3.37 In 2003, the average combined SAT score (math and verbal) for college-bound students in the United States was 1026. Suppose that approximately 45% of all high school graduates took this test and that 100 high school graduates are randomly selected from among all high school grads in the United States. Which of the following random variables has a distribution that can be approximated by a binomial distribution? Whenever possible, give the values for n and p. a The number of students who took the SAT b The scores of the 100 students in the sample c The number of students in the sample who scored above average on the SAT d The amount of time required by each student to complete the SAT e The number of female high school grads in the sample

A company produces 10,000 bags per day. This company supplies bags to a shop which sells them in packs of 10 bags per pack. If less than two of a randomly selected pack (of 10 bags) from the order are defective, the shop accepts the whole order. The proportion of defective bags produced by the manufacturing company is 10%. Let ? be the random variable representing the number of defective bags in a pack.i. Identify the type of distribution being described in this question and write down the value/s of its parameter/s.ii. What is the probability that the order will be accepted?iii. What is the probability that a randomly selected pack (of 10 bags) has more than two defective bags?
According to the Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in 2007 were for identity theft. This year, a certain state kept track of the number of its 1325 complaints were for identity theft. They want to know if the data provide enough evidence to show that this state had a different proportion of identity theft than 23%? State the random variable, population parameter, and hypotheses. The symbol for the random variable involved in this problem is The wording for the random variable in context is as follows: The symbol for the parameter involved in this problem is The wording for the parameter in context is as follows:

Bill Alther is a zoologist who studies Anna's hummingbird (Calypteanna). A random sample of nine of these birds was caught, weighed, and released in a remote part of the Grand Canyon. The weights observed (in grams) were : 3.7 2.9 3.8 4.2 4.8 3.1 3.5 4.3 3.0 Let x be a random variable representing weights of Anna's hummingbirds in this part of the Grand Canyon. Assuming x has a normal distribution with sample standard
A. Free Throw Shot - A player is awarded free throws whenever the player is fouled in a shooting motion. A free throw is counted as one point if the ball went in the basket and zero if it misses. Based on Piel's stats in his previous games, he makes 60% of his free throws. To improve, he shots 5 free throws every day in practice. Suppose the random variable, X, is the number of times Piel makes a basket in 5 free throw attempts. This illustrates a random experiment following a distribution with number of trials, n, equal to and probability of making a basket, p, equal to Accordingly, below is the probability distribution table for the number of baskets made in his practice, X. X P[X = x] 0 1 2 0.0102 0.0768 0.2304 3 0.3456 In his practice, the probability that he can get 2 to 4 points is the chance that he will make a perfect score is 4 0.2592 5 While
