Eye ColorBased on a study by Dr. P. Sorita at Indiana University, assume that 12% of us have green eyes. In a study of 650 people, it is found that 86 of them have green eyes.

a.Find the probability of at least 86 people with green eyes among 650 randomly selected people.

b.Is 86 people with green eyes significantly high?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. Probability of at least 86 people with green eyes among 650 is 0.1814.

b. 86 people with green eyes are not significantly high.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The study of 650 people is recorded.

The given sample size\(n = 650\)and probability of success \(p = 0.12\).

Now,

\(\begin{aligned}{c}q = 1 - p\\ = 1 - 0.12\\ = 0.88\end{aligned}\)

02

Check the requirement

From the given information,

\(\begin{aligned}{c}np = 650 \times 0.12\\ = 78\\ > 5\end{aligned}\)

\(\begin{aligned}{c}nq = 650 \times 0.88\\ = 572\\ > 5\end{aligned}\)

Here both\({\bf{np}}\)and\({\bf{nq}}\)are greater than 5. Hence probabilities from a binomial

probability distribution can be approximated reasonably well by using a normal distribution.

03

Mean and standard deviation for normal distribution

The mean value is,

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\mu = np\\ = 650 \times 0.12\\ = 78\end{aligned}\)

The standard deviation is,

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\sigma = \sqrt {npq} \\ = \sqrt {650 \times 0.12 \times 0.88} \\ = 8.28\end{aligned}\)

04

Continuity correction

Let X be the random variable for the number of people with green eyes.

The probability of at least 86 people with green eyes is expressed using continuity correction formula,\(P\left( {x \ge n} \right)\;{\rm{use}}\;P\left( {X > n - 0.5} \right)\)

Here

\(\begin{aligned}{c}P\left( {X \ge 86} \right) = P\left( {X > 86 - 0.5} \right)\\ = P\left( {X > 85.5} \right)\end{aligned}\)

Thus, the probability is expressed as \[P\left( {X > 85.5} \right)\].

05

Compute the z-score

The zscore for\(x = 85.5\)using\(\mu = 78,\sigma = 8.28\) is as follows:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}z = \frac{{x - \mu }}{\sigma }\\ = \frac{{85.5 - 78}}{{8.28}}\\ = 0.91\end{aligned}\)

The z-score is 0.91.

Using the standard normal table, the cumulative area to the left of 0.91 is 0.1814.

06

Discuss if the event is significantly high

b.

An event is significantly high if the probability of occurrence for at least that event is lesser than equal to 0.05.

If \(P\left( {X\;{\rm{or}}\;{\rm{more}}} \right) \le 0.05\), then it is significantly high.

But in our case, 0.1814 > 0.05. Therefore, it is not significantly high.

In Exercises 13鈥20, use the data in the table below for sitting adult males and females (based on anthropometric survey data from Gordon, Churchill, et al.). These data are used often in the design of different seats, including aircraft seats, train seats, theater seats, and classroom seats. (Hint: Draw a graph in each case.)

Instead of using 0.05 for identifying significant values, use the criteria that a value x is significantly high if P(x or greater) 鈮 0.01 and a value is significantly low if P(x or less) 鈮 0.01. Find the back-to-knee lengths for males, separating significant values from those that are not significant. Using these criteria, is a male back-to-knee length of 26 in. significantly high?
