Skee Ball Ana is a dedicated Skee Ball player (see photo) 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.

Part (a). Find P(Y<20)P(Y<20)Interpret this result.

Part (b). Express the event 鈥淎nna scores at most 20鈥 in terms of X. What is the probability of this event?

Part (b) 59%

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.

Score1020304050
Probability0.320.270.190.150.07
02

Part (a) Step 2.   P(Y<20) P(Y<20) Interpret this result 

If two events cannot occur at the same time, they are disjoint or mutually exclusive.

Addition rule for events that are disjoint or mutually exclusive:

P(AUB)=P(A)+P(B)

Score1020304050
Probability0.320.270.190.150.07

The following probabilities are provided by the table above.

Because two different scores for the same game are not possible, the two events are mutually exclusive.

For mutually exclusive events, apply the addition rule:

P(X>20)=P(X=30)+P(X=40)+P(X=50)P(X>20)=0.19+0.15+0.07P(X>20)=0.41P(X>20)=41%

A score of more than 20 is obtained in approximately 41% of the games.

03

Part (b) Step 1. Express the event “Anna scores at most 20” in terms of X. 

If two events cannot occur at the same time, they are disjoint or mutually exclusive.

Addition rule for events that are disjoint or mutually exclusive:

P(AUB)=P(A)+P(B)

Score1020304050
Probability0.320.270.190.150.07

Because X represents the score on a randomly chosen roll of a ball, a score of at most 20 can be represented byx20

The table above shows the following probabilities:

P(X=10)=0.32P(X=20)=0.27

Because two different scores for the same game are not possible, the two events are mutually exclusive.

For mutually exclusive events, apply the addition rule:

P(X20)=P(X=10)+P(X-20)P(X20)=0.32+0.27P(X20)=0.59P(X20)=59%

Taking the train According to New Jersey Transit, the 8:00A.M. weekday train from Princeton to New York City has a 90%chance of arriving on time on a randomly selected day. Suppose this claim is true. Choose 6 days at random. Let localid="1654594369074" Y=the number of days on which the train arrives on time.

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.

Toothpaste Ken is traveling for his business. He has a new 0.85-ounce tube of toothpaste that鈥檚 supposed to last him the whole trip. The amount of toothpaste Ken squeezes out of the tube each time he brushes is independent, and can be modeled by a Normal distribution with mean 0.13 ounce and standard deviation 0.02 ounce. If Ken brushes his teeth six times on a randomly selected trip, what鈥檚 the probability that he鈥檒l use all the toothpaste in the tube?

Electronic circuit The design of an electronic circuit for a toaster calls for a 100ohm resistor and a 250-ohm resistor connected in series so that their resistances add. The components used are not perfectly uniform, so that the actual resistances vary independently according to Normal distributions. The resistance of 100-ohm resistors has mean 100ohms and standard deviation 2.5ohms, while that of 250-ohm resistors has mean 250 ohms and standard deviation 2.8ohms.

(a) What is the distribution of the total resistance of the two components in series?

(b) What is the probability that the total resistance

Spoofing (4.2) To collect information such as passwords, online criminals use "spoofing" to direct Internet users to fraudulent websites. In one study of Internet fraud, students were warned about spoofing and then asked to log into their university account starting from the university's home page. In some cases, the log-in link led to the genuine dialog box. In others, the box looked genuine but, in fact, was linked to a different site that recorded the ID and password the student entered. The box that appeared for each student was determined at random. An alert student could detect the fraud by looking at the true Internet address displayed in the browser status bar, but most just entered their ID and password.

b. What are the explanatory and response variables? Identify each variable as categorical or quantitative.
