Chapter 6: Q. 95 (page 430)

Bag check Refer to Exercise 91 .

a. Calculate and interpret the mean of R.

b. Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of R.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)The computed value of mean shows that on an average out of 20,6 passangers will obtain a red light.

(b)

The total number of passengers that obtain a red light will vary by 2.049passenger in comparison of mean of 6 passengers.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information

Number of trials (n)=20

Probability of success (p)=0.30

Formula used:

The formula to compute the mean and standard deviation are:

Mean(渭)=n脳p

Standard deviation (蟽)=n脳p脳(1-p)

02

Part (a) Step 1: Simplification

The mean of R can be calculated as:

渭=n脳p=20(0.30)=6

Thus, the mean is 6 .

The computed value of mean shows that on an average out of 20,6 passangers will obtain a red light.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

Number of trials (n)=20

Probability of success(p)=0.30

04

Part (b) Step 2: Calculation

The standard deviation of R can be calculated as:

蟽=n脳p脳(1-p)=20(0.30)(1-0.30)=2.049

The total number of passengers that obtain a red light will vary by passenger in comparison of mean of 6 passengers.

Taking the train According to New Jersey Transit, the 8:00A.M. weekday train from Princeton to New York City has a 90%chance of arriving on time on a randomly selected day. Suppose this claim is true. Choose 6 days at random. Let localid="1654594369074" Y=the number of days on which the train arrives on time.

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.

Size of American households In government data, a household consists of all occupants of a dwelling unit, while a family consists of two or more persons who live together and are related by blood or marriage. So all families form households, but some households are not families. Here are the distributions of household size and family size in the United States:

Let H = the number of people in a randomly selected U.S. household and F= the number of people in a randomly chosen U.S. family.

(a) Here are histograms comparing the probability distributions of Hand F. Describe any differences that you observe.

(b) Find the expected value of each random variable. Explain why this difference makes sense.

(c) The standard deviations of the two random variables are 蟽H=1.421and 蟽F=1.249.Explain why this difference makes sense.

Airport security The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is responsible for airport safety. On some flights, TSA officers randomly select passengers for an extra security check before boarding. One such flight had 76 passengers- 12 in first class and 64 in coach class. Some passengers were surprised when none of the 10 passengers chosen for screening were seated in first class. Should we use a binomial distribution to approximate this probability? Justify your answer.

A small ferry runs every half hour from one side of a large river to the other. The number of cars Xon a randomly chosen ferry trip has the probability distribution shown here with mean 渭X=3.87and standard deviation 蟽X=1.29. The cost for the ferry trip is $5. Define M=money collected on a randomly selected ferry trip.

a. What shape does the probability distribution of Mhave?

b. Find the mean of M.

c. Calculate the standard deviation of M.
