why or why not?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The mean number of peas with green pods in the group of 16 is equal to 12.0. The standard deviation of the number of peas with green pods in a group of 16 is equal to 1.7.

b. Significantly high values are equal to or above 15.4.

Significantly low values are equal to below 8.6.

Insignificant values lie between 8.6 and 15.4.

c. No, the result of 7 peas with green pods is not significantly low as it is less than 8.6.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that a group of 16 peas is examined. The probability of a pea with green pods is equal to 0.75.

02

Mean and standard deviation 

a.

Here, the probability of a pea with a green pod is given to be equal to p=0.75.

The probability of a pea with any other colored pod is computed below:

q=1-p=1-0.75=0.25

The number of trials (n) is equal to 16.

Thus, the mean value is given as follows:

=np=160.75=12.0

Therefore, the mean number of peas with green pods is equal to 12.0.

The standard deviation is computed below:

=npq=160.750.25=1.7

Therefore, the standard deviation of the number of peas with green pods is equal to 1.7.

03

Range rule of thumb

b.

By using the range rule of thumb, the significantly low number of peas with green pods is computed below:

-2=12.0-21.7=8.6

Thus, the significantly low number of peas with green pods is8.6 or less.

The significantly high number of peas with green pods is computed below:

+2=12.0+21.7=15.4

Thus, the significantly high number of peas with green pods is15.4 or more.

Moreover, the values that are not significant will lie between 8.6and 15.4.

04

Examining the significance of a value 

c.

Here, the value of 7 is less than 8.6.

Therefore, the value of 7 peas with green pods can be considered significantly low as it is less than 8.6.

Currently, an average of 7 residents of the village of Westport (population 760) die each year (based on data from the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics).

a. Find the mean number of deaths per day.

b. Find the probability that on a given day, there are no deaths.

c. Find the probability that on a given day, there is more than one death.

d. Based on the preceding results, should Westport have a contingency plan to handle more than one death per day? Why or why not?

Composite Sampling. Exercises 33 and 34 involve the method of composite sampling, whereby a medical testing laboratory saves time and money by combining blood samples for tests so that only one test is conducted for several people. A combined sample tests positiveif at least one person has the disease. If a combined sample tests positive, then individual blood tests are used to identify the individual with the disease or disorder.

Anemia Based on data from Bloodjournal.org, 10% of women 65 years of age and older have anemia, which is a deficiency of red blood cells. In tests for anemia, blood samples from 8 women 65 and older are combined. What is the probability that the combined sample tests positive for anemia? Is it likely for such a combined sample to test positive?

The planets of the solar system have the numbers of moons listed below in order from the sun. (Pluto is not included because it was uninvited from the solar system party in 2006.) Include appropriate units whenever relevant.

0 0 1 2 17 28 21 8

a. Find the mean.

b. Find the median.

c. Find the mode.

d. Find the range.

e. Find the standard deviation.

f. Find the variance.

g. Use the range rule of thumb to identify the values separating significant values from those that are not significant.

h. Based on the result from part (g), do any of the planets have a number of moons that is significantly low or significantly high? Why or why not?

i. What is the level of measurement of the data: nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio?

j. Are the data discrete or continuous?

Detecting FraudThe Brooklyn District Attorney鈥檚 office analyzed the leading (leftmost) digits of check amounts in order to identify fraud. The leading digit of 1 is expected to occur 30.1% of the time, according to 鈥淏enford鈥檚 law,鈥 which applies in this case. Among 784 checks issued by a suspect company, there were none with amounts that had a leading digit of 1.

a. If there is a 30.1% chance that the leading digit of the check amount is 1, what is the expected number of checks among 784 that should have a leading digit of 1?

b. Assume that groups of 784 checks are randomly selected. Find the mean and standard deviation for the numbers of checks with amounts having a leading digit of 1.

c. Use the results from part (b) and the range rule of thumb to identify the values that are significantly low.

d. Given that the 784 actual check amounts had no leading digits of 1, is there very strong evidence that the suspect checks are very different from the expected results? Why or why not?

Binomial Probability Formula. In Exercises 13 and 14, answer the questions designed to help understand the rationale for the binomial probability formula.

Guessing Answers Standard tests, such as the SAT, ACT, or Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), typically use multiple choice questions, each with five possible answers (a, b, c, d, e), one of which is correct. Assume that you guess the answers to the first three questions.

a. Use the multiplication rule to find the probability that the first two guesses are wrong and the third is correct. That is, find P(WWC), where W denotes a wrong answerand C denotes a correct answer.

b.Beginning with WWC, make a complete list of the different possible arrangements of two wrong answers and one correct answer, then find the probability for each entry in the list.

c. Based on the preceding results, what is the probability of getting exactly one correct answer when three guesses are made?
