Chapter 6: Q. 80 (page 404)

80. More lefties Refer to Exercise 72.

(a) Find the probability that exactly 3students in the sample are left-handed. Show your work.
(b) Would you be surprised if the random sample contained 4or more left-handed students? Compute P(W鈮�4) and use this result to support your
answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The probability is P(X=3)=12.85%

(b) The probability is P(X鈮�4)鈮�5.56%and not surprised by 4 or more left-handed students.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information 

The probability that exactly 3students in the sample are left-handed.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation 

Given: n=15, andp=0.10

The Binomial Probability:

P(X=k)=nk脳pk脳(1-p)n-k

Then for k=3,

P(X=3)=153脳(0.10)3脳(0.90)15-3

localid="1650028682048" 鈮�0.1285=12.85%.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information 

The random sample contained 4 or more left-handed students. And compute for the value P(W鈮�4).

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation 

Given: n=20and p=0.85

The Binomial Probability:

P(X=k)=nk脳pk脳(1-p)n-k
P(X鈮�4)=P(X=4)+P(X=5)+鈥�+P(X=15)鈮�0.0556鈮�5.56%

Benford鈥檚 law and fraud Refer to Exercise 13. It might also be possible to detect an employee鈥檚 fake expense records by looking at the variability in the first digits of those expense amounts.

(a) Calculate the standard deviation 蟽Y. This gives us an idea of how much variation we鈥檇 expect in the employee鈥檚 expense records if he assumed that first digits from 1 to 9 were equally likely.

(b) Now calculate the standard deviation of first digits that follow Benford鈥檚 law (Exercise 5). Would using standard deviations be a good way to detect fraud? Explain.

Ana is a dedicated Skee Ballplayer (see photo) who always rolls for the 50-point slot. The probability distribution of Ana's score Xon a single roll of the ball is shown below. You can check that 渭X=23.8and 蟽X=12.63.

(a) A player receives one ticket from the game for every 10points scored. Make a graph of the probability distribution for the random variable T=number of tickets Ana gets on a randomly selected throw. Describe its shape.

(b) Find and interpret 渭T.

(c) Compute and interpret 蟽T.

To introduce her class to binomial distributions, Mrs. Desai gives a 10 -item, multiple-choice quiz. The catch is, that students must simply guess an answer (A through E) for each question. Mrs. Desai uses her computer's random number generator to produce the answer key so that each possible answer has an equal chance to be chosen. Patti is one of the students in this class. Let X=the number of Patti's correct guesses.

1. Show that Xis a binomial random variable.

Better readers?(1.3) Did students have higher reading scores after participating in the chess program? Give appropriate statistical evidence to support your answer.

A small ferry runs every half hour from one side of a large river to the other. The number of cars Xon a randomly chosen ferry trip has the probability distribution shown below. You can check that 渭X=3.87and 蟽X=1.29.

(a) The cost for the ferry trip is $5. Make a graph of the probability distribution for the random variable M=money collected on a randomly selected ferry trip. Describe its shape.

(b) Find and interpret 渭M.

(c) Compute and interpret 蟽M.
