Question

A recent survey by the American Accounting Association revealed 52% of accountants have the Certified Public Accounting (CPA) certificate. Suppose we select a sample of 15 accountants.

a-1. What is the random variable?

a-2. How is the random variable distributed?

b. What is the probability five of the 15 accountants are CPAs? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

c. What is the probability seven or eight of the 15 accountants are CPAs? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

d. What is the mean of the distribution of “number of CPA’s among 15 accountants”? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

e. What is the variance of the distribution of “number of CPA’s among 15 accountants”? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
