Diabetes Prevalence. In a report titled Behavioral Risk factor Surveillance System Summary Prevalence Report, the Centers for Distance control and Prevention Discuss the prevalence of diabetes in the Unites states. The following table provides a diabetes prevalence frequency distribution for the 50 U.S state based on the question "Hhave you ever been told by a doctor that you have diabetes?"

For a randomly selected, let

A = event that the state has a diabetes prevalence percentage of at least 8%

B = event that the state has a diabetes prevalence percentage of less than 7%

C= event that the state has a diabetes prevalence percentage of at least 6% but less than 13%

D = event that the state has a diabetes prevalence percentage of less than 9%

Describe each of the following event in words and determine the number of outcomes (states) that constitute each event.

Part (a) (not C)

Part (b) (A & B)

Part (c) (C or D)

Part (d) (C & B)

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) Number of outcomes =2

Part (b) Number of outcomes =10

Part (c) Number of outcomes =49

Part (d) Number of outcomes =6

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.

The table below shows the diabetes prevalence frequency distribution for the 50 states of the United States, based on:

Diabetes (%)Frequency
5 - under 61
6 - under 7
5
7 - under 813
8 - under 910
9 - under 109
10 - under 118
11 - under 122
12 - under 131
13 - under 14

A = event that the state has a diabetes prevalence percentage of at least 8%

B = event that the state has a diabetes prevalence percentage of less than 7%

C= event that the state has a diabetes prevalence percentage of at least 6% but less than 13%

D = event that the state has a diabetes prevalence percentage of less than 9%

02

Part (a) Step 1.  In words, the event (not C) and the number of outcomes that make up the event.

(not C) is the event that includes all outcomes that aren't in C, therefore diabetes prevalence is either less than 6% or greater than 13%. Hence

Number of outcomes (not C)

1+1=2

03

Part (b) Step 1. Given information.

The table below shows the diabetes prevalence frequency distribution for the 50 states of the United States, based on:

Diabetes (%)Frequency
5 - under 61
6 - under 7
5
7 - under 813
8 - under 910
9 - under 109
10 - under 118
11 - under 122
12 - under 131
13 - under 14

A = event that the state has a diabetes prevalence percentage of at least 8%

B = event that the state has a diabetes prevalence percentage of less than 7%

C= event that the state has a diabetes prevalence percentage of at least 6% but less than 13%

D = event that the state has a diabetes prevalence percentage of less than 9%

04

Part (b) Step 2.  In words, the event (A & B) and the number of outcomes that make up the event

(A & B) is the event in which the state has a diabetes prevalence of at least 8% but less than 9%.

Number of outcomes

(A&B)=10

05

Part (c) Step 1. Given information.

The table below shows the diabetes prevalence frequency distribution for the 50 states of the United States, based on:

Diabetes (%)Frequency
5 - under 61
6 - under 7
5
7 - under 813
8 - under 910
9 - under 109
10 - under 118
11 - under 122
12 - under 131
13 - under 14
1

A = event that the state has a diabetes prevalence percentage of at least 8%

B = event that the state has a diabetes prevalence percentage of less than 7%

C= event that the state has a diabetes prevalence percentage of at least 6% but less than 13%

D = event that the state has a diabetes prevalence percentage of less than 9%

06

Part (c) Step 2.  In words, the event (C or D) and the number of outcomes that make up the event

When a state's diabetes prevalence is between 6 and 13 percent or less than 9 percent, it is classified as (C or D).

Number of outcomes

(CorD)=1+5+13+10+9+8+2+1=49

07

Part (d) Step 1. Given information.

The table below shows the diabetes prevalence frequency distribution for the 50 states of the United States, based on:

Diabetes (%)Frequency
5 - under 61
6 - under 7
5
7 - under 813
8 - under 910
9 - under 109
10 - under 118
11 - under 122
12 - under 131
13 - under 14
1

A = event that the state has a diabetes prevalence percentage of at least 8%

B = event that the state has a diabetes prevalence percentage of less than 7%

C= event that the state has a diabetes prevalence percentage of at least 6% but less than 13%

D = event that the state has a diabetes prevalence percentage of less than 9%

08

Part (d) Step 2.  In words, the event (C & B) and the number of outcomes that make up the event

(C & B) is the case where the state's diabetes prevalence is less than 7%.

Number of outcomes(C&D)1+5=6

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.

Expressing Confidence Intervals Example 2 showed how the statistics of n= 22 ands= 14.3 result in this 95% confidence interval estimate of \(\sigma \): 11.0 < \(\sigma \) < 20.4. That confidence interval can also be expressed as (11.0, 20.4), but it cannot be expressed as 15.7 \( \pm \) 4.7. Given that 15.7\( \pm \)4.7 results in values of 11.0 and 20.4, why is it wrong to express the confidence interval as 15.7\( \pm \)4.7?

Archery. An archer shoots an arrow into a square target 6 feet on a side whose center we call the origin. The outcome of this random experiment is the point in the target hit by the arrow. The archer scores 10 points if she hits the bull's eye-a disk of radius 1 foot centered at the origin; she scores 5 points if she hits the ring with inner radius 1 foot and outer radius 2 feet centered at the origin; and she scores 0 points otherwise. Assume that the archer will actually hit the target and is equally likely to hit any portion of the target. For one arrow shot, let S be the score.

(a) Obtain and interpret the probability distribution of the random variable S. (Hint: The area of a square is the square of its side length; the area of a disk is the square of its radius times.)

(b) Use the special addition rule and the probability distribution obtained in part (a) to determine and interpret the probability of each of the following events:

{S=5);{S>0};{S≤7);(5<S≤15);{S<15);and{S<0).

Video Games. A pathological video game user (PVGU) is a video game user that averages 31 or more hours a week of gameplay.

According to the article "Pathological Video Game Use among Youths: A Two-Year Longitudinal Study" (Pediatrics, Vol. 127. No. 2, pp. 319-329) by D. Gentile et al., in 2011, about 9% of children in grades 3-8 were PVGUs. Suppose that, today, seven youths in grades 3-8 are randomly selected.

(a) Assuming that the percentage of PVGUS in grades 3-8 is the same today as it was in 2011, determine the probability distribution for the number, X, who are PVGUs.

(b) Determine and interpret the mean of X.

(c) If, in fact, exactly three of the seven youths selected are PVGUs, would you be inclined to conclude that the percentage of PVGUs in grades 3-8 has increased from the 2011 percentage? Explain your reasoning. Hint: First consider the probability P(X≥3).

(d) If, in fact, exactly two of the seven youths selected are PVGUs, would you be inclined to conclude the percentage of PVGUs in grades 3-8 has increased from the 2011 percentage? Explain your reasoning.

Suppose that a simple random sample is taken from a finite population in which each member is classified as either having or not having a specified attribute. Fill in the following blanks.

(a) If sampling is with replacement, the probability distribution of the number of members sampled that have the specified attribute is a distribution.

(b) If sampling is without replacement, the probability distribution of the number of members sampled that have the specified attribute is a distribution.

(c) If sampling is without replacement and the sample size does not exceed % of the population size, the probability distribution of the number of members sampled that have the specified attribute can be approximated by a distribution.
