(a) Show that this is a legitimate probability distribution.
(b) Make a histogram of the probability distribution. Describe what you see.
(c) Describe the event Y<7words. Wthat isP(Y<7)?
(d) Express the event 鈥渨orked out at least once鈥 in terms of Y1. What is the probability of this event?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The probability distribution provided is a legitimate probability distribution.

(b) The distribution is right-skewed, with the highest bar to the left and a tail of bars to the right.

(c) The probability isP(Y<7)=0.98

(d) The probability isP(Y1)=0.32

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

To show that the probability distribution is a legitimate probability distribution.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation 

Determine the sum of probabilities as follows:

Sum of probabilities =0.68+0.05+0.08+0.05+0.01+0.02

=1

The probability range from 0 to ,1 and the sum of the probabilities equals 1.
As a result, the probability distribution provided is a legitimate probability distribution.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

To make a histogram of the probability distribution and interpret it.

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

To histogram of the probability distribution as follows:

The distribution is right-skewed, with the highest bar to the left and a tail of bars to the right.

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given information

To describe the event Y<7andP(Y<7).

06

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

Since,X<7 denotes that number of days that people workout is less than 7.
Let, determine P(X<7)as follows:

P(X<7)=P(X=1)+P(X=2)+..+P(X=6)

=0.68+0.05+..+0.01=0.98

As a result, the probability is 0.98

07

Part (d) Step 1: Given information

To determine the probability of the event. And to express the event 鈥渨orked out at least once鈥 in terms of Y.

08

Part (d) Step 2: Explanation

In terms of Y, the event "exercise at least once" may be expressed as Y1

Then P(Y1)

P(Y1)=1-P(Y<0)

=1-0.68

=0.32

As a result, the probability is 0.32.

A local investment club that meets monthly has 200members ranging in age from 27to81. A cumulative relative frequency graph is shown below. Approximately how many members of the club are more than60 years of age?

(a) 20 (b) 44 (c) 78 (d) 90 (e) 110

The P-value for the test in Question 5 is 0.0087. A correct interpretation of this result is that

(a) the probability that there is no linear relationship between an average number of putts per hole and total winnings for these 69players is 0.0087.

(b) the probability that there is no linear relationship between the average number of putts per hole and total winnings for all players on the PGA Tour鈥檚 world money list is 0.0087.

(c) if there is no linear relationship between an average number of putts per hole and total winnings for the players in the sample, the probability of getting a random sample of 69players yields a least-squares regression line with a slope of -4139198or less is 0.0087.

(d) if there is no linear relationship between an average number of putts per hole and total winnings for the players on the PGA Tour鈥檚 world money list, the probability of getting a random sample of 69 players yields a least-squares regression line with a slope of -4139198or less is 0.0087.

(e) the probability of making a Type II error is0.0087.

Some high school physics students dropped a ball and measured the distance fallen (in centimeters) at various times (in seconds) after its release. If you have studied physics, then you probably know that the theoretical relationship between the variables is distance =490(time)2. A scatterplot of the students鈥 data showed a clear curved pattern. At 0.68seconds after release, the ball had fallen 220.4centimeters. How much more or less did the ball fall than the theoretical model predicts?

(a) More by 226.576centimeters

(b) More by 6.176centimeters

(c) No more and no less

(d) Less by 226.576centimeters

(e) Less by centimeters
