Chapter 5: Q1-12BSC (page 195)

In Exercises 9鈥�12, refer to the exercise identified. Make subjective estimates to decide whether results are significantly low or significantly high, then state a conclusion about the original claim. For example, if the claim is that a coin favours heads and sample results consist of 11 heads in 20 flips, conclude that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the coin favours heads (because it is easy to get 11 heads in 20 flips by chance with a fair coin).

Exercise 8 鈥淧ulse Rates鈥�

Short Answer

Expert verified

The result of 11.3 bpm isneither significantly low nor significantly high.

There is enough evidence to reject the claim that the standard deviation of pulse rates of adult males is more than 11 bpm.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Refer to Exercise 8 BSC;for a sample of 153 adult males, the mean pulse rate is equal to 69.6 bpm, and the standard deviation is equal to 11.3 bpm.

02

Conclusion

It is claimed that the standard deviation of the pulse rate of adult males is more than 11 bpm.

That is,\(\sigma > 11\;{\rm{bpm}}\)

Since the value of 11.3 bpm is not considerably greater than the claimed value of 11 bpm, it appears to be likely to obtain a standard deviation of 11.3 bpm in a sample when the true standard deviation of pulse rates is 11 bpm.

Therefore, the result of 11.3 bpm is neither significantly low nor significantly high.

Thus, this suggests that there is enough evidence to reject the claim that the standard deviation of pulse rates of adult males is more than 11 bpm.

Dice. When one die is rolled, the following six outcome are possible;

List the outcome constituting

A = event the die come up even

B = event the die come up 4 or more

C event the die come up at most 2, and

D= event the die come up 3.

Penalty Kicks. In the game of soccer, a penalty kick is a direct free kick, taken from 12 yards out from the goal on the penalty mark. According to the article "Penalty Kicks in Soccer: An Empirical Analysis of Shooting Strategies and Goalkeeper's Preferences" (Soccer & Society, Vol. 10, No. 2. pp. 183-191) by M. Bar-Eli and O. Azar, 85% of penalty kicks placed by professional soccer players are successful. In 15 penalty kicks by professional soccer players, what is the probability that

(a) all are successful?

(b) at least 13 are successful?

(c) Find and interpret the mean and standard deviation of the number of successful penalty kicks out of 15.

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)

Mean as center of Gravity. Let X be a discrete random variable with a finite number of number of possible values say x1,x2.....xmFor convenience, set PK=P(X=xk),for K = 1, 2.....m . Think of a horizontal axis as a seesaw and each PKas a mass placed at point xkon the seesaw. The center of gravity of those masses is defined to be the point c on the horizontal axis at which a fulcrum could be placed to balance the seesaw.

Relative to the center of gravity , The torque acting on the seesaw by the mass PKis proportional to the product of that mass with the signed distance of the point XkFrom c That is , to ((xk-c). Pkshow that the center of gravity equal the mean of the random variable X ( hint: To balance, the total torque acting on the seesaw must be 0)

Constract a venn diagram representing the event.

Part (b) ((A or B) & (not(A & B)))
