Chapter 6: Q.2.3 (page 370)

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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

From the given information, the mean and standard deviation are 760and 509.09respectively.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given in the question that,

渭蠂=1.1,蟽蠂=0.943

渭纬=0.7,蟽纬=0.64

The manager receives a bonus of 500for each sold car and 300for each car sold.

02

Explanation

The mean and standard deviation of the total bonus of the manager can be calculated as:

渭B=500(1.1)+300(0.7)=760蟽B=500(0.943)2+300(0.64)2=509.09

87. Airport security The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is responsible for airport safety. On some flights, TSA officers randomly select
passengers for an extra security check before boarding. One such flight had 76辫补蝉蝉别苍驳别谤蝉鈥�12in first class and 64in coach class. Some passengers were surprised when none of the 10 passengers chosen for
screening were seated in first class. Can we use a binomial distribution to approximate this probability? Justify your answer.

20. Size of American households In government data, a household consists of all occupants of a dwelling unit, while a family consists of two or more persons who live together and are related by blood or marriage. So all families form households, but some households are not families. Here are the distributions of household size and family size in the United States:

Let X = the number of people in a randomly selected U.S. household and Y = the number of people in a randomly chosen U.S. family.
(a) Make histograms suitable for comparing the probability distributions of X and Y. Describe any differences that you observe.
(b) Find the mean for each random variable. Explain why this difference makes sense.
(c) Find the standard deviations of both X and Y. Explain why this difference makes sense.

Benford鈥檚 law and fraud A not-so-clever employee decided to fake his monthly expense report. He believed that the first digits of his expense amounts should be equally likely to be any of the numbers from 1to 9. In that case, the first digit Yof a randomly selected expense amount would have the probability distribution shown in the histogram.

(a). Explain why the mean of the random variable Y is located at the solid red line in the figure.

(b) The first digits of randomly selected expense amounts actually follow Benford鈥檚 law (Exercise 5). What鈥檚 the expected value of the first digit? Explain how this information could be used to detect a fake expense report.

(c) What鈥檚 P(Y>6)? According to Benford鈥檚 law, what proportion of first digits in the employee鈥檚 expense amounts should be greater than 6? How could this information be used to detect a fake expense report?

85. Aircraft engines Engineers define reliability as the probability that an item will perform its function under specific conditions for a specific period of time. A certain model of aircraft engine is designed so that each engine has probability 0.999 of performing properly for an hour of flight. Company engineers test an SRS of 350 engines of this model. Let X= the number that operate for an hour without failure.
(a) Explain whyX is a binomial random variable.

(b) Find the mean and standard deviation ofX. Interpret each value in context.
(c) Two engines failed the test. Are you convinced that this model of engine is less reliable than it鈥檚 supposed to be? Compute P(X鈮�348) and use the result to justify your answer.
