Chapter 6: Q. 50 (page 389)

Typographical and spelling errors can be either 鈥渘onword errors鈥� or 鈥渨ord errors.鈥� A nonword error is not a real word, as when 鈥渢he鈥� is typed as 鈥渢eh.鈥� A word error is a real word, but not the right word, as when 鈥渓ose鈥� is typed as 鈥渓oose.鈥� When students are asked to write a 250-word essay (without spell-checking), the number of nonword errors X in a randomly selected essay has mean 2.1 and standard deviation 1.136. The number of word errors Y in the essay has mean 1.0 and standard deviation 1.0. Calculate and interpret the mean of the sum S = X + Y.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The Average mean value is渭=3.1

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The number of nonword errors X in a randomly selected essay has mean 2.1 and standard deviation 1.136

The number of word errors X in a randomly selected essay has mean 1.0 and standard deviation 1.0

渭X=2.1蟽X=1.136渭Y=1.0蟽Y=1.0

X = quantity of nonword errors in an essay chosen at random

Y= quantity of word errors in an essay chosen at random

02

Calculations

渭=渭X+渭Y=2.1+1.0=3.1

There are two different random variables with two different means,渭X=2.1and 渭Y=1.0

as a result, the average of the two random numbers ,the total of their means will be the variable.

On average, there will be a total number of 3.1 errors

How does your web browser get a file from the Internet? Your computer sends a request for the file to a web server, and the web server sends back a response. Let Y=the amount of time (in seconds) after the start of an hour at which a randomly selected request is received by a particular web server. The probability distribution of Ycan be modeled by a uniform density curve on the interval from 0to3600seconds. Define the random variable W=Y/60.

a. Explain what Wrepresents.

b. What probability distribution does Whave?

Large Counts condition To use a Normal distribution to approximate binomial probabilities, why do we require that both npand n(1-p) be a t least 10?

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.

Skee Ball Ana is a dedicated Skee Ball player (see photo in Exercise 4) 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. From Exercise 8, 渭X=23.8 . Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of X.

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.
