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.

Part (a) 0.265.

Part (b) 0.118.

Part (c) 0.765.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.

The given statement is:

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", 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.

Prenatal/Infant Death

Frequency

Stillborn

9

Death within one week

4

Death One week to six weeks

3

Death Six weeks to six months

1

Death after six months

1

Did not die

50

02

Part (a) Step 2. Find the probability that the child of the woman selected died.

We know that an event's probability ranges from 0 to 1, and both 0 and 1 are included in it.

The formula for the probability of an event is:

P(E)=No.offavorableoutcomesTotalno.ofoutcomes

A total of 68 women were examined with preeclampsia. Therefore, the total number of instances will become 68.

The total instances where a child dies is:

9+4+3+1+1=18

Let's call the occurrence 'E' the death of the woman's child.

The probability that the child of the woman selected died is:

p(E)=1868=0.265

03

Part (b) Step 1. Find the probability that the child of the woman selected died one week to six months after birth.

The total instances where a child dies one week to six months after birth are:

4+3+1=8

Now Let's call the occurrence 'E' the death of the woman's child from week one to six months after birth.

The probability that the child of the woman selected died one week to six months after birth is:

P(E)=868=0.118

04

Part (c) Step 1. Find the probability that the child of the woman selected lived at least six weeks.

The total instances where a child lived at least six weeks are:

1+1+50=52

Now Let's call the occurrence 'E' the child that lived at least six weeks.

The probability that the child of the woman selected lived at least six weeks is:

P(E)=5268=0.765

In 10 Bernoulli trials, how many outcomes contain exactly three successes?

An experiment has 20 possible outcomes, all equally likely. An event can occur in five ways. The probability that the event occurs is .

Persons per Housing Unit. From the document American Housing Survey for the United States, published by the U.S. Census Bureau, we obtained the following frequency distribution for the number of persons per occupied housing unit, where we have used "7" in place of 鈥7 or more.鈥 Frequencies are in millions of housing units.

Person1234567
Frequencies27.934.417.015.56.82.31.4

For a randomly selected housing unit, let Y denote the number of persons living in that unit.

a. Identify the possible values of the random variable Y.

b. Use random-variable notation to represent the event that a housing unit has exactly three persons living in it.

c. Determine P(Y = 3); interpret in terms of percentages.

d. Determine the probability distribution of Y.

e. Construct a probability histogram for Y.

Cardiovascular Hospitalizations. From the Florida State Center for Health Statistics report Women and Cardiovascular Disease Hospitalization, we obtained the following table showing the number of female hospitalizations for cardiovascular disease, by age group, during one year.

One of these case records is selected at random. Find the probability that the woman was

(a) in her 50s.

(b) less than 50 years old.

(c) between 40 and 69 years old, inclusive.

(d) 70 years old or older.

Major Hurricanes. The Atlantic Hurricane Database extends back to 1851, recording among other things the number of major hurricanes striking the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf Coast per year. A major hurricane is a hurricane measuring at least a Category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale (i.e., with winds of at least 110 mph). As published by the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration and the Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory, the following table provides a probability distribution for the number of major hurricanes, Y, for a randomly selected year between 1851 and 2012.

Use random-variable notation to represent each of the following events. The year had

a. at least one major hurricane.

b. exactly three major hurricanes.

c. between 2 and 4 major hurricanes, inclusive.

Use the special addition rule and the probability distribution to determine

d. P(Y 鈮 1).

e. P(Y = 3).

f. P(2 鈮 Y鈮 4)
