Let Z be the standard normal variable with expected value 0 and variance (standard deviation) 1.According to the Chebyshev inequality,P(|Z| ≥ 0.72) ≤曲(give your answer to six decimal places)In fact,P(|Z| ≥ 0.72) ≈(give your answer to four decimal places using the table in Appendix A of the textbook)Hint: the complement of the event "|Z > 0.72" is the event "-0.72 < Z < 0.72."

To find P(Z ≥ 0.72) using the Chebyshev inequality, we need to first calculate the variance of Z,…

Answered: Let Z be the standard normal variable…

Suppose a random variable x is best described by a uniform probability distribution with range 2 to 5. Find the value of a that makes the following probability statements true. Help with the last one
Q4. Researchers developed a "dog IQ test" and find that the population of dogs in the United States has a mean score of µ = 20 on this test with a standard deviation of σ = 2. You decide to test a sample of n = 40 dogs to do some research about whether some breeds are smarter. You decide to first test your own dog (or your closest friend's or family member's, if you don't have one). What is the probability that your dog will score an "dog IQ" greater than 25 (which is the cut-off for "Doggie Genius")?
Let X denote the waiting time (in minutes) for a customer. An assistant manager claims that μ, the average waiting time of the entire population of customers, is 2 minutes with standard deviation also 2 minutes. The manager doesn't believe his assistant's claim, so he observes a random sample of 36 custoers. The average waiting time for the 36 customers is 3.2 minutes. What is the probability that the average of 36 customers is 3.2 minutes or more? Do you think that assistant manager's claim that the mean is 2 minutes is correct?
Suppose that a random sample of size 25 is to be selected from a population with mean 46 and standard deviation 8. What is the approximate probability that X will be more than .5 away from the population mean?
Researchers developed a "cat IQ test" and find that the population of cats in the United States has a mean score of u = 25 on this test with a standard deviation of g = 3. You decide to test a sample of n = 45 cats to do some research about whether some breeds are smarter. You collect your sample of n = 45 cats and find their mean cat IQ is M = 25.5. What is the probability of this sample? That is, what is p(M>25.5)?
For any problem where you use a preprogrammed TI function, you must write down which function you use (complete name, not just something like "normal" because there are multiple normal functions), what values you enter (in order), and what the calculator produces. Round all probabilities to at least four decimal places. According to an article in the Journal of Anatomy (May, 2013), the ratio of the length of a person's femur to the length of their tibia averages 1.23. Suppose this ratio is approximately normal with a mean of 1.23 and a standard deviation of sigma C. What proportion of people have a ratio between c1 and c2? e1 f1 3.564 6.1875 sigma 0.031 b1 1.25 c1 1.2187 c2 1.266 d1 90 beta 4.95 f2 14.058 g1 25.7 g2 70.9 h1 33.47 h2 58.06
Suppose that from the past experience a professor knows that the test score of a student taking his final examination is a random variable with mean 61 and a standard deviation 8.5. how many students would have to take the examination to ensure, with probability at least 0.94, that the class average would be within 3 of 61?
Suppose that 30% of all students who have to buy a text for a particular course want a new copy (the successes!), whereas the other 70% want a used copy. Consider randomly selecting 15 purchasers. In USE SALT (a) What are the mean value and standard deviation of the number who want a new copy of the book? (Round your standard deviation to two decimal places.) mean students standard deviation students (b) What is the probability that the number who want new copies is more than two standard deviations away from the mean value? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (c) The bookstore has 10 new copies and 10 used copies in stock. If 15 people come in one by one to purchase this text, what is the probability that all 15 will get the type of book they want from current stock? [Hint: Let X = the number who want a new copy. For what values of X will all 15 get what they want?] (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (d) Suppose that new copies cost $110 and used copies cost $80.…
The annual rainfall (in inches) in a certain region is normally distributed with mean = 40 and o=4. What is the probability that starting with this year, it will take more than 10 years before a year occurs having a rainfall of more than 50 inches? What assumption are you making?
