According to an almanac, 606 of adult smokers started smokng before turning 18 years old. (a) Compute the mean and standard deviation of the random varlable X, the number of smokers who started before 18 in 100 trials of the probability experiment. (b) Interpret the mean. (c) Would it be unusual to observe 90 smokers who started smoking before turning 18 years old in a random sample of 100 adult smokers? Why? O A. It is expected that in 50% of random samples of 100 adult smokers, 60 will have started ymoking before tuming 18. B. It is expected that in a random sample of 100 adult smokers, 60 will have started smoking after tuming 18. c. It is expected that in a random sample of 100 adult smokers, 60 will have started smoking before turning 18. (c) Would it be unusual to observe 90 smokers who started smoking before turning 18 years old in a random sample of 100 adult smokers? O A. No, because 90 is between u-20 and u+ 20. O B. Yes, because 90 is between u- 20 and + 20. OC. No, because 90 is greater than u + 20. D. Yes, because 90 is greater than u+ 20. O E. No, because 90 is less than u-20.

In the probability distribution to the right, the random variable X represents the number of marriages an individual aged 15 years or older has been involved in. Compute and interpret the mean of the random variable X Px = marriages (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) Which of the following interpretations of the mean is correct? O A. If many randomly selected individuals aged 15 years or older were surveyed, the observed number of marriages will be equal to the mean number of marriages for most individuals. OB. If many randomly selected individuals aged 15 years or older were surveyed, the observed number of marriages will be less than the mean number of marriages for most individuals OC. If many randomly selected individuals 40 to 49 years of age were surveyed, the sample mean number of marriages should be close to the mean of the random variable. OD. If many individuals aged 15 year or older were surveyed, the sample mean number of marriages should be close to the mean of…
According to a study done by Nick Wilson of Otago University Wellington, the probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mouth when sneezing is 0.267. Suppose you sit on a bench in a mall and observe people's habits as they sneeze. Complete parts (a) through (c). (a) What is the probability that among 18 randomly observed individuals, exactly 5 do not cover their mouth when sneezing? Using the binomial distribution, the probability is 0.2050. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (b) What is the probability that among 18 randomly observed individuals, fewer than 6 do not cover their mouth when sneezing? Using the binomial distribution, the probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
A Statistics class has 85 students. 48 of these are females and 37 are males. A random sample of 11 students in the class is selected. Let X = the number of the selected students who are female. a. What is the expected value of X? b. What is the standard deviation of X? c. What is the probability that X is within 2.0 standard deviations of its expected value? d. What is the probability that X = 1.5?
3. The amount of time it takes a TELNOR cashier to serve customers in service by car is a normally distributed random variable, with mean 3.2 minutes and standard deviation 1.6 minutes. Given a random sample of 64 customers served in a day, find the probability that the average time spent serving these customers is: (a) less than 2.7 minutes b) more than 3.5 minutes c) at least 3.0 minutes, but less than 3.4 minutes.
a) Turkey is the most tea-loving country in the world. In 2014, the annual per capita consumption of tea in Turkey, denoted X, was normally distributed with a mean of 6:96 lb and a standard deviation of 2:36 lb. b)You pick a random sample of 5 people from Turkey (assume all of them are tea drinkers) and compute their mean per capita tea consumption to be only 3:98 lb. (i) What is the probability that her random sample has an average of 3:98 lb or lower, when the population average is as given above? (ii)Recall that a large sample size makes it unlikely thatthe sample mean is too far away from the population mean. How big a samsle should you have to draw so that the standard deviation of your sample average is less than 10% of its mean (i.e., less than 0.696 lb)?
An employee survey conducted by a company two years ago found that 53% of its employees were concerned about future health care benefits: A random sample of 80 of these employees were asked if they were now concemed about future health care benefits. Answer the following, assuming that there has been no change in the level of concern about health care benefits compared to the survey bwo years ago a What is the standard enor of the sample proportion who are concerned? b. What is the probability that the sample proportion is less than 0.507 cWhat is the upper limit of the sample proportion such that only 4% of the time the sample proportion would exceed this value?

c. Tests from a laboratory show that 20% of rats have a deadly disease that can be transmitted via contact with their faeces.

According to a study done by Nick Wilson of Otago University Wellington, the probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mouth when sneezing is 0.267. Suppose you s bench in a mall and observe people's habits as they sneeze. Complete parts (a) through (c). (a) Using the binomial distribution, what is the probability that among 10 randomly observed individuals, exactly 8 do not cover their mouth when sneezing? The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.). (b) Using the binomial distribution, what is the probability that among 10 randomly observed individuals, fewer than 4 do not cover their mouth when sneezing? The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (c) Using the binomial distribution, would you be surprised if, after observing 10 individuals, fewer than half covered their mouth when sneezing? Why? it (Round to four decimal places as needed.) be surprising, because the probability is, which is C 0.05.
