Study habits : Refer to Exercise 51.

a. Assume that FandMare independent random variables. Explain what this means in context.

b. Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of the difference D=FMin their scores.

c. From the information given, can you find the probability that the randomly selected female student has a higher SSHA score than the randomly selected male student? Explain why or why not.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The SSHA score of male student Mhas no bearing on the SSHA score of female student F.

b. The difference between female and male SSHA scores deviates from the mean difference of 15points by approximately 44.8219points on average.

c. Determining the likelihood that a female student will receive a higher SSHA score than a male student is impossible.

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1 : Given Information 

Given :

FandMare independent random variables.

For F:

Mean, F=120

Standard deviation,F=28

ForM :

Mean, M=105

Standard deviation, M=35

02

Part(a) Step 2 : Simplification 

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

M: SSHA score of a female student at a large university who was chosen at random.

This means that the SSHA score of the female student Fhas no bearing on the SSHA score of the male student Min any way.

In the same way, the SSHA score of male student Mhas no bearing on the SSHA score of female student F.

03

Part(b) Step 1 : Given Information 

Given :

FandMare independent random variables.

ForF :

Mean, F=120

Standard deviation,F=28

ForM :

Mean, M=105

Standard deviation, M=35

04

Part(b) Step 2 : Simplification 

Mean difference is :

F-M=F-M=120105=15

The variance of the difference is equal to the sum of the variances of the random variables when they are independent.

2F-M=2F+2M=(28)2+(35)2=2009

We also know that the standard deviation equals the variance squared:

F-M=2F-M=200944.8219

05

Part(c) Step 1 : Given Information 

Given :

FandMare independent random variables.

ForF:

Mean, F=120

Standard deviation,F=28

ForM :

Mean,M=105

Standard deviation, M=35

06

Part(c) Step 2 : Simplification 

Part (b) revealed that the F-Mdifference had a mean of 15points and a standard deviation of 44.8219points.

Because the Mdistribution's distribution is unknown.

As a result, the difference F-Mdistribution cannot be calculated.

As a result, determining the likelihood that a female student will receive a higher SSHA score than a male student is impossible.
