According to the U.S. Census, the proportion of adults in a certain county who owned their own home was 0.71. An SRS of 100 adults in a certain section of the county found that 65 owned their home. Which one of the following represents the approximate probability of obtaining a sample of 100 adults in which 65 or fewer own their home, assuming that this section of the county has the same overall proportion of adults who own their home as does the entire county?

a. (10065)(0.71)65(0.29)3510065(0.71)65(0.29)35

b. (10065)(0.29)65(0.71)3510065(0.29)65(0.71)35

c.

P(z≤0.65-0.71(0.71)(0.29)100)Pz≤0.65-0.71(0.71)(0.29)100

d.P(z≤0.65-0.71(0.65)(0.35)100)Pz≤0.65-0.71(0.65)(0.35)100

e.P(z≤0.65-0.71(0.71)(0.29)100)Pz≤0.65-0.71(0.71)(0.29)100

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is (c)P(z≤0.65-0.71(0.71)(0.29)100)Pz≤0.65-0.71(0.71)(0.29)100

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Given:

n=100x=65p=0.71

Let use the below formula:

σp^=p(1-p)n
02

Explanation for correct option

The binomial distribution's normal approximation is as follows: np≥10and nq≥10

np=100(0.71)=71≥10nq=n(1-p)=100(1-0.71)=29≥10

As a result, the conditions are met, and the normal distribution can then be applied to the binomial distribution.

Size of the sample

p^=xn=65100=0.65σp^=p(1-p)n=0.71(1-0.71)100=0.71(0.29)100z=x-μσ=0.65-0.710.71(029)100

The chance that the sample proportion is smaller than 0.65must be calculated.

P(p^<0.65)=PZ<0.65-0.710.7(02.2Ï€100

Therefore, the correct option is (c)

Making auto parts Refer to Exercise 54 . How many axles would you need to sample if you wanted the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x-x¯to be 0.0005mm ? Justify your answer.

Songs on an iPod David's iPod has about 10,000 songs. The distribution of the play times for these songs is heavily skewed to the right with a mean of 225 seconds and a standard deviation of 60 seconds. Suppose we choose an SRS of 10 songs from this population and calculate the mean play time x-x¯of these songs.

a. Identify the mean of the sampling distribution of x-x¯.

b. Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x-·x¯. Verify that the 10%condition is met.

78 refer to the following setting. In the language of government statistics, you are "in the labor force" if you are available for work and either working or actively seeking work. The unemployment rate is the proportion of the labor force (not of the entire population) that is unemployed. Here are estimates from the Current Population Survey for the civilian population aged 25 years and over in a recent year. The table entries are counts in thousands of people.

Unemployment Suppose that you randomly select one person 25 years of age or older.

a. What is the probability that a randomly chosen person 25 years of age or older is in the labor force?

b. If you know that a randomly chosen person 25 years of age or older is a college graduate, what is the probability that he or she is in the labor force?

c. Are the events "in the labor force" and "college graduate" independent? Justify your answer.

Cholesterol Suppose that the blood cholesterol level of all men aged 20 to 34 follows the Normal distribution with mean μ=188milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) and standard deviation σ=41mg/dl.

a. Choose an SRS of 100 men from this population. Describe the sampling distribution of x-·x¯.

b. Find the probability that x-x¯estimates μwithin ±3mg/dl. (This is the probability that x-x¯takes a value between 185 and191mg/dl

c. Choose an SRS of 1000 men from this population. Now what is the probability that x- x¯ falls within ±3mg/dl of μ? In what sense is the larger sample "better"?

Really cold cabin The dotplot shows the results of taking 300SRSs of 10temperature readings from a Normal population with μ=50and σ=3and recording the sample minimum each time. Suppose that the minimum of an actual sample is 40°F. What would you conclude about the thermostat manufacturer’s claim? Explain your reasoning.
