Chapter 6: Q. 79 (page 404)

79. Sowing seeds Refer to Exercise 69.

(a) Find the probability that exactly17 seeds germinate. Show your work.
(b) If only 12seeds actually germinate, should Judy be suspicious that the company鈥檚 claim is not true? Compute P(X鈮�12)and use this result to support your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The probability that exactly 17seeds germinate is P(X=17)=24.28%.

(b) Judy should be suspicious and the value isP(X鈮�12)鈮�0.0059鈮�0.59%.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information 

The probability for the exactly 17seeds germinate.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation 

Given: n=20, and p=0.85
The Binomial Probability:
P(X=k)=nk脳pk脳(1鈭�p)n鈭�k

P(X=17)=2017脳(0.85)17脳(0.15)20鈭�17鈮�0.2428=24.28%

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information 

Let,12 seeds actually germinate. And compute the value P(X鈮�12).

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation 

Given: n=20, and p=0.85.

Let's use the binomial Probability:

P(X=k)=nk脳pk脳(1-p)n-k
P(X鈮�12)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+鈥�+P(X=12)鈮�0.0059鈮�0.59%

As a result, the probability is low (less than0.05), indicating that the event is unlikely to happen by chance.

88. Scrabble In the game of Scrabble, each player begins by drawing 7 tiles from a bag containing 100tiles. There are 42vowels, 56 consonants, and 2 blank tiles in the bag. Cait chooses her7 tiles and is surprised to discover that all of them are vowels. Can we use a binomial distribution to approximate this probability? Justify your answer

A large auto dealership keeps track of sales and leases agreements made during each hour of the day. Let X= the number of cars sold and Y= the number of cars leased during the 铿乺st hour of business on a randomly selected Friday. Based on previous records, the probability distributions of Xand Yare as follows:

顿别铿乶别 蟿=蠂+纬

The dealership鈥檚 manager receives a 500bonus for each car sold and a 300 bonus for each car leased. Find the mean and standard deviation of the manager鈥檚 total bonus B. Show your work.

51. His and her earnings A study of working couples measures the income Xof the husband and the income Yof the wife in a large number of couples in which both partners are employed. Suppose that you knew the means 渭Xand 渭Yand the variances 蟽X2and 蟽纬2 of both variables in the population.
(a) Is it reasonable to take the mean of the total income X+Yto be 渭X+渭Y ? Explain your answer.
(b) Is it reasonable to take the variance of the total income to be 蟽X2+蟽y2 ? Explain your answer.

(a) In blackjack, you are dealt two cards and examine the total points localid="1649903945891" Xon the cards (face cards count localid="1649903950298" 10points). You can choose to be dealt another card and compete based on the total pointslocalid="1649903956461" Y on all three cards.
(b) In craps, the betting is based on successive rolls of two dice. localid="1649903966379" Xis the sum of the faces on the first roll, and localid="1649903971075" Yis the sum of the faces on the next roll.
