assume that 100 cars are randomly selected. Refer to the accompanying graph, which shows the top car colors and the percentages of cars with those colors (based on PPG Industries).Red Cars: Find the probability of exactly 14 red cars. Why can鈥檛 the result be used to determine whether 14 is a significantly high number of red cars?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that the number of red cars is 14 is 0.0542.

The result does not give the value of probability for at least getting 14 red cars, thus cannot be used to determine a significantly high value 14.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

There are 100 randomly selected cars. There are five types of colors in the sample of cars such as white, black, gray, silver, and red.

02

Normal approximation to binomial distribution

Requirements for normal approximation of binomial distribution:

The sample is a simple random sample with size n from the population with the proportion of success p or probability of success p.

np5,nq5.

03

Verify the requirements

Let X be the random variable for the number black cars in sample of 100.

The proportion of cars with red color is 0.10(p).

The sample size and probability of success are;

n=100p=0.10

The requirement for the normal approximation to binomial distribution, that is, np5,nq5.

Thus,

np=1000.10=10=105

nq=n1-p=1001-0.10=905

Thus, the approximation to normal distribution is verified.

04

Find mean and standard deviation for normal distribution

To approximate binomial distribution into normal, it is important to find the mean and standard deviation.

Hence, the formula for mean and standard deviation is given below,

=np=npq

Now, Substitute the all values in the formula,

=np=1000.10=10

=npq=1000.100.90=3

Now, the mean of the normal distribution is =10 and the standard deviation of normal distribution is =3.

05

Continuity correction

The probability that the number of cars is equal to 14 is expressed as,

PX=14=P13.5<X<14.5=PX<14.5-PX<13.5

The formula for z-score is,

z=x-

The z-score associated each value are,

z1=x1-=13.5-103=1.1667

z2=x2-=14.5-103=1.5

From the standard normal table,

the cumulative probability for the value 1.16 is 0.8790.

the cumulative probability for the value 1.50 is 0.9332.

Thus, probability that the number of red cars is 14,

PX=14=P1.16<Z<1.50=PZ<1.50-PZ<1.16=0.9332-0.8790=0.0542

Thus, the probability that the number of red cars is 14 is 0.0542.

06

Define significantly high

Significantly high events are those which have a probability 0.05 or less for the occurrence of events greater than or equal to the given event.

Here, the probability is stated for 14 red cars and not at least 14 cars.

Thus, if 14 red cars is significantly high number or not cannot be determined using the results.

Body Temperatures Based on the sample results in Data Set 3 鈥淏ody Temperatures鈥 in Appendix B, assume that human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of 98.20掳F and a standard deviation of 0.62掳F.

a. According to emedicinehealth.com, a body temperature of 100.4掳F or above is considered to be a fever. What percentage of normal and healthy persons would be considered to have a fever? Does this percentage suggest that a cutoff of 100.4掳F is appropriate?

b. Physicians want to select a minimum temperature for requiring further medical tests. What should that temperature be, if we want only 2.0% of healthy people to exceed it? (Such a result is a false positive, meaning that the test result is positive, but the subject is not really sick.)

Standard Normal DistributionIn Exercises 17鈥36, assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. Those test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. In each case, draw a graph, then find the probability of the given bone density test scores. If using technology instead of Table A-2, round answers

to four decimal places.

Critical Values. In Exercises 41鈥44, find the indicated critical value. Round results to two decimal places.

Quarters After 1964, quarters were manufactured so that their weights have a mean of5.67 g and a standard deviation of 0.06 g. Some vending machines are designed so that you canadjust the weights of quarters that are accepted. If many counterfeit coins are found, you cannarrow the range of acceptable weights with the effect that most counterfeit coins are rejectedalong with some legitimate quarters.

a. If you adjust your vending machines to accept weights between 5.60 g and 5.74 g, what percentage of legal quarters are rejected? Is that percentage too high?

b. If you adjust vending machines to accept all legal quarters except those with weights in the top 2.5% and the bottom 2.5%, what are the limits of the weights that are accepted?

Southwest Airlines SeatsSouthwest Airlines currentlyhas a seat

width of 17 in. Menhave hip breadths that are normallydistributed with a mean of 14.4 in. and a standard deviationof 1.0in. (based on anthropometric survey data from Gordon, Churchill, et al.).

  1. Find the probability that if an individual man is randomly selected, his hip breadth will begreater than 17 in.
  2. Southwest Airlines uses a Boeing 737 for some of its flights, and that aircraft seats 122 passengers.If the plane is full with 122 randomly selected men, find the probability that these menhave a mean hip breadth greater than 17 in.
  3. Which result should be considered for any changes in seat design: the result from part (a) or part (b)?
