Step by step solution

01

Computation of  μ

a. The product of the value of n (number of trials), which is 25, and the value of p (number of successes), which is 0.5, will give the value of the meanμ:

μ=np=25×0.5=12.5

The computed value of μis 12.5.

02

Computation of  σ2

The product of the value of n, which is 25, the value of p, which is 0.5, and the value of q, which is 0.5, will give the value of the variance σ2:

σ2=npq=np1-p=25×0.51-0.5=25×0.5×0.5=6.25

The computed value of σ2 is 6.25.

03

Computation of  σ

The square root of the value ofσ2, which is 6.25, will give the value of the standard deviationσ:

role="math" localid="1655710063873" σ=σ2=6.25=2.5

The computed value ofσis 2.5.

04

Computation of  μ

μ=np=100×0.6=60

The computed value ofμis 60.

08

Computation of  σ2

The product of the value of n, which is 100, the value of p, which is 0.6, and the value of q, which is 0.4, will give the value of σ2:

σ2=npq=np1-p=100×0.61-0.6=100×0.6×0.4=24

Thus, the computed value of σ2is 24.

09

Computation of  σ

The square root of the value of σ2, which is 24, will give the value of σ:

σ=σ2=24=4.9

The computed value ofσis 4.9.

10

Computation of  

d. The product of the value of n, which is 70, and the value of p, which is 0.9, will give the value of μ:

role="math" localid="1655707768889" μ=np=70×0.9=63

The computed value ofμ is 63.

11

Computation of  

The product of the value of n, which is 70, the value of p, which is 0.9, and the value of q, which is 0.1, will give the value of σ2:

σ2=npq=np1-p=70×0.91-0.9=70×0.9×0.1=6.3

The computed value of σ2is 6.3

12

Computation of  σ

The square root of the value of σ2, which is 6.3, will give the value of σ:

σ=σ2=63=7.94

The computed value ofσ is 7.94.

13

Computation of  μ

e. The product of the value of n, which is 48, and the value of p, which is 0.8, will give the value of μ:

μ=np=60×0.8=48

The computed value ofμis 48.

14

Computation of  σ2

The product of the value of n, which is 48, the value of p, which is 0.8, and the value of q, which is 0.2, will give the value of σ2:

σ2=npq=np(1-p)=60×0.81-0.8=60×0.8×0.2=9.6

The computed value ofσ2is 9.6.

15

Computation of  σ

The square root of the value of σ2, which is 9.6, will give the value of σ:

σ=σ2=9.6=3.1

The computed value ofσ is 3.1.

16

Computation of  μ

The product of the value of n, which is 1000, and the value of p, which is 0.04, will give the value of μ:

μ=np=1000×0.04=40

The computed value of μ is 40.

17

Computation of  σ2

The product of the value of n, which is 1000, the value of p, which is 0.04, and the value of q, which is 0.96, will give the value of σ2:

σ2=npq=np(1-p)=1000×0.041-0.04=1000×0.04×0.96=38.4

The computed value of σ2is 38.4.

18

Computation of  σ 

The square root of the value of σ2, which is 38.4, will give the value of σ:

role="math" localid="1655702205065" σ=σ2=38.4=6.2

The computed value of σis 6.2.

Waiting for a car wash. An automatic car wash takes exactly 5 minutes to wash a car. On average, 10 cars per hour arrive at the car wash. Suppose that 30 minutes before closing time, 5 cars are in line. If the car wash is in continuous use until closing time, will anyone likely be in line at closing time?

Shear strength of rock fractures. Understanding the characteristics

of rock masses, especially the nature of the fracturesis essential when building dams and power plants.The shear strength of rock fractures was investigated inEngineering Geology(May 12, 2010). The Joint RoughnessCoefficient (JRC) was used to measure shear strength.Civil engineers collected JRC data for over 750 rock fractures.The results (simulated from information provided in the article) are summarized in the accompanying SPSShistogram. Should the engineers use the normal probabilitydistribution to model the behavior of shear strength forrock fractures? Explain

Find the following probabilities for the standard normal

random variable z:

a.P(z≤2.1)

b.P(z≥2.1)

c.P(z≥-1.65)

d.P(-2.13≤z≤-.41)

e.P(-1.45≤z≤2.15)

f.P(z≤-1.43)
