USDA chicken inspection. In Exercise 3.19 (p. 170), you learned that one in every 100 slaughtered chickens passes USDA inspection with fecal contamination. Consider a random sample of three slaughtered chickens that all pass USDA inspection. Let x equal the number of chickens in the sample that has fecal contamination.

  1. Find p(x)for x = 0, 1, 2, 3.
  2. Graph p(x).
  3. Find P(x1).

Short Answer

a.

b. The graph is given below:

c.12

Step by step solution

01

(a) List of possible outcomes

Let C and N be denoted as contaminated and uncontaminated chickens, respectively, and accordingly, a list of outcomes of 3 randomly picked slaughtered chickens are shown below

02

Calculation of p(x)

The calculations p(x) for each of the values of x representing the number of contaminated slaughtered chickens are shown below.

Therefore, for x equal to 0 and 1, the probability is 18, and for x equal to 1 and 2, it is 38.

03

(b) List of possible outcomes

Here the values of x denote the number of contaminated chickens being randomly picked, and accordingly, the probability distribution table is shown below:

04

Elucidation on the graph

In the graph, the vertical axis consists of the probability distribution values, and the horizontal axis consists of the number of contaminated chickens as represented by x.The blue bars represent the probability distributions of the number of contaminated chickens.

05

(c) List of possible outcomes

In this case, for simplicity, C and N have been chosen to denote contaminated and uncontaminated chickens, respectively, as shown below

06

Calculation of P(x≤1)

P(x1)means that the three chickens chosen will contain a maximum of one contaminated chicken, and it can be observed that only four types of combinations can occur.

Therefore, by dividing 4 by 8, it P(x1)comes out to be12.

Buy-side vs. sell-side analysts鈥 earnings forecasts. Financial analysts who make forecasts of stock prices are categorized as either 鈥渂uy-side鈥 analysts or 鈥渟ell-side鈥 analysts. Refer to the Financial Analysts Journal (July/August 2008) comparison of earnings forecasts of buy-side and sell-side analysts, Exercise 2.86 (p. 112). The mean and standard deviation of forecast errors for both types of analysts are reproduced in the table. Assume that the distribution of forecast errors are approximately normally distributed.

a. Find the probability that a buy-side analyst has a forecast error of +2.00 or higher.

b. Find the probability that a sell-side analyst has a forecast error of +2.00 or higher

Mailrooms contaminated with anthrax. During autumn 2001, there was a highly publicized outbreak of anthrax cases among U.S. Postal Service workers. In Chance (Spring 2002), research statisticians discussed the problem of sampling mailrooms for the presence of anthrax spores. Let x equal the number of mailrooms contaminated with anthrax spores in a random sample of n mailrooms selected from a population of N mailrooms. The researchers showed that the probability distribution for x is given by the formula P(x)=(kx)(N-kn-x)(Nn)

where k is the number of contaminated mailrooms in the population. (In Section 4.4 we identify this probability distribution as the hypergeometric distribution.) Suppose N = 100, n = 3, and k = 20.

a. Find p(0).

b. Find p(1)

. c. Find p(2).

d. Find p(3)

Do social robots walk or roll? Refer to the International Conference on Social Robotics (Vol. 6414, 2010) study of the trend in the design of social robots, Exercise 2.3 (p. 72). Recall that in a random sample of 106 social (or service) robots designed to entertain, educate, and care for human users, 63 were built with legs only, 20 with wheels only, 8 with both legs and wheels, and 15 with neither legs nor wheels. Assume the following: Of the 63 robots with legs only, 50 have two legs, 5 have three legs, and 8 have four legs; of the 8 robots with both legs and wheels, all 8 have two legs. Suppose one of the 106 social robots is randomly selected. Let x equal the number of legs on the robot.

  1. List the possible values of x.
  2. Find the probability distribution of x.
  3. Find E(x)and give a practical interpretation of its value.
