Chapter 6: Q. 40 (page 385)

Victoria parks her car at the same garage every time she goes to work. Because she stays at work for different lengths of time each day, the fee the parking garage charges on a randomly selected day is a random variable, G. The table gives the probability distribution of G.You can check that 渭G=\(14and 蟽G=\)2.74.

In addition to the garage鈥檚 fee, the city charges a $3use tax each time Victoria parks her car. Let T=the total amount of money she pays on a randomly selected day.

a. Make a graph of the probability distribution of T. Describe its shape.

b. Find and interpret 渭T.

c. Calculate and interpret 蟽T.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The distribution is not symmetric, with the tallest bars in the middle at X=18, a single peak with the highest likelihood, and the lowest bars at X=23, with the lowest probability.

b. When the constant value is added to each data point, the center of the distribution is enlarged by (渭G+3) and the total amount is increased by $3, resulting in $17average money being randomly selected.

c. When a constant value is added to all data, it has no effect on the spread of the distribution, hence money for a random selection ranges on average $2.74about the mean =$17.

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1 : Given Information

Given table:

02

Part(a) Step 2 : Simplification

The city charges a $3use tax each time Victoria parks her car.

So,X=Y+3

The required graph is :

03

Part(b) Step 1 : Given Information

Given table :

04

Part(b) Step 2 : Simplification

Ystands for garage cost. $3must be paid in addition to the garage cost, bringing the total price to role="math" localid="1653997585789" $3

鈬�X=Y+3.

When the constant is added to each data value, the distribution's center is also enhanced by that constant value.

渭T=渭G+3=14+3Mr=17

05

Part(c) Step 1 : Given Information

Given table :

06

Part(c) Step 2 : Simplification

Ystands for garage cost. The garage fee must be paid in addition by $3, bringing the total price to $3.

X=Y+3

When you add the constant to every data value, the spread of the distribution does not change; it stays the same.

蟽x=蟽y=2.74

Time and motion A time-and-motion study measures the time required for an assembly-line worker to perform a repetitive task. The data show that the time required to bring a part from a bin to its position on an automobile chassis varies from car to car according to a Normal distribution with mean 11seconds and standard deviation 2seconds. The time required to attach the part to the chassis follows a Normal distribution with mean 20seconds and standard deviation 4seconds. The study finds that the times required for the two steps are independent. A part that takes a long time to position, for example, does not take more or less time to attach than other parts.

(a) Find the mean and standard deviation of the time required for the entire operation of positioning and attaching the part.

(b) Management鈥檚 goal is for the entire process to take less than 30seconds. Find the probability that this goal will be met. Show your work

A company鈥檚 single-serving cereal boxes advertise 1.63ounces of cereal. In fact, the amount of cereal X in a randomly selected box can be modeled by a Normal distribution with a mean of 1.70ounces and a standard deviation of 0.03ounce. Let Y=the excess amount of cereal beyond what鈥檚 advertised in a randomly selected box, measured in grams (1ounce=28.35grams).

a. Find the mean of Y.

b. Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of Y.

c. Find the probability of getting at least 1grammore cereal than advertised.

A small ferry runs every half hour from one side of a large river to the other. The number of cars Xon a randomly chosen ferry trip has the probability distribution shown here with mean 渭X=3.87and standard deviation 蟽X=1.29. The cost for the ferry trip is $5. Define M=money collected on a randomly selected ferry trip.

a. What shape does the probability distribution of Mhave?

b. Find the mean of M.

c. Calculate the standard deviation of M.

Random digit dialing When a polling company calls a telephone number at random, there is only a 9% chance that the call reaches a live person and the survey is successfully completed. 10 Suppose the random digit dialing machine makes 15 calls. Let X= the number of calls that result in a completed survey.

a. Find the probability that more than 12 calls are not completed.

b. Calculate and interpret 渭XX.

c. Calculate and interpret 蟽X蟽X.
