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

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability for waiting time between 2 minutes and 3 minutes is 0.2.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The graph for a uniform distribution is given with an area enclosed equally to 1.

02

State the relationship between area and probability

There is a one-to-one association between probability and the area of the curve between the range. It holds under the condition when the total area is equal to 1.

Thus,the probability that the waiting time between 2 minutes and 3 minutes would be the same as the area of the shaded region shown below.

Moreover, the area of the shaded region is the difference between the area to the left of 2 minutes and the area to the left of 3 minutes.

03

 Step 3: Find the probability

The probability that the waiting time is between 2 minutes and 3 minutes is shown below:

P2<X<3=Areatotheleftof3-Areatotheleftof2...1

Areatotheleftof3=Lengthwidth=0.23-0=0.6...2

Areatotheleftof2=Lengthwidth=0.22-0=0.4...3

Substitute (2) and (3) into equation (1).

P2<X<3=0.6-0.4=0.2

Thus, the probability of selecting a passenger randomly when the waiting time is between 2 minutes and 3 minutes is 0.2.

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?

Loading AircraftBefore every flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft can carry 37 passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6200 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 6200 lb/37 = 167.6 lb. What is the probability that the aircraft is overloaded? Should the pilot take any action to correct for an overloaded aircraft? Assume that weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 189 lb and a standard deviation of 39 lb (based on Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥 in Appendix 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).
