Jurors. From 10 men and 8 women in a pool of potential jurors 12 are chosen at random to constitute a jury. Suppose that you observe the number of men who are chosen for the jury. Let A be the event that at least half of the 12 jurors are men, and let B be the event that at least half of the 8 women are on the jury.

Part (a) Determine the sample space for this experiment

Part (b) Find (A or B) ,(A & B) and (A &(not B)), listing all the outcomes for each of those three events

Part (c) Are events A and B are mutually exclusive.? are events A and (not B)? are events (not A) and (not B)? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) S={4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

Part (b)

(AorB)={6,7,8,9,10}(A&B )=(6,7,8)(A(notB))={9,10}

Part (c)

AandBare not mutually exclusive.

Aand(notB)are not mutually exclusive and

(notA)and(notB)are not mutually exclusive.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.

A jury is formed by selecting 12 possible jurors at random from a pool of 10 men and 8 women.

02

Part (a) Step 2.  Sample space for the investigation at hand

All possible outcomes are represented in the sample space. A jury of 12 people is required, thus at least 4 men will be chosen out of the total of 8 women.

S={4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

03

Part (b) Step 1.  The various consequences of the events ( A or B), (A & B) and (A (not B))

A is a event in which at least half of the jury members are male.

A={6,7,8,9,10}

B is an event in which at least half of the eight women on the jury are female. As a result, the jury will consist of a maximum of 8 men and a minimum of 6.

B={6,7,8}

Now

role="math" localid="1651472188677" (AorB)={6,7,8,9,10}(A&B )=(6,7,8)(A(notB))={9,10}

04

Part (c) Step 1. the events , A and B, A and (not B), (not A) and (not B) are mutually exclusive.

A jury is formed by selecting 12 possible jurors at random from a pool of 10 men and 8 women.

A∩B≠ϕA∩B'≠ϕA'∩B'≠ϕ

AandBare not mutually exclusive.

Aand(notB)are not mutually exclusive and

(notA)and(notB)are not mutually exclusive.

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)

Fill in the blanks.

(a) A is a quantitative variable whose value depends on chance.

(b) A discrete random variable is a random variable whose possible values .

Dice. The random variable Y is the sum of the dice when two balanced dice are rolled. 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.

Roughly speaking, What is an experiment? an event?

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

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.
