Chapter 10: Q. 2 (page 667)

The probability that Color Me Dandy wins a horse race at Batavia Downs given good track conditions is 0.60. The probability of good track conditions on any given day is 0.85. What is the probability that Color Me Dandy wins or the track conditions are good?

(a)0.94

(b)0.51

(c)0.49

(d) 0.06

(e) The answer cannot be determined from the given information.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that Color Me Dandy wins or the track conditions are good is:

(e) The answer cannot be determined from the given information.

Step by step solution

01

Definition

General multiplication rule:

P(AandB)=P(A鈭�B)=P(A)脳P(B鈭�A)=P(B)脳P(A鈭�B)

General addition rule for any two events:

P(AorB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(AandB)

02

Explanation

P(ColorMeDandywins鈭�Goodtrack)=0.60

P(Goodtrack)=0.85

By the general multiplication rule, we can then determine P (Color Me Dandy wins and Good track) (which is the product of P( Color Me Dandy wins \mid Good track ) and P( Good track ).

However, we note that using the general addition rule, we need P(Color Me Dandy wins) to determine P(Color Me Dandy wins or Good track), and so we can't predict the answer from the given data because we don't know the probability P. (Color Me Dandy wins)..

The elderly fear crime more than younger people, even though they are less likely to be victims of crime. One study recruited separate random samples of 56black women and 63black men over the age of 65from Atlantic City, New Jersey. Of the women, 27said they 鈥渇elt vulnerable鈥� to crime; 46of the men said this.

(a) Construct and interpret a 90%confidence interval for the difference in population proportions (men minus women).

(b) Does your interval from part (a) give convincing evidence of a difference between the population proportions? Explain.

A study of road rage asked samples of 596men and 523women about their behaviour while driving. Based on their answers, each person was assigned a road rage score on a scale of 0to20. The participants were chosen by random digit dialling of telephone numbers. We suspect that men are more prone to road rage than women. To see if this is true, test these hypotheses for the mean road rage scores of all male and female drivers

(a) H0:渭M=渭FversusH0:渭M>渭F

(b) H0:渭M=渭FversusH0:渭M鈮�渭F

(c) role="math" localid="1650363760526" H0:渭M=渭FversusH0:渭M<渭F

(d) H0:x炉M=x炉FversusH0:x炉M>x炉F

(e)H0:x炉M=x炉FversusH0:x炉M<xF

According to sleep researchers, if you are between the ages of 12and 18years old, you need 9hours of sleep to be fully functional. A simple random sample of 28students was chosen from a large high school, and these students were asked how much sleep they got the previous night. The mean of the responses was 7.9hours, with a standard deviation of 2.1hours.

Which of the following is the test statistic for the hypothesis test?

(a)t=7.9-92.128

(b)t=9-7.92.128

(c)t=7.9-92.128

(d)t=7.9-92.127

(e)t=9-7.92.127

The heights of young men follow a Normal distribution with mean of 69.3inches and standard deviation 2.8inches. The heights of young women follow a Normal distribution with mean 64.5inches and standard deviation 2.5inches.

(a) Let M =the height of a randomly selected young man and W =the height of a randomly selected young woman. Describe the shape, center, and spread of the distribution of M-W

(b) Find the probability that a randomly selected young man is at least 2inches taller than a randomly selected young woman. Show your work.

42. Long words Mary was interested in comparing the mean word length in articles from a medical journal and an airline鈥檚 in-flight magazine. She counted the number of letters in the first 200 words of an article in
the medical journal and in the first 100 words of an article in the airline magazine. Mary then used Minitab statistical software to produce the histograms shown.
