Chapter 6: Q6.4 (page 260)

The percentage of all possible observations of the variable that lie between 7 & 12 equals the area under its density curve between _ and _, expressed as a percentage.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Percentage of total observations that lie between 7 & 12 equals the area under density curve between x > 7 & x <10 expressed as a percentage

Step by step solution

01

Density Curve Concept 

Density Curve is a graphical representation of numerical distribution, having variable outcomes that are continuous (which can take non whole values), like weight = 45.3 Kgs

02

Density Curve Probability 

It shows likelihood ( probability) of continuous variable' outcomes. As total probability = 1, total area under the curve is also equal to 1.

Percentage of total observations that lie within a range is equal to percentage of area under the curve between the corresponding values.

03

Explanation

The percentage of all possible observations of the variable that lie between 7 & 12 equals the area under its density curve between x> 7 & x < 12

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.

Between 2 minutes and 3 minutes

Using Normal Approximation. In Exercises 5鈥�8, do the following: If the requirements of np猢�5andnq猢�5are both satisfied, estimate the indicated probability by using the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution; ifnp<5ornq<5, then state that the normal approximation should not be used.

Guessing on Standard TestsWith n= 50 guesses and p= 0.2 for a correct answer, findP(exactly 12 correct answers).

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?

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).

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.)
