Chapter 5: Q 107. (page 333)

BMI (2.2) People with BMI less than 18.5 are often classed as 鈥渦nderweight.鈥� What percent of young women are underweight by this criterion? Sketch and shade the area of interest under a Normal curve.

Short Answer

Expert verified

P (X < 18.5) = 13.14%

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information

渭 = 26.8

蟽 = 7.4

02

Step 2. Concept used

Conditional probability :PB/A=PAandBPA

03

Step 3. Calculation

The z-score is the difference between the mean and the standard deviation:

z=x鈭�渭蟽=18.5鈭�26.8/7.4鈮�鈭�1.12

Using the normal probability, apply the definitional conditional probability:

P(X<18.5)=P(Z<鈭�1.12)=0.1314=13.14%

Waiting to park (1.3) Do drivers take longer to leave their parking spaces when someone is waiting? Researchers hung out in a parking lot and collected

some data. The graphs and numerical summaries below display information about how long it took drivers to exit their sp\aces.

(a) Write a few sentences comparing these distributions.

(b) Can we conclude that having someone waiting causes drivers to leave their spaces more slowly? Why or why not?

The birthday problem What鈥檚 the probability that in a randomly selected group of30 unrelated people, at least two have the same birthday? Let鈥檚 make two

assumptions to simplify the problem. First, we鈥檒l ignore the possibility of a February 29 birthday. Second, we assume that a randomly chosen person is equally likely to be born on each of the remaining 365 days of the year.

(a) How would you use random digits to imitate one repetition of the process? What variable would you measure?

(b) Use technology to perform 5 repetitions. Record the outcome of each repetition.

(c) Would you be surprised to learn that the theoretical probability is 0.71? Why or why not?

Color-blind men About7%of men in the United States have some form of red-green color blindness. Suppose we randomly select one U.S. adult male at a time until we find one who is red-green color-blind. How many men would we expect to choose, on average? Design and carry out a simulation to answer this question. Follow the four-step process.

Education among young adults Chooses a young adult (aged 25 to 29) at random. The probability is 0.13 that the person chosen did not complete high school, 0.29 that the person has a high school diploma but no further education, and 0.30 that the person has at least a bachelor鈥檚 degree.

(a) What must be the probability that a randomly chosen young adult has some education beyond high school but does not have a bachelor鈥檚 degree? Why?

(b) What is the probability that a randomly chosen young adult has at least a high school education? Which rule of probability did you use to find the

answer?

Explain why P(AorB)鈮�P(A)+P(B). Then use the general addition rule to findP(AorB).
