Chapter 7: Q.AP2.25 - Cumulative AP Practise Test (page 438)

In a city library, the mean number of pages in a novel is 525 with a standard deviation of 200. Approximately 30%of the novels have fewer than 400 pages. Suppose that you randomly select 50 novels from the library.

a. What is the probability that the average number of pages in the sample is less than 500 ?

b. What is the probability that at least 20 of the novels have fewer than 400 pages?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)the probability that the total number of pages is less than 25,000 is 0.1894

(b)Then approximation the binomial distribution by the normal distribution渭p^=p=0.30

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information

渭=525蟽=200n=50

Formula used:

z=x炉-渭蟽/n

02

Part (a) Step 2: Simplification

Sample mean is

25,0050=500z=x炉-渭蟽/n=500-525200/50=-0.88P(x炉<500)=P(Z<-0.88)=0.1894

Therefore the probability that the total number of pages is less than 25,000 is 0.1894

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

n=50p=30%=0.30

Formula used:

蟽p^=p(1-p)nz=x-渭蟽

04

Part (b) Step 2: Simplification

For a normal approximation of the binomial distribution: np鈮�and nq鈮�10.

np=50(0.30)=15鈮�10nq=n(1-p)=50(1-0.35)=35鈮�10

Then approximation the binomial distribution by the normal distribution

渭p^=p=0.30

The manufacturer of a certain brand of aluminum foil claims that the amount of foil on each roll follows a Normal distribution with a mean of 250 square feet (ft2 ) and a standard deviation of 2 ft2 . To test this claim, a restaurant randomly selects 10 rolls of this aluminum foil and carefully measures the mean area to bex=249.6ft2.

a. Find the probability that the sample mean area is 249.6ft2or less if the manufacturer鈥檚 claim is true.

b. Based on your answer to part (a), is there convincing evidence that the company is overstating the average area of its aluminum foil rolls?

Iced tea On Tuesday, the bottles of Arizona Iced Tea filled in a plant were supposed to contain an average of 20ounces of iced tea. Quality control inspectors selected 50bottles at random from the day鈥檚 production. These bottles contained an average of 19.6 ounces of iced tea. Identify the population, the parameter, the sample, and the statistic.

refer to the following graph. Here is a dotplot of the adult literacy rates in 177 countries in a recent year, according to the United Nations. For example, the lowest literacy rate was 23.6 %, in the African country of Burkina Faso. Mali had the next lowest literacy rate at 24.0 %.

The overall shape of this distribution is

a. clearly skewed to the right.

b. clearly skewed to the left.

c. roughly symmetric.

d. uniform.

e. There is no clear shape.

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.

Bag check Thousands of travelers pass through the airport in Guadalajara, Mexico, each day. Before leaving the airport, each passenger must pass through the customs inspection area. Customs agents want to be sure that passengers do not bring illegal items into the country. But they do not have time to search every traveler's luggage. Instead, they require each person to press a button. Either a red or a green bulb lights up. If the red light flashes, the passenger will be searched by customs agents. A green light means "Go ahead." Customs agents claim that 30%of all travelers will be stopped (red light), because the light has probability of showing red on any push of the button. To test this claim, a concerned citizen watches a random sample of 100 travelers push the button. Only 20 get a red light.

a. Assume that the customs agents' claim is true. Find the probability that the proportion of travelers who get a red light in a random sample of 100 travelers is less than or equal to the result in this sample.

b. Based on your results in part (a), is there convincing evidence that less than 30%of all travelers will be stopped? Explain your reasoning.
