Chapter 12: Q. AP4.32 (page 832)

AP4.32 A standard deck of playing cards contains 52cards, of which 4are aces and 13are hearts. You are offered a choice of the following two wagers:

I. Draw one card at random from the deck. You win \(10if the card drawn is an ace. Otherwise, you lose \)1.

II. Draw one card at random from the deck. If the card drawn is a heart, you win \(2. Otherwise, you lose \)1. Which of the two wagers should you prefer?

a. Wager 1, because it has a greater expected value

b. Wager 2, because it has a greater expected value

c. Wager 1, because it has a greater probability of winning

d. Wager 2, because it has a greater probability of winning

e. Both wagers are equally favorable

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct answer is option (a) Wager 1, because it has a greater expected value

Step by step solution

01

Given information

To determine a choice of the two wagers by draw one card at random from the deck.

02

Explanation

Let, the given option of selecting one of the steps listed below.
If we draw an ace, will win $10; otherwise, will lose $1, and if we draw a heart, will win $2; otherwise, will lose $1.
The amount of each possibility multiplied by its probability is the estimated value:
Calculate for wager 1 as follows:
E(X)=鈭�xP(x)
=$10脳452+(-$1)脳4852
=-$0.15

Calculate for wager 2as follows:

E(X)=鈭�xP(x)

=$2脳1352+(-$1)脳3952

=-$0.25

As a result, wager 1is chosen because the expected value is bigger, and you are more likely to earn with wager 1.

As a result, option (a) is correct.

The following back-to-back stem plots compare the ages of players from two minor-league hockey teams (1/7=17 years)

Which of the following cannot be justified from the plots?

a. Team A has the same number of players in their 30sas does Team B.

b. The median age of both teams is the same.

c. Both age distributions are skewed to the right.

d. The range of age is greater for Team A

e. There are no outliers by the1.5IQR rule in either distribution.

Killing bacteria Expose marine bacteria to X-rays for time periods from 1to 15minutes. Here is a scatterplot showing the number of surviving bacteria (in hundreds) on a culture plate after each exposure time:


a. Below is a scatterplot of the natural logarithm of the number of surviving bacteria versus time. Based on this graph, explain why it would be reasonable to use an exponential model to describe the relationship between the count of bacteria and the time.


b). Here is the output from a linear regression analysis of the transformed data. Give the equation of the least-squares regression line. Be sure to defne any variables you use.

c. Use your model to predict the number of surviving bacteria after 17minutes.

About 1100high school teachers attended a weeklong summer institute for teaching AP Statistics classes. After learning of the survey described in Exercise 56, the teachers in the AP Statistics class wondered whether the results of the tattoo survey would be similar for teachers. They designed a survey to find out. The class opted to take a random sample of 100teachers at the institute. One of the first decisions the class had to make was what kind of sampling method to use.

a. They knew that a simple random sample was the 鈥減referred鈥� method. With 1100teachers in 40different sessions, the class decided not to use an SRS. Give at least two reasons why you think they made this decision.

b. The AP Statistics class believed that there might be systematic differences in the proportions of teachers who had tattoos based on the subject areas that they taught. What sampling method would you recommend to account for this possibility? Explain a statistical advantage of this method over an SRS.

A large machine is filled with thousands of small pieces of candy, 40%of which are orange. When money is deposited, the machine dispenses60randomly selected pieces of candy. The machine will be recalibrated if a group of 60candies contains fewer than18that are orange. What is the approximate probability that this will happen if the machine is working correctly?

a. P(z<0.3鈭�0.4(0.4)(0.6)60)Pz&1t;0.3-0.4(0.4)(0.6)60

b.P(z<0.3鈭�0.4(0.3)(0.7)60)Pz&1t;0.3-0.4(0.3)(0.7)60

c. P(z<0.3-0.4(0.4)(0.6)60)

e. P(z<0.4-0.3(0.3)(0.7)60)Pz&lt;0.4-0.3(0.3)(0.7)60

Random assignment is part of a well-designed comparative experiment because

a. it is fairer to the subjects.

b. it helps create roughly equivalent groups before treatments are imposed on the subjects.

c. it allows researchers to generalize the results of their experiment to a larger population.

d. it helps eliminate any possibility of bias in the experiment.

e. it prevents the placebo effect from occurring.
