Chapter 4: Q72E (page 247)

Question:Male nannies. According to the International Nanny Association (INA), 4,176 nannies were placed in a job during a recent year (www.nanny.org). Of these, only 24 were men. In Exercise 3.12 (p. 169) you found the probability that a randomly selected nanny who was placed during a recent year is a man. Now use the hypergeometric distribution to find the probability that in a random sample of 10 nannies who were placed during a recent year, at least 1 is a man

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that among 10 nannies were placed, at least 1 is a man is 0.057.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The total number of nannies were placed in a job is

N = 4176

Number of men nannies is

M = 24

The sample size is n =10

02

 Step 2: To find the probability of male nanny

p(malenanny)=MN=244176=0.0057

Therefore, the probability of male nanny is 0.0057.

03

Compute the probability

A minimum of two steps are required.

Here, we use hypergeometric distribution to finding the probability,

p(x=0)=2404176-2410-0417610=240415210417610=0.943

Togettherequiredprobablityp(x鈮�1)=1-p(x=0)=1-0.943=0.057

Therefore, the probability is 0.057.

Ranking PhD programs in economics. Refer to the SouthernEconomic Journal(April 2008) rankings of PhD programsin economics at 129 colleges and universities, Exercise 2.103(p. 117). Recall that the number of publications published byfaculty teaching in the PhD program and the quality of thepublications were used to calculate an overall productivityscore for each program. The mean and standard deviationof these 129 productivity scores were then used to computea z-score for each economics program. The data (z-scores)for all 129 economic programs are saved in the accompanying

file. A Minitab normal probability plot for the z-scores isshown below. Use the graph to assess whether the data areapproximately normal.

Ages of 鈥渄ot-com鈥� employees. The age (in years) distribution for the employees of a highly successful 鈥渄ot-com鈥� company headquartered in Atlanta is shown in the next table. An employee is to be randomly selected from this population.

  1. Can the relative frequency distribution in the table be interpreted as a probability distribution? Explain.
  2. Graph the probability distribution.
  3. What is the probability that the randomly selected employee is over 30 years of age? Over 40 years of age? Under 30 years of age?
  4. What is the probability that the randomly selected employee will be 25 or 26 years old?

Gender discrimination suit. The Journal of Business & Economic Statistics (July 2000) presented a case in which a charge of gender discrimination was filed against the U.S. Postal Service. At the time, there were 302 U.S. Postal Service employees (229 men and 73 women) who applied for promotion. Of the 72 employees who were awarded promotion, 5 were female. Make an inference about whether or not females at the U.S. Postal Service were promoted fairly.

4.126 Wear-out of used display panels.Wear-out failure time ofelectronic components is often assumed to have a normaldistribution. Can the normal distribution be applied to thewear-out of used manufactured products, such as coloreddisplay panels? A lot of 50 used display panels was purchasedby an outlet store. Each panel displays 12 to 18 colorcharacters. Prior to the acquisition, the panels had been usedfor about one-third of their expected lifetimes. The data inthe accompanying table (saved in the file) give the failuretimes (in years) of the 50 used panels. Use the techniquesof this section to determine whether the used panel wear-outtimes are approximately normally distributed.
