A semi-truck can transport a maximum of 14,950 pounds. Suppose that a load of cargo containing 115 boxes needs to be transported via this semi-truck. Research has shown that the weights of boxes for this type of cargo have a distribution that has a population mean weight of 125 pounds and a population standard deviation of 20 pounds. Based on this information, what is the probability that all 115 boxes can be safely loaded into the semi-truck and transported?
According to the Current Population Survey (Internet Release date: September 2004), 42% of females between the ages of 18 and 24 years lived at home in 2003. (Unmarried college students living in a dorm are counted as living at home). Suppose a survey is administered today to 425 randomly selected females between the age of 18 and 24 years and 204 respond that they live at home. 1. Does this define a binomial distribution? Justify your answer 2. If so, can you use the normal approximation to binomial distribution? Justify your answer and state what the mean and standard deviation of the normal approximation are. 3. Using the binomial probability distribution, what is the probability that at least 204 of the respondents living at home under the assumption that the true percentage is 42%? 4. Using the normal approximation to binomial, what is the probability that at least 204 of the respondents living at home under the assumption that the true percentage is 42%?
Suppose that public opinion in a large city is 72 percent in favor of allowing a large recycling plant to be constructed using taxpayer funds and 28 percent against such a build. If a random sample of 300 people from this city is interviewed, what is the approximate probability that more than 100 of these people will be against increasing taxes? Are we suppose to use binomial distribution formula or the sampling distribution of the proportion formula for this problem?
Suppose the demand for a company’s product in week 1,2, & 3 are each normally distributed. The means are 50, 45, and 65. The standard deviations are 10,5, and 15. Assume these 3 demands are probabilistically independent. Suppose the company has 180 units in stock, and it will not be receiving any more shipments from its supplier for at least 3 weeks. What is the probability that stock will run out during the 3 week period? How many units should the company have in stock, so that it can be 98% certain of not running out during the 3 week period , assuming it will not receive any more shipments during this period?
Data from 14 cities were combined for a 20-year period, and the total 280 city-years included a total of 107 homicides. After finding the mean number of homicides per city-year, find the probability that a randomly selected city-year has the following numbers of homicides, then compare the actual results to those expected by using the Poisson probabilities:
A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of ibuprofen tablets and uses sampling plan to accept the shipmemts. They randomly select and test 27 tablets, and accept the entire batch if there is at most one tablet that does not meet the required specifications.Suppose a particular shipment of ibuprofen tablets has a 4% rate of defects. What is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted?
