Languages in Canada Canada has two official languages, English and French. Choose a Canadian at random and ask, 鈥淲hat is your mother tongue?鈥

Here is the distribution of responses, combining many separate languages from the broad Asia/Pacific region:6Language: English French Asian/Pacific Other Probability: 0.630.220.06?

(a) What probability should replace 鈥?鈥 in the distribution? Why?

(b) What is the probability that a Canadian鈥檚 mother tongue is not English?

(c) What is the probability that a Canadian鈥檚 mother tongue is a language other than English or French?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) The probability of other =0.09

Part (b) The probability of not English=0.37

Part (c) The probability is0.15

Step by step solution

01

Part (a)  Step 1. Given Information 

The likelihood of English, P(E)=0.63

The likelihood of French, P(F)=0.22

The likelihood of Asian/Pacific, P(AP)=0.06

02

Part (a) Step 2. Concept Used  

An event is a subset of an experiment's total number of outcomes. The ratio of the number of elements in an event to the number of total outcomes is the probability of that occurrence.

03

Part (a)  Step 3. Calculation   

The following are the conditions for probability distribution: 1) The probabilities must be

2)The sum of all probability should equal 1. Using condition 2, 0.63+0.22+0.06+P(other)=1P(Other)=1-0.91=0.09

04

Part (b) Step 1. Calculation   

P(Ac)=1-P(A)Using the complementary probability formula,P(notEnglish)=1-P(English)=1-0.63=0.37

05

Part (c) Step 1. Calculation  

P(AorB)=P(A)+P(B)The likelihood that a Canadian's mother tongue language is neither English or French denotes the Asian/Pacific or Other language. By applying a formula,P(Asian/PacificorOther)=P(Asian/Pacific)+P(Other)P(Asian/PacificorOther)=0.06+0.09=0.15

Tossing coins Imagine tossing a fair coin 3 times. (a) What is the sample space for this chance

process? (b) What is the assignment of probabilities to outcomes in this sample space?

Probability models? In each of the following situations, state whether or not the given assignment of probabilities to individual outcomes is legitimate, that is, satisfies the rules of probability. If not, give specific reasons for your answer.

(a) Roll a die and record the count of spots on the up-face: P(1) = 0, P(2) = 1/6, P(3) = 1/3, P(4) = 1/3,

P(5) = 1/6, P(6) = 0.

(b) Choose a college student at random and record gender and enrollment status: P(female full-time) = 0.56, P(male full-time) = 0.44, P(female part-time) = 0.24, P(male part-time) = 0.17.

(c) Deal a card from a shuffled deck: P(clubs) = 12/52, P(diamonds) = 12/52, P(hearts) = 12/52,

P(spades) = 16/52.

Scrabble In the game of Scrabble, each player begins by drawing 7 tiles from a bag containing 100 files. There are 42 vowels, 56 consonants, and 2 blank tiles in the bag. Chait chooses her 7 tiles and is surprised to discover that all of them are vowels. We can use a simulation to see if this result is likely to happen

by chance.

(a) State the question of interest using the language of probability.

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

(c) Use the line of random digits below to perform one repetition. Copy these digits onto your paper. Mark directly on or above them to show how you

determined the outcomes of the change process. 00694 05977 19664 65441 20903 62371 22725 53340

(d) In 1000 repetitions of the simulation, there were 2 times when all 7 tiles were vowels. What conclusion would you draw?

At the gym Suppose that 10%of adults belong to health clubs, and 40% of these health club members go to the club at least twice a week. What percent of all adults go to a health club at least twice a week? Write the information given in terms of probabilities, and use the general multiplication rule.

Brushing teeth, wasting water? A recent study reported that fewer than half of young adults turn off the water while brushing their teeth. Is the same true for teenagers? To find out, a group of statistics students asked an SRS of 60 students at their school if they usually brush with the water off. How many

students in the sample would need to say 鈥淣o鈥 to provide convincing evidence that fewer than half of the students at the school brush with the water off? The Fathom dot plot below shows the results of taking 200 SRSs of 60 students from a population in which the true proportion who brush with the

water off is 0.50.

(a) Suppose 27 students in the class鈥檚 sample say 鈥淣o.鈥 Explain why this result does not give convincing evidence that fewer than half of the school鈥檚 students brush their teeth with the water off.

(b) Suppose 18 students in the class鈥檚 sample say 鈥淣o.鈥 Explain why this result gives strong evidence that fewer than 50% of the school鈥檚 students brush

their teeth with the water off.
