Chapter 6: Q 14. (page 369)

Skee Ball Ana is a dedicated Skee Ball player (see photo in Exercise 4) who always rolls for the 50-point slot. The probability distribution of Ana鈥檚 score X on a randomly selected roll of the ball is shown here. From Exercise 8, 渭X=23.8 . Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of X.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The standard deviation is蟽=12.6317.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

The given information is:

02

Step 2. Find and interpret the standard deviation of X.

The given mean is 23.8.

The predicted value of the squared departure from the mean is known as the variance:

蟽2=鈭�x-渭2Px=10-23.82脳0.32+20-23.82脳0.27+30-23.82脳0.19+40-23.82脳0.15+50-23.82脳0.07=159.56

The standard deviation is:

蟽=蟽2=159.56鈮�12.6317

The average score on a randomly chosen roll of the ball is 12.6317 points higher than the mean score of 23.8.

Take a spin Refer to Exercise 83. Calculate and interpret P(X鈮�7)

Benford鈥檚 law Faked numbers in tax returns, invoices, or expense account claims often display patterns that aren鈥檛 present in legitimate records. Some patterns, like too many round numbers, are obvious and easily avoided by a clever crook. Others are more subtle. It is a striking fact that the first digits of numbers in legitimate records often follow a model known as Benford鈥檚 law. 4 Call the first digit of a randomly chosen legitimate record X for short. The probability distribution for X is shown here (note that a first digit cannot be 0).

Part (a.) A histogram of the probability distribution is shown. Describe its shape.

Part (b). Calculate and interpret the expected value of X.

.Life insurance The risk of insuring one person鈥檚 life is reduced if we insure many people. Suppose that we insure two 21-year-old males, and that their ages at death are independent. If X1andX2are the insurer鈥檚 income from the two insurance policies, the insurer鈥檚 average income W on the two policies is

W=X1+X22=0.5X1+0.5X2

Find the mean and standard deviation of W. (You see that the mean income is the same as for a single policy but the standard deviation is less.)

Give me some sugar! Machines that fill bags with powdered sugar are supposed to

dispense 32ounces of powdered sugar into each bag. Let x=the weight (in ounces) of the

powdered sugar dispensed into a randomly selected bag. Suppose that xcan be modeled

by a Normal distribution with mean 32ounces and standard deviation 0.6ounce. Find P(x鈮�31). Interpret this value.

a. Calculate and interpret the mean of R.

b. Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of R.
