Birth Weights Based on Data Set 4 鈥淏irths鈥� in Appendix B, birth weights are normally distributed with a mean of 3152.0 g and a standard deviation of 693.4 g.

a. For the bell-shaped graph, what is the area under the curve?

b. What is the value of the median?

c. What is the value of the mode?

d. What is the value of the variance?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The area under the curve is equal to 1.

b. The median is equal to 3152.0 grams.

c. The mode is equal to 3152.0 grams.

d. The variance is equal to 480803.6 grams.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The birth weights are normally distributed with a mean equal to 3152.0 grams and a standard deviation equal to 693.4 grams.

02

Normal distribution

Normal distribution has the following properties:

  • The data that follows a normal distribution has a bell-shaped graph, and the area under the curve is equal to 1.
  • The mean, median, and modal values for a given normal distribution are all equal.

a.

The area under the graph is equal to 1.

b.

The median value is equal to 3152.0 grams.

c.

The mode value is equal to 3152.0 grams.

d.

The variance is computed as follows:

Variance=standarddeviation2=693.42=480803.6grams

Thus, the variance is equal to 480803.6 grams.

Blue Eyes Assume that 35% of us have blue eyes (based on a study by Dr. P. Soria at Indiana University).

a. Let B denote the event of selecting someone who has blue eyes. What does the event denote?

b. Find the value of P().

c. Find the probability of randomly selecting three different people and finding that all of them have blue eyes.

d. Find the probability that among 100 randomly selected people, at least 40 have blue eyes.

e. If 35% of us really do have blue eyes, is a result of 40 people with blue eyes among 100 randomly selected people a result that is significantly high?

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?

Using the Central Limit Theorem. In Exercises 5鈥�8, assume that females have pulse rates that are normally distributed with a mean of 74.0 beats per minute and a standard deviation of 12.5 beats per minute (based on Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥� in Appendix B).

a.If 1 adult female is randomly selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is less than 80 beats per minute.

b. If 16 adult females are randomly selected, find the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean less than 80 beats per minute.

c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part (b), even though the sample size does not exceed 30?

Notation

a. Identify the values of 渭 and 蟽 for the standard normal distribution.

b. What do the symbols 渭x炉 and 蟽x炉represent?

In Exercises 11鈥�14, use the population of {34, 36, 41, 51} of the amounts of caffeine (mg/12oz) in鈥侰oca-Cola鈥俍ero,鈥侱iet鈥侾epsi,鈥侱r鈥侾epper,鈥俛nd鈥侻ellow鈥俌ello鈥俍ero.

Assume鈥倀hat鈥� random samples of size n = 2 are selected with replacement.

Sampling Distribution of the Sample Mean

a. After identifying the 16 different possible samples, find the mean of each sample, then construct a table representing the sampling distribution of the sample mean. In the table, combine values of the sample mean that are the same. (Hint: See Table 6-3 in Example 2 on page 258.)

b. Compare the mean of the population {34, 36, 41, 51} to the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean.

c. Do the sample means target the value of the population mean? In general, do sample means make good estimators of population means? Why or why not?
