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.

In Exercises 7鈥10, use the same population of {4, 5, 9} that was used in Examples 2 and 5. As in Examples 2 and 5, assume that samples of size n = 2 are randomly selected with replacement.

Sampling Distribution of the Sample Median

a. Find the value of the population median.

b. Table 6-2 describes the sampling distribution of the sample mean. Construct a similar table representing the sampling distribution of the sample median. Then combine values of the median that are the same, as in Table 6-3. (Hint: See Example 2 on page 258 for Tables 6-2 and 6-3, which describe the sampling distribution of the sample mean.)

c. Find the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample median. d. Based on the preceding results, is the sample median an unbiased estimator of the population median? Why or why not?

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.

Between -2.75 and -0.75.

In Exercises 5鈥8, find the area of the shaded region. The graphs depict IQ scores of adults, and those scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 (as on the Wechsler IQ test).

Jet Ejection Seats The U.S. Air Force once used ACES-II ejection seats designed for men weighing between 140 lb and 211 lb. Given that women鈥檚 weights are normally distributed with a mean of 171.1 lb and a standard deviation of 46.1 lb (based on data from the National Health Survey), what percentage of women have weights that are within those limits? Were many women excluded with those past specifications?
