Continuous Uniform Distribution. In Exercises 5鈥�8, refer to the continuous uniform distribution depicted in Figure 6-2 and described in Example 1. Assume that a passenger is randomly selected, and find the probability that the waiting time is within the given range.

Greater than 3.00 minutes

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability for waiting time larger than 3.00 minutes is 0.4.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The graph shows the complete area under the uniform distribution curve, which is equal to 1.

02

State the relationship between area and probability

As the area under the density curve is 1, it can be inferred that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the area and the probabilities.

Thus, the probability that the waiting time is greater than 3 is equal to the area under the curve in the shaded region, as shown in the graph below.


03

Find the probability

The probability that the waiting time is greater than 3.00 minutes is the area of the shaded rectangle with length 0.2 and width is 5-3=2.

Thus,

PX>3.00=Length脳widthoftheshadedarea=0.2脳2=0.4

So, the probability of selecting a passenger randomly when the waiting time is greater than 3.00 minutes is 0.4.

Births There are about 11,000 births each day in the United States, and the proportion of boys born in the United States is 0.512. Assume that each day, 100 births are randomly selected and the proportion of boys is recorded.

a. What do you know about the mean of the sample proportions?

b. What do youknow about the shape of the distribution of the sample proportions?

Low Birth Weight The University of Maryland Medical Center considers 鈥渓ow birth weights鈥� to be those that are less than 5.5 lb or 2495 g. Birth weights are normally distributed with a mean of 3152.0 g and a standard deviation of 693.4 g (based on Data Set 4 鈥淏irths鈥� in Appendix B).

a. If a birth weight is randomly selected, what is the probability that it is a 鈥渓ow birth weight鈥�?

b. Find the weights considered to be significantly low, using the criterion of a birth weight having a probability of 0.05 or less.

c. Compare the results from parts (a) and (b).

In Exercises 9鈥�12, find the indicated IQ score and round to the nearest whole number. 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).

Sampling with Replacement The Orangetown Medical Research Center randomly selects 100 births in the United States each day, and the proportion of boys is recorded for each sample.

a. Do you think the births are randomly selected with replacement or without replacement?

b. Give two reasons why statistical methods tend to be based on the assumption that sampling is conducted with replacement, instead of without replacement.

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?
