Chapter 7: Q. 2.20 (page 491)

A grocery chain runs a prize game by giving each customer a ticket that may win a prize when the box is scratched off. Printed on the ticket is a dollar value (\(500,\)100,\(25) or the statement "This ticket is not a winner." Monetary prizes can be redeemed for groceries at the store. Here is the probability distribution of the amount won on a randomly selected ticket:

Which of the following are the mean and standard deviation, respectively, of the winnings?

a. \)15.00,\(2900.00

b. \)15.00,\(53.85

c. \)15.00,\(26.93

d. \)156.25,\(53.85

e. \)156.25,$26.93

Short Answer

Expert verified

(b) The mean and standard deviation, respectively, of the winnings are$15.00,$53.85.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Given,

Amount won
$500
$100
$100$0
Probability0.01

0.05		0.20
0.74

Below is the formulae used to get the result,

渭=鈭�x脳p(x)蟽2=鈭�(x-渭)2脳p(x)蟽=蟽2
02

Explanation for correct option

Let's consider,

渭=500脳0.01+100脳0.05+25脳0.20+0脳0.74=15

Variance

蟽2=(500-15)2脳0.01+(100-15)2脳0.05+(25-15)2脳0.20+(0-15)2脳0.74=2900

The standard deviation (SD)

蟽=2900=53.85

Therefore, the correct option is (b)

03

Explanation for incorrect option

(a) The mean and standard deviation, respectively, of the winnings will not be$15.00,$2900.00.

(c)The mean and standard deviation, respectively, of the winnings will not be$15.00,$26.93.

(d)The mean and standard deviation, respectively, of the winnings will not be$156.25,$53.85.

(e)The mean and standard deviation, respectively, of the winnings will not be$156.25,$26.93.

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?
