Persons Per Housing Unit. The random variable Y is the number of person living in a randomly selected occupied housing unit. Its probability distribution is as follows.

Part (a) Find and interpret the mean of the random variable.

Part (b) Obtain the standard deviation of the random variable by using one of the formulas given in definition 5.10

Part (c) Construct a probability histogram for the random variable, locate the mean: and show one, two, and three standard deviation intervals.

Part (a) 2.538

Part (b) 1.4

Part (c)

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information. 

Consider the following table of data. The random variable Y is the number of persons living in randomly selected household units.

02

Part (a) Step 2. The random variable's average.

μ=∑y·P(Y=y)μ=10.365+2×0.0327+3×0.161+4×0.147+5×0.065+60.022+70.013μ=0.265+0.654+0.483+0.588+0.326+0.132+0.091μ=2.538

The average number of people living in a particular occupied dwelling unit is = 2.538.

03

Part (b) Step 1.The random variable's standard deviation:

Standard deviation = ∑y2P(Y=y)-μ2

Calculation.

σ=∑x2P(X=x)-μ2σ=10.365+4×0.327+9×0.161+16×0.147+25×0.065-36.(0.022)+49(0.013)-(2.53)2σ=1.987σ=1.4

As a result, standard deviation = 1.4

04

Part (c) Step 1.  The mean, one, two, and three standard deviation intervals on the probability histogram graph of the random variable.

We have μand σfrom sections a and b.

localid="1651756716707" μ-σ,μ+σ=2.538-1.4,2.538+1.4=1.138,3.938μ-2σ,μ+2σ=2.538-2(1.4),2.538+2(1.4)=(-0.2,5.3)μ-3σ,μ+3σ=2.538-3(1.4),2.538+3(1.4)(-1.6,6.7)

In Exercises 5.16-5.26, express your probability answers as a decimal rounded to three places.

Preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a medical condition characterized by high blood pressure and protein in the urine of a pregnant woman. It is a serious condition that can be life-threatening to the mother and child. In the article "Women's Experiences Preeclampsia: Australian Action on Preeclampsia Survey of Wom and Their Confidants" (Journal of Pregnancy,Vol. 2011, Issue 1, Article ID 375653), C. East et al. examined the experiences of 68 women with preeclampsia. The following table provides a frequency distribution of instances of prenatal or infant death for infants of women with preeclampsia.

Suppose that one of these women with preeclampsia is randomly selected. Find the probability that the child of the woman selected

(a) died.

(b). died one week to six months after birth.

(c). lived at least six weeks.
