The mean height of women in a country (ages 20−29) is 64.4 inches. A random sample of 75 women in this age group is selected. What is the probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 65 inches? Assume σ=2.77.
Use a normal approximation to find the probability of the indicated number of voters. In this case, assume that 137 eligible voters aged 18-24 are randomly selected. Suppose a previous study showed that among eligible voters aged 18-24, 22% of them voted. Probability that fewer than 35 voted The probability that fewer than 35 of 137 eligible voters voted is nothing.
In 2014 the NY Yankees had a team batting average of u=245 (actually .245 but we'll multiply by 1000 so we can avoid decimals). Assuming the distribution of batting averages is normal for 162 games with o- 40, answer the questions below. A. If you randomly select one game from 2014, what's the probability that the team batting average was less than 200? B. The probability is 40 that you will randomly select a game from 2014 in which the team batting average was at least C. If you randomly select one game from 2014, what's the probability that the team batting average was between 245 and 250?
Suppose x is a uniform random variable with values ranging from 40 to 90. Find the probability that a randomly selected observation exceeds 55.
A statistics professor plans classes so carefully that the lengths of her classes are uniformly distributed between 43 and 49 minutes. Find the probability that a given class period runs between 47 and 48.8 minutes. Find the probability of selecting a class that runs between 47 and 48.8 minutes.
4. Discrete probability distributions #1 You may calculate the answers of the following questions using the appropriate probability distribution function from the equations in your textbook. (You will need to read the questions first to determine the appropriate distribution.) However, you may also determine these answers by using the Distributions tool. Select the appropriate distribution from the dropdown box in the upper left-hand corner. Set the parameters accordingly, and select the radio button in the lower left-hand corner depending on whether you want the probability of a single outcome (left) or a cumulative probability (right).
