(a) A box contains 7 balls. Two are numbered 3, three is numbered 4, and two are numbered 5. The balls are mixed and one is selected at random. After a ball is selected, its number is recorded. Then it is replaced. The probability distribution table is given below. Number on ball (X) 3 4 Probability P(X) 2/7 3/7 2/7 If the experiment is repeated many times, find the variance and standard deviation of the numbers on the balls. (b) Public Opinion reported that 5% of Americans are afraid of being alone in a house at night. If a random sample of 20 Americans is selected, find these probabilities. (1). There are exactly 4 people in the sample who are afraid of being alone at night. (). There are at most 3 people in the sample who are afraid of being alone at night.

ACTIVITY NO. 5: COMPUTING PROBABILITY CORRESPONDING TO A GIVEN RANDOM VARIABLE NAME: . TRACK/STRAND & SEC.: SCORE: (HOW MANY SIBLINGS DO THE LEARNERS HAVE) In your Statistics class, the teacher wants to know the number of siblings the learners have. Teacher: How many of the class have 0 sibling? Class: (There were 2 learners who raised their hands.) Teacher: How many of you has 1 sibling? Class: (There were 10 learners who raised their hands.) This continues until 7 siblings. Suppose that we have the following table of frequencies. Let us use W to represent the number of sibling/s. Probability of the jRandom Variable (W) P(W) 2/50 = 0.04 = 4% 10/50= 0.2% = 20% 28/50=0.56%=56% 5/50=0.1 = 10% 3/50=0.06 6% 1/50=0.02 = 2% W= Number of siblings Frequency %3D 1 10 %3D 28 3 4 3 %3D 1 7 1 1/50-0.02 2% Total

We toss three symmetrical coins. If all the coins are heads, we win $10, if all the coins are tails, we win $5, if exactly two heads are heads, we lose $10, and if exactly two tails are heads, we lose $1. Determine the distribution of the random variable that assigns a win to the result of the toss, calculate its expected value, variance, and standard deviation.
Imagine that you are training to run a half-marathon and so every week you have 2 intense days, 3 light days, and 2 rest days. On your intense days you run 16 km, on your light days you run 5 km, and on your rest days you do not run. How would you model your miles run per day as a random variable? (Hint: probability distribution)
Company F sells fabrics known as fat quarters, which are rectangles of fabric created by cutting a yard of fabric into four pieces. Occasionally the manufacturing process results in a fabric defect. Let the random variable X represent the number of defects on a fat quarter created by Company F. The following table shows the probability distribution of X. X 0 1 2 3 4 or more Probability 0.58 0.23 0.11 0.05 0.03 If a fat quarter has more than 2 defects, it cannot be sold and is discarded. Let the random variable Y represent the number of defects on a fat quarter that can be sold by Company F. (a) Construct the probability distribution of the random variable Y. (b) Determine the mean and standard deviation of Y. Show your work. Company G also sells fat quarters. The mean and standard deviation of the number of defects on a fat quarter that can be sold by Company G are 0.40 and 0.66, respectively. The fat quarters sell for $5.00 each, but are discounted by…
