Chapter 6: Q 27. (page 373)

Running a mile A study of 12,000able-bodied male students at the University of Illinois found that their times for the mile run were approximately Normal with mean 7.11 minutes and standard deviation 0.74 minute. 7 Choose a student at random from this group and call his time for the mile Y. Find P(Y<6). Interpret this value.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value ofP(Y<6)=6.68%

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.  

We have mean 7.11minutes and standard deviation 0.74minute.

02

Step 2. To find the value of  z. 

z=x-渭蟽z=6-7.110.74z鈮�-1.50

03

Step 3. To find the probability. 

P(Y<6)=P(Z<-1.50)=0.0668=6.68%

Red light! Pedro drives the same route to work on Monday through Friday. His route includes one traffic light. According to the local traffic department, there is a 55%chance

that the light will be red on a randomly selected work day. Suppose we choose 10 of Pedro's work days at random and let Y= the number of times that the light is red. Make a graph of the probability distribution of Y . Describe its shape.

10%condition To use a binomial distribution to approximate the count of successes in an SRS, why do we require that the sample size n be less than 10%of the population size N?

Taking the train Refer to Exercise 80 . Use the binomial probability formula to find P(Y=4). Interpret this value.

Baby elk Refer to Exercise 77 . How surprising would it be for more than 4 elk in the sample to survive to adulthood? Calculate an appropriate probability to support your answer.
