Problem 98
Use the following information to answer the next two exercises: The probability that the San Jose Sharks will win any given game is 0.3694 based on a 13-year win history of 382 wins out of 1,034 games played (as of a certain date). An upcoming monthly schedule contains 12 games. Approximately 8% of students at a local high school participate in after- school sports all four years of high school. A group of 60 seniors is randomly chosen. Of interest is the number who participated in after-school sports all four years of high school. a. In words, define the random variable\( X.\) b. List the values that \(X\) may take on. c. Give the distribution of \(X . X \sim\) ___ (___,____) d. How many seniors are expected to have participated in after-school sports all four years of high school? e. Based on numerical values, would you be surprised if none of the seniors participated in after-school sports all four years of high school? Justify your answer numerically. f. Based upon numerical values, is it more likely that four or that five of the seniors participated in after-school sports all four years of high school? Justify your answer numerically.
Problem 99
Use the following information to answer the next two exercises: The probability that the San Jose Sharks will win any given game is 0.3694 based on a 13-year win history of 382 wins out of 1,034 games played (as of a certain date). An upcoming monthly schedule contains 12 games. The chance of an IRS audit for a tax return with over \(\$ 25,000\) in income is about 2% per year. We are interested in the expected number of audits a person with that income has in a 20-year period. Assume each year is independent. a. In words, define the random variable \( X\). b. List the values that \(X\) may take on. c. Give the distribution of \(X . X \sim\) ___ (___,____) d. How many audits are expected in a 20-year period? e. Find the probability that a person is not audited at all. f. Find the probability that a person is audited more than twice.
Problem 102
Use the following information to answer the next two exercises: The probability that the San Jose Sharks will win any given game is 0.3694 based on a 13-year win history of 382 wins out of 1,034 games played (as of a certain date). An upcoming monthly schedule contains 12 games. According to The World Bank, only 9% of the population of Uganda had access to electricity as of 2009. Suppose we randomly sample 150 people in Uganda. Let \(X\) = the number of people who have access to electricity. a. What is the probability distribution for \(X\)? b. Using the formulas, calculate the mean and standard deviation of \(X\). c. Use your calculator to find the probability that 15 people in the sample have access to electricity. d. Find the probability that at most ten people in the sample have access to electricity. e. Find the probability that more than 25 people in the sample have access to electricity.
