Chapter 5: Q. 90. (page 334)

Get rid of the penny Harris Interactive reported that 29% of all U.S. adults favor abolishing the penny. Assuming that responses from different individuals are independent, what is the probability of randomly selecting 3 U.S. adults who all say that they favor abolishing the penny?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required probability is0.0244

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Given that,

Probability of success (p)=29%=0.29

Number of trials(n)=3

02

Calculation

The probability of a binomial distribution can be calculated using the following formula:

P(X=r)=Crn脳pr脳(1-p)n-rP

The probability of selecting adults who are in favor of abolishing the penny at random is calculated as follows:

P(X=r)=Crn脳pr脳(1-p)r =C33脳(0.29)3脳(1-0.29)3-3 =0.0244

Therefore, the required probability is0.0244

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.

AARP, and Medicare (4.1) To find out what proportion of Americans support proposed

Medicare legislation to help pay medical costs, the AARP conducted a survey of their

members (people over age 50 who pay membership dues). One of the questions was:

鈥淓ven if this plan won鈥檛 affect you personally either way, do you think it should be passed

so that people with low incomes or people with high drug costs can be helped?鈥� Of the

respondents, 75% answered 鈥淵es.鈥�

a. Describe how undercoverage might lead to bias in this study. Explain the likely

direction of the bias.

b. Describe how the wording of the question might lead to bias in this study. Explain the

likely direction of the bias.

Lucky penny? Harris Interactive reported that 33%of U.S. adults believe that

finding and picking up a penny is good luck. Assuming that responses from different

individuals are independent, what is the probability of randomly selecting 10U.S. adults

and finding at least 1person who believes that finding and picking up a penny is good

luck?

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.

Suppose that a student is randomly selected from a large high school. The probability

that the student is a senior is 0.22. The probability that the student has a driver鈥檚 license
