Skee Ball Refer to Exercise 4. Find the mean of X. Interpret this value.

Short Answer

Expert verified

渭=23.8

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

Score1020304050
Probability0.320.270.190.150.07
02

Step 2. The mean of X. 

The expected value (or mean) is the sum of the product of each possibility r with its probability P(X= x):

渭=危xP(X=x)=10x0.32+20x0.27+30x0.19+40x0.15+50x0.07渭=23.8

On average, the score on a randomly selected roll of the ball is 23.8.

Baby elk Biologists estimate that a randomly selected baby elk has a 44 % chance of surviving to adulthood. Assume this estimate is correct. Suppose researchers choose 7 baby elk at random to monitor. Let X= the number that survive to adulthood.

Benford鈥檚 law Faked numbers in tax returns, invoices, or expense account claims often display patterns that aren鈥檛 present in legitimate records. Some patterns, like too many round numbers, are obvious and easily avoided by a clever crook. Others are more subtle. It is a striking fact that the first digits of numbers in legitimate records often follow a model known as Benford鈥檚 law. 4 Call the first digit of a randomly chosen legitimate record X for short. The probability distribution for X is shown here (note that a first digit cannot be 0).

Part (a.) A histogram of the probability distribution is shown. Describe its shape.

Part (b). Calculate and interpret the expected value of X.

Standard deviations (6.1) Continuous random variables A, B, and C all take values between 0 and 10 . Their density curves, drawn on the same horizontal scales, are shown here. Rank the standard deviations of the three random variables from smallest to largest. Justify your answer.

In debt? Refer to Exercise 100.

a. Justify why D can be approximated by a normal distribution.

b. Use a normal distribution to estimate the probability that 30or more adults in the sample have more debt than savings.

Toothpaste Ken is traveling for his business. He has a new 0.85-ounce tube of toothpaste that鈥檚 supposed to last him the whole trip. The amount of toothpaste Ken squeezes out of the tube each time he brushes is independent, and can be modeled by a Normal distribution with mean 0.13 ounce and standard deviation 0.02 ounce. If Ken brushes his teeth six times on a randomly selected trip, what鈥檚 the probability that he鈥檒l use all the toothpaste in the tube?
