Chapter 5: Q5 (page 221)

In Exercises 1鈥�5, assume that 74% of randomly selected adults have a credit card (based on results from an AARP Bulletin survey). Assume that a group of five adults is randomly selected.

If the group of five adults includes exactly 1 with a credit card, is that value

of 1 significantly low?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The result of 1 adult with a credit card is said to be a significantly low number.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The number of randomly selected adults are n=5.

The probability of randomly selected adults who have a credit card is p=0.74.

02

Step 2: Check whether 1 is a significantly low number of adults with a credit card

Referring to exercise 3 of Section 5.

The mean number of adults in groups of five who have credit cards is 渭= 3.7 adults.

The standard deviation for the number of adults in groups of five who have credit cards is蟽=1 adult.

Significant low values are the values less than or equal to 渭-2蟽 .

Using the rule of thumb, the calculations are computed as,

渭-2蟽=3.7-2脳1=1.7

Since 1 is less than 1.7, this implies that it is a significantly low number of adults with credit cards.

Therefore, by using the range rule of thumb, 1 is a significantly low number of adults with credit cards.

Bone Density Test A bone mineral density test is used to identify a bone disease. The result of a bone density test is commonly measured as a z score, and the population of z scores is normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.

a. For a randomly selected subject, find the probability of a bone density test score less than 1.54.

b. For a randomly selected subject, find the probability of a bone density test score greater than -1.54.

c. For a randomly selected subject, find the probability of a bone density test score between -1.33 and 2.33.

d. Find \({Q_1}\), the bone density test score separating the bottom 25% from the top 75%.

e. If the mean bone density test score is found for 9 randomly selected subjects, find the probability that the mean is greater than 0.50.

Expected Value for Life Insurance There is a 0.9986 probability that a randomly selected 30-year-old male lives through the year (based on data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services). A Fidelity life insurance company charges \(161 for insuring that the male will live through the year. If the male does not survive the year, the policy pays out \)100,000 as a death benefit.

a. From the perspective of the 30-year-old male, what are the monetary values corresponding to the two events of surviving the year and not surviving?

b. If a 30-year-old male purchases the policy, what is his expected value?

c. Can the insurance company expect to make a profit from many such policies? Why?

Identifying Binomial Distributions. In Exercises 5鈥�12, determine whether the given procedure results in a binomial distribution (or a distribution that can be treated as binomial). For those that are not binomial, identify at least one requirement that is not satisfied.

Clinical Trial of YSORT The YSORT method of gender selection, developed by the Genetics & IVF Institute, was designed to increase the likelihood that a baby will be a boy. When 291 couples use the YSORT method and give birth to 291 babies, the genders of the babies are recorded.
