Chapter 4: Q88E (page 192)

A sample of \({\rm{15}}\) female collegiate golfers was selected and the clubhead velocity (km/hr) while swinging a driver was determined for each one, resulting in the following data

The corresponding \({\rm{z}}\) percentiles are

Short Answer

Yes

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Probability

Club head speed, as the name implies, refers to how quickly the club head moves when you strike your shot. At impact with the ball, the speed is measured, and it is virtually always done with the driver.

02

Resulting the data

Although there is some curvature in the probability plot, it is (perhaps) appropriate to employ estimating methods that assume a normal population distribution.

Find the following percentiles for the standard normal distribution. Interpolate where appropriate.

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{{\rm{a}}{\rm{. 91st}}}\\\begin{array}{l}{\rm{b}}{\rm{. 9th }}\\{\rm{c}}{\rm{. 75th }}\\{\rm{d}}{\rm{. 25th }}\\{\rm{e}}{\rm{. }}{{\rm{6}}^{{\rm{th}}}}\end{array}\end{array}\)

When a dart is thrown at a circular target, consider the location of the landing point relative to the bull鈥檚 eye. Let \({\rm{X}}\) be the angle in degrees measured from the horizontal, and assume that \({\rm{X}}\) is uniformly distributed on \(\left( {{\rm{0, 360}}} \right){\rm{.}}\)Define\({\rm{Y}}\)to be the transformed variable \({\rm{Y = h(X) = (2\pi /360)X - \pi ,}}\) so \({\rm{Y}}\) is the angle measured in radians and\({\rm{Y}}\)is between \({\rm{ - \pi and \pi }}\). Obtain \({\rm{E(Y)}}\)and\({{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{y}}}\)by first obtaining E(X) and \({{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}\), and then using the fact that \({\rm{h(X)}}\) is a linear function of \({\rm{X}}\).

Let X denote the distance \({\rm{(m)}}\) that an animal moves from its birth site to the first territorial vacancy it encounters. Suppose that for banner-tailed kangaroo rats, X has an exponential distribution with parameter \({\rm{\lambda = }}{\rm{.01386}}\) (as suggested in the article "Competition and Dispersal from Multiple Nests," Ecology, 1997: 873-883).

a. What is the probability that the distance is at most \({\rm{100\;m}}\)? At most \({\rm{200\;m}}\) ? Between 100 and\({\rm{200\;m}}\)?

b. What is the probability that distance exceeds the mean distance by more than 2 standard deviations?

c. What is the value of the median distance?

The article suggests the lognormal distribution as a model for \({\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}\)concentration above a certain forest. Suppose the parameter values are \({\rm{\mu = 1}}{\rm{.9}}\)and \({\rm{\sigma = 0}}{\rm{.9}}\).

a. What are the mean value and standard deviation of concentration?

b. What is the probability that concentration is at most \({\rm{10}}\)? Between \({\rm{5}}\) and \({\rm{10}}\)?

Rockwell hardness of a metal is determined by impressing a hardened point into the surface of the metal and then measuring the depth of penetration of the point. Suppose the Rockwell hardness of a particular alloy is normally distributed with a mean of\({\bf{70}}\)and a standard deviation of\({\bf{3}}\). a. If a specimen is acceptable only if its hardness is between 67 and 75, what is the probability that a randomly chosen specimen has an acceptable hardness? b. If the acceptable range of hardness is\(\left( {{\bf{70}} - {\bf{c}},{\rm{ }}{\bf{70}} + {\bf{c}}} \right)\), for what value of c would\({\bf{95}}\% \)of all specimens have acceptable hardness? c. If the acceptable range is as in part (a) and the hardness of each of ten randomly selected specimens is independently determined, what is the expected number of acceptable specimens among the ten? d. What is the probability that at most eight of ten independently selected specimens have a hardness of less than\({\bf{73}}.{\bf{84}}\)?
