Chapter 5: Q T5.3. (page 336)

Choose an American household at random and record the number of vehicles they own. Here is the probability model if we ignore the few households that own more than 5 cars: A housing company builds houses with two-car garages. What percent of households have more cars than the

garage can hold? (a)7%(b)13%(c)20%(d)45%(e)55%

Short Answer

Expert verified

The percentage is 20%.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given

The table is:

02

Step 2. Concept 

The probability of an event=numberoffavourableoutcomestotalnumberofoutcomes

03

Step 3. Calculation

The percentage of houses with cards that could be held by the garage is calculated as follows:

P(X>2)=P(X=3)+P(X=4)+P(X=5)=0.13+0.05+0.02=0.20=20%

As a result, the needed percentage is 20%

As a result, the best solution is (c).

The casino game craps is based on rolling two dice. Here is the assignment of probabilities to the sum of the numbers on the up-faces when two dice are rolled: pass line bettor wins immediately if either a 7 or an 11 comes up on the first roll. This is called a natural. What is the probability of a natural?

(a) 2/36 (c) 8/36 (e)20/36

(b) 6/36 (d) 12/36

Get rich A survey of 4826 randomly selected young adults (aged 19 to 25) asked, 鈥淲hat do you think are the chances you will have much more than a middle-class income at age 30?鈥� The two-way table shows the responses.

14 Choose a survey respondent at random.

(a) Given that the person selected is male, what鈥檚 the probability that he answered 鈥渁lmost certain鈥�?

(b) If the person selected said 鈥渟ome chance but probably not,鈥� what鈥檚 the probability that the person is female?

Sampling senators The two-way table below describes the members of the U.S Senate in a recent year. Male Female Democrats 4713 Republicans 364

(a) Who are the individuals? What variables are being measured?

(b) If we select a U.S. senator at random, what鈥檚 the probability that we choose

  • a Democrat?
  • a female?
  • a female Democrat?
  • a female or a Democrat?

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.

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.
