Chapter 12: Q.AP4.8 - Cumulative AP Practise Test (page 828)

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<0.30.4(0.4)(0.6)60)Pz&1t;0.3-0.4(0.4)(0.6)60

b.P(z<0.30.4(0.3)(0.7)60)Pz&1t;0.3-0.4(0.3)(0.7)60

d. P(z<0.3-0.4(0.4)(0.6)60)Pz&lt;0.3-0.4(0.4)(0.6)60

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

Pz&lt;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

Short Answer

Expert verified

The approximate probability is

option (a)P(z<0.30.4(0.4)(0.6)60)Pz&1t;0.3-0.4(0.4)(0.6)60

Step by step solution

01

Given information 

Given in the question that, a large machine is filled with thousands of small pieces of candy, 40%of which are orange. When money is deposited, the machine dispenses 60randomly selected pieces of candy. The machine will be recalibrated if a group of 60 candies contains fewer than 18 that are orange. We need to find the approximate probability that will happen if the machine is working correctly .

02

Explanation

Thousands of small pieces of candy are stacked in a big machine, with orange candy accounting for 40%of the total. The issue here is population proportions. The issue is that 40%of the dollars are orange, indicating that the genuine population proportion is 0.4. For proportions, the z-score formula is:

z=p^-pp(1-p)n

=0.3-0.40.4(1-0.4)60

The answer is option (a).

Counting carnivores Ecologists look at data to learn about nature鈥檚 patterns. One pattern they have identified relates the size of a carnivore (body mass in kilograms) to how many of those carnivores exist in an area. A good measure of 鈥渉ow many鈥 is to count carnivores per 10,000 kg of their prey in the area. The scatterplot shows this relationship between body mass and abundance for 25 carnivore species.

The following graphs show the results of two different transformations of the data. The first graph plots the logarithm (base 10) of abundance against body mass. The second graph plots the logarithm (base 10) of abundance against the logarithm (base 10) of body mass.

a. Based on the scatterplots, would an exponential model or a power model provide a better description of the relationship between abundance and body mass? Justify your answer.

b. Here is a computer output from a linear regression analysis of log(abundance) and log(body mass). Give the equation of the least-squares regression line. Be sure to define any variables you use.

c. Use your model from part (b) to predict the abundance of black bears, which have a body mass of 92.5 kg.

d. Here is a residual plot for the linear regression in part (b). Do you expect your prediction in part (c) to be too large, too small, or about right? Justify your answer.

The swinging pendulum Refer to Exercise 33. We took the logarithm (base 10) of the values for both length and period. Here is some computer output from a linear regression analysis of the transformed data.


a. Based on the output, explain why it would be reasonable to use a power model to describe the relationship between the length and period of a pendulum.

b. Give the equation of the least-squares regression line. Be sure to define any variables you use.

c. Use the model from part (b) to predict the period of a pendulum with a length of 80cm.

A set of 10cards consists of 5red cards and 5black cards. The cards are shuffled thoroughly, and you choose one at random, observe its color, and replace it in the set. The cards are thoroughly reshuffled, and you again choose a card at random, observe its color, and replace it in the set. This is done a total of four times. Let X be the number of red cards observed in these four trials. The random variable X has which of the following probability distributions?

a. The Normal distribution with mean 2and standard deviation 1

b. The binomial distribution with n=10and p=0.5

c. The binomial distribution with n=5and p=0.5

d. The binomial distribution with n=4and p=0.5

e. The geometric distribution withp=0.5

Less mess? Kerry and Danielle wanted to investigate if tapping on a can of soda would reduce the amount of soda expelled after the can has been shaken. For their experiment, they vigorously shook 40cans of soda and randomly assigned each can to be tapped for 0seconds, 4seconds, 8seconds, or 12seconds. After opening the cans and waiting for the fizzing to stop, they measured the amount expelled (in milliliters) by subtracting the amount remaining from the original amount in the can. Here are their data:

Here is some computer output from a least-squares regression analysis of these data. Construct and interpret a 95%confidence interval for the slope of the true regression line.

If P(A)=0.24and P(B)=0.52and events Aand Bare independent, what is P(Aor B)?

邪. 0.1248

b. 0.28

c. 0.6352

d.0.76

e. The answer cannot be determined from the given information.
