Chapter 5: Q. 6 (page 309)

Keep on tossing The figure shows the results of two different sets of5000coin tosses.

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

Short Answer

Expert verified

In the short run, values will be different than the proportion of .5while in the long run, the probability of heads will be about0.5.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We have been given the results of two different sets of 5000coin tosses.

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

02

Explanation

In the short run due to different peaks present below and above the proportion of 0.5there is a variation in the result very much and due to this, it takes on values very different than a proportion of 0.5.

In the long run, the proportion always tends to be about 0.5and this implies that the long-run frequency is about 0.5so the probability of heads will be about0.5.

Cell phones The Pew Research Center asked a random sample of 2024adult cell-phone owners from the United States their age and which type of cell phone they own: iPhone, Android, or other (including non-smartphones). The two-way table summarizes the data.

Suppose we select one of the survey respondents at random.

  1. Find P(iPhone | 18-34)
  2. Use your answer from part (a) to help determine if the events 鈥渋Phone鈥� and "18-34"are independent.

Will Luke pass the quiz ? Luke鈥檚 teacher has assigned each student in his class an online quiz, which is made up of 10multiple-choice questions with 4options each. Luke hasn鈥檛 been paying attention in class and has to guess on each question. However, his teacher allows each student to take the quiz three times and will record the highest of the three scores. A passing score is 6or more correct out of 10. We want to perform a simulation to estimate the score that Luke will earn on the quiz if he guesses at random on all the questions.

a. Describe how to use a random number generator to perform one trial of the simulation. The dotplot shows Luke鈥檚 simulated quiz score in 50trials of the simulation.

b. Explain what the dot at 1represents.

c. Use the results of the simulation to estimate the probability that Luke passes the quiz.

d. Doug is in the same class and claims to understand some of the material. If he scored 8points on the quiz, is there convincing evidence that he understands some of the material? Explain your answer.
