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%

In government data, a household consists of all occupants of a dwelling unit. Choose an American household at random and count the number of

people it contains. Here is the assignment of probabilities for your outcome:

The probability of finding 3people in a household is the same as the probability of finding 4people. These probabilities are marked ??? in the table of the distribution. The probability that a household contains 3 people must be

(a) 0.68(b) 0.32(c) 0.16(d) 0.08(e) between 0 and1, and we can say no more.

A Titanic disaster Refer to Exercise 64.

(a) Find P(survived | second class).
