Chapter 4: Q. 80 (page 292)

Florida State University has $14$ statistics classes scheduled for its Summer $2013$ term. One class has space available for $30$ students, eight classes have space for $60$ students, one class has space for $70$ students, and four classes have space for $100$ students.
a. What is the average class size assuming each class is filled to capacity?
b. Space is available for $980$ students. Suppose that each class is filled to capacity and select a statistics student at random. Let the random variable $X$ equal the size of the student鈥檚 class. Define the PDF for $X$ .
c. Find the mean of $X$ .
d. Find the standard deviation of $X$ .

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The number of scholars are $70$

b) The table containing variables $X$ and $P (x)$

c) The typical class size and also the mean is $70$ .

d) Variance is $20.702$

Step by step solution

Given information (part a)

The number of classes which has a space for $30$ students $= 1$

The number of classes which has a space for $60$ students $= 8$

The number of classes which has a space for $70$ students $= 1$

The number of classes which has a space for $100$ students $= 4$

Explanation (part a)

The numberof scholars:

$= \frac{30 + (8 脳 60) + 70 + (4 脳 100)}{14} = 70$

Given information (part b)

The number of classes which has a space for $30$ students $= 1$

The number of classes which has a space for $60$ students $= 8$

The number of classes which has a space for $70$ students $= 1$

The number of classes which has a space for $100$ students $= 4$

Explanation (part b)

The category length is about by variable X. Tables containing variables and likelihood are offered as

$X$	$P (X)$
$30$	$\frac{1}{14}$
$60$	$\frac{8}{14}$
$90$	$\frac{1}{14}$
$100$	$\frac{4}{14}$

Given information (part c)

The number of classes which has a space for $30$ students $= 1$

The number of classes which has a space for $60$ students $= 8$

The number of classes which has a space for $70$ students $= 1$

The number of classes which has a space for $100$ students $= 4$

Explanation (part c)

Variable X has such a method value

$渭 = 30 (\frac{1}{14}) + 60 (\frac{8}{14}) + 70 (\frac{1}{14}) + 100 (\frac{4}{14}) = 70$

Given information (part d)

The number of classes which has a space for $30$ students $= 1$

The number of classes which has a space for $60$ students $= 8$

The number of classes which has a space for $70$ students $= 1$

The number of classes which has a space for $100$ students $= 4$

Explanation (part d)

Constant X's Variance was

$蟽 = \sqrt{\underset{x}{鈭�} 鈥� (x 鈭� 渭)^{2} P (x)} = 20.702$
