Kids and toys Refer to Exercise 4. Calculate the mean of the random variable X and interpret this result in context.

Short Answer

Expert verified

On average there are 2.68 toys that are played with.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The probability distribution of the number X of toys played with by a randomly selected subject is as follows:

02

Explanation

The expected value is calculated by multiplying each possibility by its probability:

E(X)=鈭�xP(x)=0脳0.03+1脳0.16+2脳0.30+3脳0.23+4脳0.17+5脳0.11=2.68

(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.

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:

76. Rhubarb Suppose you purchase a bundle of 10bare-root rhubarb plants. The sales clerk tells you that on average you can expect 5%of the plants to die before producing any rhubarb. Assume that the bundle is a random sample of plants. Let Y= the number of plants that die before producing any rhubarb. Use the binomial probability formula to find
P(Y=1). Interpret this result in context.
