Chapter 6: Q 28. (page 358)

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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

About4.75%of all bags contain less than31ounces.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information. 

We have given values of mean渭=32, standard deviation蟽=0.6andx=9.

02

Step 2. To find the probability. 

The z- score is the value decreased by the mean, divided by the standard deviation

z=x-渭蟽=31-320.6鈮�-1.67

Now,

P(x鈮�31)=P(Z<-1.67)=0.0475=4.75%

a. Calculate and interpret the mean of R.

b. Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of R.

According to the Census Bureau, 13%of American adults (aged 18 and over) are Hispanic. An opinion poll plans to contact an SRS of 1200adults.

a. What is the mean number of Hispanics in such samples? What is the standard deviation?

b. Should we be suspicious if the sample selected for the opinion poll contains 10%or less Hispanic people? Calculate an appropriate probability to support your answer.

Geometric or not? Determine whether each of the following scenarios describes a geometric setting. If so, define an appropriate geometric random variable.

a. A popular brand of cereal puts a card bearing the image of 1 of 5 famous NASCAR drivers in each box. There is a 1/5chance that any particular driver's card ends up in any box of cereal. Buy boxes of the cereal until you have all 5 drivers' cards.

b. In a game of 4-Spot Keno, Lola picks 4 numbers from 1 to 80 . The casino randomly selects 20 winning numbers from 1 to 80 . Lola wins money if she picks 2 or more of the winning numbers. The probability that this happens is \(0.259\). Lola decides to keep playing games of 4-Spot Keno until she wins some money.

.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.)

Scrabble In the game of Scrabble, each player begins by drawing 7tiles from a bag containing 100tiles. There are 42vowels, 56consonants, and 2blank tiles in the bag. Cait chooses her 7 tiles and is surprised to discover that all of them are vowels. Should we use a binomial distribution to approximate this probability? Justify your answer.
