Chapter 6: Q. 51 (page 389)

The Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA) is a psychological test that measures academic motivation and study habits. The SSHA score F of a randomly selected female student at a large university has mean 120 and standard deviation 28, and the SSHA score M of a randomly selected male student at the university has mean 105 and standard deviation 35. Suppose we select one male student and one female student at random from this university and give them the SSHA test. Calculate and interpret the mean of the difference D=F鈭�Min their scores.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The difference's mean is渭=15

Step by step solution

01

Given information

渭F=120蟽F=28渭M=105蟽M=35

F=SSHA score of a female student from a large university who was chosen at random.

M=SSHA score of a male student from a large university who was chosen at random.

02

Calculations

渭=渭F-渭M=120-105=15

There are two different random variables with two different means, 渭F=120and渭M=105

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

Ana is a dedicated Skee Ball player who always rolls for the 50-point slot.

Ana鈥檚 score Xon a randomly selected roll of the ball has the probability distribution

shown here with mean 渭X=23.8and standard deviation 蟽X=12.63.

A player receives one ticket from the game for every 10points scored. Define T=number of tickets Ana gets on a randomly selected roll.

a. What shape does the probability distribution of Thave?

b. Find the mean of T.

c. Calculate the standard deviation ofT.

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

Sally takes the same bus to work every morning. Let X=the amount of time (in minutes) that she has to wait for the bus on a randomly selected day. The probability distribution of Xcan be modeled by a uniform density curve on the interval from data-custom-editor="chemistry" 0minutesto8minutes. Define the random variable V=60X

a. Explain what Vrepresents.

b. What probability distribution does Vhave?

Fire insurance Suppose a homeowner spends \(300 for a home insurance policy that will pay out \)200,000 if the home is destroyed by fire in a given year. Let P = the profit made by the company on a single policy. From previous data, the probability that a home in this area will be destroyed by fire is 0.0002.

(a) Make a table that shows the probability distribution of P.

(b) Calculate the expected value of P. Explain what this result means for the insurance company.

(c) Calculate the standard deviation of P. Explain what this result means for the insurance company.

Cranky mower To start her old lawn mower, Rita has to pull a cord and hope for some luck. On any particular pull, the mower has a 20%chance of starting.

a. Find the probability that it takes her exactly 3 pulls to start the mower.

b. Find the probability that it takes her more than 6 pulls to start the mower.
