Chapter 5: Q. 5 (page 309)

Three pointers The figure shows the results of a basketball player attempting many3鈥�

point shots. Explain what this graph tells you about chance behavior in the short run and

long run.

Short Answer

Expert verified

In the short run, there is a lot of variability in the percent of shorts made while in long run probability of making a shot is about30%.

Step by step solution

01

Given information 

We have been given a graph of a basketball player attempting many 3鈥� point shots.

We need to find out from the graph the chance behavior in the short run and long run.

02

Explanation

In the short run, we saw a lot of sharp peaks to the left in the graph which is the reason for a lot of variability in the percent of shots made.

In the long run that is for a large no. of shots the percent of shots made appears to be about 30%in the graph and this implies that the probability of making a shot is about 30%

Notebook check Every 9weeks, Mr. Millar collects students' notebooks and checks their homework. He randomly selects 4different assignments to inspect for all of the students. Marino is one of the students in Mr. Millar's class. Marino completed 20homework assignments and did not complete 10assignments. He is surprised when Mr. Millar only selects 1assignment that he completed. Should he be surprised? To find out, we want to design a simulation to estimate the probability that Mr. Millar will randomly select 1or fewer of the homework assignments that Marino completed.

Get 30identical slips of paper. Write "N" on 10 of the slips and "C" on the remaining 20slips. Put the slips into a hat and mix well. Draw 1slip without looking to represent the first randomly selected homework assignment, and record whether Marino completed it. Put the slip back into the hat, mix again, and draw another slip representing the second randomly selected assignment. Record whether Marino completed this assignment. Repeat this process two more times for the third and fourth randomly selected homework assignments. Record the number out of the 4randomly selected homework assignments that Marino completed in this trial of the simulation. Perform many trials. Find the proportion of trials in which Mr. Millar randomly selects 1or fewer of the homework assignments that Marino completed.

Crawl before you walk (At what age do babies learn to crawl? Does it take

longer to learn in the winter, when babies are often bundled in clothes that restrict their

movement? Perhaps there might even be an association between babies鈥� crawling age and

the average temperature during the month they first try to crawl (around 6months after

birth). Data were collected from parents who brought their babies to the University of

Denver Infant Study Center to participate in one of a number of studies. Parents reported

the birth month and the age at which their child was first able to creep or crawl a distance

of 4feet within one minute. Information was obtained on 414infants208boysand206girls. Crawling age is given in weeks, and average temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) is

given for the month that is 6months after the birth month.

a. Make an appropriate graph to display the relationship between average temperature and

average crawling age. Describe what you see.

Some computer output from a least-squares regression analysis of the data is shown.

b. What is the equation of the least-squares regression line that describes the relationship

between average temperature and average crawling age? Define any variables that you

use.

c. Interpret the slope of the regression line.

d. Can we conclude that warmer temperatures 6months after babies are born causes them

to crawl sooner? Justify your answer.

Mystery box Ms. Tyson keeps a Mystery Box in her classroom. If a student meets expectations for behavior, she or he is allowed to draw a slip of paper without looking. The slips are all of equal size, are well mixed, and have the name of a prize written on them. One of the 鈥減rizes鈥濃�攅xtra homework鈥攊sn鈥檛 very desirable! Here is the probability model for the prizes a student can win:

a. Explain why this is a valid probability model.

b. Find the probability that a student does not win extra homework.

c. What鈥檚 the probability that a student wins candy or a homework pass?

Checking independence Suppose C and D are two events such that

P(C)=0.6,P(D)=0.45,and P(C鈭�D)=0.3Are events C and D independent? Justify your answer.

Mac or PC? A recent census at a major university revealed that60%of its students mainly used Macs. The rest mainly used PCs. At the time of the census, 67%of the school鈥檚 students were undergraduates. The rest were graduate students. In the census, 23%of respondents were graduate students and used a Mac as their main computer. Suppose we select a student at random from among those who were part of the census. Define events G: is a graduate student and M: primarily uses a Mac.

a. Find P(G 鈭� M). Interpret this value in context.

b. Consider the event that the randomly selected student is an undergraduate student and

primarily uses a PC. Write this event in symbolic form and find its probability.
