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

Where鈥檚 the bus? 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 X can be modeled by a uniform density curve on the interval

from 0 minutes to8 minutes. Find the probability that Sally has to wait between 2 and 5

minutes for the bus.

Geometric or not? Determine whether each of the following scenarios describes a geometric setting. If so, define an appropriate geometric random variable.

a. Shuffle a standard deck of playing cards well. Then turn over one card at a time from the top of the deck until you get an ace.

b. Billy likes to play cornhole in his free time. On any toss, he has about a 20%chance of getting a bag into the hole. As a challenge one day, Billy decides to keep tossing bags until he gets one in the hole.

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.

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.
