M650 Question 1 Assume the following joint and marginal probabilities: P(Male | Republican) is a ________ probability. Joint Conditional Marginal Question 2 Given the following partial relative frequency table Republican Democrat Independent Male 0.188 0.191 0.169 Female 0.118 0.197 ? Compute P(Female | Democrat) and enter your answer with 3 decimal places. 0.507 Question 3 Given the following partial relative frequency table Republican Democrat Independent Male 0.158 0.146 0.116 Female 0.110 0.186 ? Compute P(Republican | Male) and enter your answer with 3 decimal places. 0.520 Question 4 Assume breast cancer affects 0.002 of the female population between 45 and 55 years of age. There are two kinds of positive test results:
M650 o True positive (the test indicates you have a disease, and you actually have it) o False positive (the test indicates you have a disease, but you actually do not have it). Assume mammograms are o 0.93 accurate detecting people who actually have breast cancer (true positive rate) o 0.94 accurate for people who do not have breast cancer (true negative rate). Compute the probability that a female who tests positive for breast cancer has breast cancer and enter your answer with 3 decimal places. 0.030 Question 5 Choose all of the correct answers for the characteristics of a Binomial Probability Distribution. The binomial trials are dependent on each other. The binomial trials are independent of each other. An example of a binomial trial is rolling a die. There can be three or more outcomes of each binomial trial. Each binomial trial has only 2 possibilities. An example of a binomial trial is flipping coins. The variables are continuous. The variables are discrete. Question 6 (7/8) Select all correct answers for the Poisson probability distribution. The variable in a Poisson trial is counted. The Poisson distribution describes a situation where the probability of success does not remain the same from trial to trial. The Poisson distribution describes the number of events occurring in a unit of space or time. The Poisson distribution's mean=median=mode. An example of a Poisson trial is counting the number of misspelled words in a magazine article. The variables in a Poisson trial are measured. An example of a Poisson trial is selecting the members of a committee from one business. The Poisson distribution is always positively skewed. Question 7
M650 Misa earned a score of 90 on her latest exam. The professor determined that all of the scores from this exam had a normal distribution with a mean of 89 and a standard deviation of 2. What is Misa's Z score on her exam? Round to three decimal digits. 0.5 Question 8 Blue Crab lengths have a normal distribution with a mean of 3 inches and a standard deviation of 2 inches. What is the Z value of 10 inches? Round to three decimal digits. 3.5 Question 9 In every normal distribution The mean and the median are equal. The mean is larger than the standard deviation The mean = 0 and the standard deviation = 1 The interquartile range covers 68% of the values Question 10 The Standard Normal Distribution is a Normal Distribution with the following characteristics: The mean is 1 and the standard deviation is 0 The mean is 0 and the standard deviation is 1 The mean and the standard deviation are 0 The mean and the standard deviation are 1 Question 11 In a normal distribution, the probability of a value larger than 1 standard deviation above the mean is: 32% 16%
