Ms. Hall gave her class a 10-question multiple-choice quiz.

LetX=the number of questions that a randomly selected student in the class answered correctly. The computer output gives information about the probability distribution of X. To determine each student鈥檚 grade on the quiz (out of 100), Ms. Hall will multiply his or her number of correct answers by 5and then add 50. Let G=the grade of a randomly chosen student in the class.

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1 : Given Information    

Given :

X=the number of questions that a randomly selected student in the class answered correctly.

Ms. Hall multiplies his or her number of correct answers by 5and then add 50.

G=the grade of a randomly chosen student in the class.

02

Part(a) Step 2 : Simplification   

The grade is calculated by multiplying the number of right answers by 5and increasing by 50.

5X+50=G

This means that each data value in the Xdistribution is multiplied by the same constant 5and then multiplied by the same constant 50.

When the same constant is applied to each data value, the center of the distribution is also enlarged by the same constant.

Furthermore, if every data value is multiplied by the same constant, the distribution's center is multiplied by the same constant.

The mean is the center's measurement, as we all know.

As a result, the mean is increased by 50and multiplied by 5.

G=5X+50=5(7.6)+50=88

03

Part(b) Step 1 : Given Information    

Given :

X= the number of questions that a randomly selected student in the class answered correctly.

Ms. Hall multiplies his or her number of correct answers by 5and then add 50.

G=the grade of a randomly chosen student in the class.

04

Part(b) Step 2 : Simplification   

The range is defined as the difference between the maximum and least values.

As a result, for X, the range is

RangeX=Max-Min=10-4=6

The grade is calculated by multiplying the number of right answers by 5and increasing by 50.

5X+50=G

This denotes Every data value in the Xdistribution is multiplied by 5and then increased by50.

The spread of the distribution is unaltered if every data value is multiplied by the same constant.

Furthermore, if every data value is multiplied by the same constant, the distribution's spread is also multiplied by the same constant.

We know that the spread is measured by the range. As a result, the range is multiplied by five.

Thus, Range is :

RangeG=5(RangeX)=5(6)=30

Kids and toys In an experiment on the behavior of young children, each subject is placed in an area with five toys. Past experiments have shown that the probability distribution of the number X of toys played with by a randomly selected subject is as follows:

Part (a). Write the event 鈥渃hild plays with 5 toys鈥 in terms of X. Then find its probability.

Part (b). What鈥檚 the probability that a randomly selected subject plays with at most 3 toys?

Class is over! Mr. Shrager does not always let his statistics class out on time. In fact, he

seems to end class according to his own 鈥渋nternal clock.鈥 The density curve here models

the distribution of Y, the amount of time after class ends (in minutes) when Mr. Shrager

dismisses the class on a randomly selected day. (A negative value indicates he ended class

early.)

a) Find and interpret P(1Y1).

b) What is Y ? Explain your answer.

c)Find the value of k that makes this statement true: localid="1654015283453" P(Yk)=0.25

Commuting to work Refer to Exercise 52 .

a. Assume that B and Ware independent random variables. Explain what this means in context.

b. Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of the difference D(Bus - Walk) in the time it would take Sul茅 to get to work on a randomly selected day.

c. From the information given, can you find the probability that it will take Sul茅 longer to get to work on the bus than if he walks on a randomly selected day? Explain why or why not.

The time X it takes Hattan to drive to work on a randomly selected day follows a distribution that is approximately Normal with mean 15 minutes and standard deviation 6.5 minutes. Once he parks his car in his reserved space, it takes 5 more minutes for him to walk to his office. Let T= the total time it takes Hattan to reach his office on a randomly selected day, so T=X+5. Describe the shape, center, and variability of the probability distribution of T.

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.

a. Explain why Yis a binomial random variable.

b. Find the probability that the light is red on exactly 7 days.
