Note that XandYare independent random variables because the two students are randomly selected from each of the campuses. At the main campus, full-time students pay \(50per unit. At the downtown campus, full-time students pay \)55per unit. Suppose we randomly select one full-time student from each of the two campuses. Find the standard deviation of the difference D(Main − Downtown) in the number of units that the two randomly selected students take.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The standard deviation and the units of data values are the same. The standard deviation is 3.0877.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information  

Both XandYare independent events.

Such that

For X:

The value of Mean, μX=732.50

The value of Standard deviation, σX=103

For Y:

The value of Mean, μY=825

The value of Standard deviation,σY=126.50

The full-time student pays at the main campus. : $50per unit.

02

Calculating standard deviation of the Main campus

When we divide the total amount spent by 50, we get the number of units.

The standard deviation is a measure of spread, as we all know. When each data value is multiplied by 50, the spread measure should be multiplied by 50as well.

As a result, the standard deviation for the Main campus is :

σMain=σX50=10350=2.06.

When the total amount spent is divided by 55, we get the number of units.

The standard deviation is a measure of spread, as we all know.

The spread measure should be multiplied by 55as well.

03

Finding the standard deviation of the difference D

As a result, the standard deviation for the Downtown campus is :

σDowntown=σY55=126.5050=2.3

The variance of the difference of two random variables is the sum of their variances when the random variables are independent.

role="math" localid="1654184360394" σ2(Main-Downtown)=σ2Main+σ2Downtown=(2.06)2+(2.3)2=9.5336

We know that the square root of the variance is the standard deviation.

As a result, :

σ(Main-Downtown)=9.5336≈3.0877

Lefties A total of 11%of students at a large high school are left-handed. A statistics teacher selects a random sample of 100 students and records L= the number of left-handed students in the sample.

a. Explain why L can be modeled by a binomial distribution even though the sample was selected without replacement.

b. Use a binomial distribution to estimate the probability that 15 or more students in the sample are left-handed.

Total gross profits G on a randomly selected day at Tim’s Toys follow a distribution that is approximately Normal with mean \(560 and standard deviation \)185. The cost of renting and maintaining the shop is $65 per day. Let P=profit on a randomly selected day, so P=G−65. Describe the shape, center, and variability of the probability distribution of P.

Swim team Hanover High School has the best women's swimming team in the region. The 400meter freestyle relay team is undefeated this year. In the 400-meter freestyle relay, each swimmer swims 100meters. The times, in seconds, for the four swimmers this season are approximately Normally distributed with means and standard deviations as shown. Assuming that the swimmer's individual times are independent, find the probability that the total team time in the 400meter freestyle relay is less than 220seconds.follow the four step process.
