The probability that a randomly selected calf was born in the night or was a female is369513.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The table is

Males12915117261
Females11818116252
Total24733233513

Formulae used:

Probability=Fawourable CasesTotal Cases

Complement rule:

PAc=P(notA)=1-P(A)

Addition rule for any two events:

P(AorB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(AandB)

Definition conditional probability:

P(B/A)=P(AB)P(A)=P(AandB)P(A)

Explanation for correct option

It has been discovered that 233 of the 513 people were born at night.

P(Born at night)=Noof favorable outcomesNoof possible outcomes=233513

It was also discovered that 252 of the 513 people were female.

P(Female)=Noof favorable outcomesNoof possible outcomes=252513

Finally, we should mention that 116 of the 513 people were female and were born at night.

P (Female and Born at night)=Noof faworable outcomesNoof possible outcomes=116513

P( Female and Born at night)=P (Female) +P (Born at night) -P

(Female and Born at night)

=233513+252513-216513=223-262-116513=369513

Therefore, the correct option is (a)

Explanation for incorrect option

(b) The probability that a randomly selected calf was born in the night or was a female is not485513

(c) The probability that a randomly selected calf was born in the night or was a female is not116513

(d) The probability that a randomly selected calf was born in the night or was a female is not 116252

(e) The probability that a randomly selected calf was born in the night or was a female is not 116233

Suppose we select an SRS of size n=100n=100from a large population having proportion p of successes. Let pp^be the proportion of successes in the sample. For which value of p would it be safe to use the Normal approximation to the sampling distribution of pp^?

a. 0.01

b. 0.09

c. 0.85

d. 0.975

e. 0.999

Tall girls According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the distribution of height for 16-year-old females is modeled well by a Normal density curve with mean =64inches and standard deviation =2.5inches. Assume this claim is true for the three hundred 16-year-old females at a large high school.

a. Make a graph of the population distribution.

b. Imagine one possible SRS of size 20from this population. Sketch a dotplot of the distribution of sample data.

Suppose that you have torn a tendon and are facing surgery to repair it. The orthopedic surgeon explains the risks to you. Infection occurs in 3%of such operations, the repair fails in 14%, and both infection and failure occur together 1%of the time. What is the probability that the operation is successful for someone who has an operation that is free from infection?

a. 0.8342

b. 0.8400

c. 0.8600

d. 0.8660

e. 0.9900

Dem bones (2.2) Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become brittle due to the loss of minerals. To diagnose osteoporosis, an elaborate apparatus measures bone mineral density (BMD). BMD is usually reported in a standardized form. The standardization is based on a population of healthy young adults. The World Health Organization (WHO) criterion for osteoporosis is a BMD score that is 2.5standard deviations below the mean for young adults. BMD measurements in a population of people similar in age and gender roughly follow a Normal distribution.

a. What percent of healthy young adults have osteoporosis by the WHO criterion?

b. Women aged 70to 79are, of course, not young adults. The mean BMD in this age group is about-2 on the standard scale for young adults. Suppose that the standard deviation is the same as for young adults. What percent of this older population has osteoporosis?

At a traveling carnival, a popular game is called the 鈥淐ash Grab.鈥 In this game, participants step into a sealed booth, a powerful fan turns on, and dollar bills are dropped from the ceiling. A customer has 30 seconds to grab as much cash as possible while the dollar bills swirl around. Over time, the operators of the game have determined that the mean amount grabbed is \(13 with a standard deviation of \)9. They charge \(15 to play the game and expect to have 40 customers at their next carnival.

a. What is the probability that an SRS of 40 customers grab an average of \)15 or more?

b. How much should the operators charge if they want to be 95% certain that the mean amount grabbed by an SRS of 40 customers is less than what they charge to play the game?
