A certain candy has different wrappers for various holidays. During Holiday 1, the candy wrappers are 30%silver, 30%red, and 40%pink. During Holiday 2, the wrappers are 50%silver and 50%blue. In separate random samples of 40candies on Holiday 1and 40candies on Holiday 2, what are the mean and standard deviation of the total number of silver wrappers?

a. 32,18.4

b.32,6.06

c.32,4.29

d.80,18.4

e.80,4.29

Short Answer

Expert verified

The mean and the standers deviation of the total number of the silver wrappers is32,4.29

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

We have to determine the mean and the standers deviation of the total number of the silver wrappers.

02

Simplification

We will use the following concept for standard deviation and for distribution :

Standard deviation:

SD(X+Y)=var(X+Y)

For the Distribution:

Mean(X+Y)=Mean(X)+Mean(Y)

Each distribution is a binomial distribution since the outcome of pulling a silver candy is either yes or no.
Assume that Xis the binomial of holiday 1and Yis the binomial of holiday 2.
X+Y
Representthewholeimage.

X~binomial(40,0.3)Y~binomial(40,0.5)

The sum of the means is the mean of every distribution, regardless of whether it is individual or independent.

Mean(X+Y)=Mean(X)+Mean(Y)Mean(X)=400.3=12Mean(Y)=400.5=20Mean(X+Y)=32

Because the two holidays are unrelated, the overall variation is simply the sum of the individual variances.

Var(X+Y)=Var(X)+Var(Y)

The variance of the binomial is calculated as follows: np(1p).

Var(X)=400.3(10.3)=8.4Var(Y)=400.50.5=10Var(X+Y)=18.4

The standard deviation is

SD(X+Y)=var(X+Y)SD(X+Y)=18.4SD(X+Y)=4.29

Hence, the correct option is (c) 32,4.29

Response bias Does the appearance of the interviewer influence how people respond to a survey question? Ken (white, with blond hair) and Hassan (darker, with Middle Eastern features) conducted an experiment to address this question. They took turns (in a random order) walking up to people on the main street of a small town, identifying themselves as students from a local high school, and asking them, 鈥淒o you support President Obama鈥檚 decision to launch airstrikes in Iraq?鈥 Of the 50people Hassan spoke to, 11said 鈥淵es,鈥 while 21of the 44people Ken spoke to said 鈥淵es.鈥 Construct and interpret a 90%confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of people like these who would say they support President Obama鈥檚 decision when asked by Hassan versus when asked by Ken.

An agricultural station is testing the yields for six different varieties of seed corn. The station has four large fields available, located in four distinctly different parts of the county. The agricultural researchers consider the climatic and soil conditions in the four parts of the county as being quite different, but are reasonably confident that the conditions within each field are fairly similar throughout. The researchers divide each field into six sections and then randomly assign one variety of corn seed to each section in that field. This procedure is done for each field. At the end of the growing season, the corn will be harvested, and the yield (measured in tons per acre) will be compared. Which one of the following statements about the design is correct?

a. This is an observational study because the researchers are watching the corn grow.

b. This a randomized block design with fields as blocks and seed types as treatments.

c. This is a randomized block design with seed types as blocks and fields as treatments.

d. This is a completely randomized design because the six seed types were randomly assigned to the four fields.

e. This is a completely randomized design with24迟谤别补迟尘别苍迟蝉鈥6 seed types and 4 fields.

Ban junk food! A CBS News poll asked 606 randomly selected women and 442

randomly selected men, 鈥淒o you think putting a special tax on junk food would encourage more people to lose weight?鈥 170 of the women and 102 of the men said 鈥淵es.鈥 A 99% confidence interval for the difference (Women 鈥 Men) in the true proportion of people in each population who would say 鈥淵es鈥 is 鈭0.020to0.120. Does the confidence interval provide convincing evidence that the two population proportions are equal? Explain your answer.

I want red!A candy maker offers Child and Adult bags of jelly beans with

different color mixes. The company claims that the Child mix has 30%red jelly beans, while the Adult mix contains 15%red jelly beans. Assume that the candy maker鈥檚 claim is true. Suppose we take a random sample of 50jelly beans from the Child mix and a separate random sample of 100jelly beans from the Adult mix. Let p^Cand p^Abe the sample proportions of red jelly beans from the Child and

Adult mixes, respectively.

a. What is the shape of the sampling distribution of p^C-p^A? Why?

b. Find the mean of the sampling distribution.

c. Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.

Treating AIDS The drug AZT was the first drug that seemed effective in delaying

the onset of AIDS. Evidence for AZT鈥檚 effectiveness came from a large randomized

comparative experiment. The subjects were 870volunteers who were infected with HIV,

the virus that causes AIDS, but did not yet have AIDS. The study assigned 435of the

subjects at random to take 500milligrams of AZT each day and another 435to take a

placebo. At the end of the study, 38of the placebo subjects and 17of the AZT subjects

had developed AIDS.

a. Do the data provide convincing evidence at the =0.05level that taking AZT lowers the proportion of infected people like the ones in this study

who will develop AIDS in a given period of time?

b. Describe a Type I error and a Type II error in this setting and give a consequence of

each error.
