Suppose in a statistics class, 60% of the students are female. Suppose 15 students from the class are randomly selected. (i) Use the normal approximation to the binomial to calculate the probability that this randomly selected group will contain ether seven or eight female students. (ii) Use the binomial distribution to calculate the probability that this randomly selected group will contain either seven or eight female students and compare this result to the result in problem (i)

For the binomial experiments in Problem find the probability of 5 successes in 10 trials if p = 0.4.
Suppose the number of radios in a household has a binomial distribution - with parameters n Find the probability 10, and p = 20 %. of a household having: (a) 6 or 8 radios (b) 6 or fewer radios (c) 6 or more radios (d) fewer than 8 radios. (e) more than 6 radios
(a) In the random number table, assign the digits 0 through 8 to the event "successful surgery" and the digit 9 to the event "unsuccessful surgery." Does this assignment of digits simulate 90% successful outcomes? Yes No (b) Use the random digit assignment model of part (a) to simulate the outcomes of 15 trials. Begin at column 1, line 2. (Enter S for success and F for failure, separated by commas.) (c) Your friend assigned the digits 1 through 9 to the event "successful surgery" and the digit 0 to the event "unsuccessful surgery." Does this assignment of digits simulate 90% successful outcomes? Yes No Using this digit assignment, repeat part (b). (Enter S for success and F for failure, separated by commas.)
Problem 5. On a distant alien planet, a full year lasts 5 days. The distribution of birthdays of the aliens who live on this planet is uniform. What is the probability that, if we randomly choose 3 aliens from this planet, at least 2 of them will have the same birthday? Explain.
3. Consider a property market where the price of your apartment is mod- elled by a binomial random variable. Under current market conditions, the probability that the value of your apartment increases in value by 5% (of its original value) in one month is 0.45. The probability that it decreases in value by 5% (of its original value) in one month is 0.55. Given your past experience with lockdowns and apartment living, you decide to relocate to a regional area in 6 months time. Let X denote the number of increases in the price of your apartment over these 6 months. (a) Find E(X) and o(X). (b) Let Y be the random variable which models the percentage change in the price of your apartment. Then Y = 0.05.X-0.05(6-X) because 0.05.X is the total percentage increase in price and 0.05(6- X) is the total percentage decrease in price. Simplify the expres- sion for Y in terms of X. Then using (a), find E(Y) and o(Y).
1. (a) Suppose that 10 cookies are distributed among 5 distinct children, what is the probability that every student get at least one cookie? (b) If n cookies are distributed among 32 distinct children, what is the probability in terms of n that at least one student gets none?
In studies for a medication, 7 percent of patients gained weight as a side effect. Suppose 565 patients are randomly selected. Use the normal approximation to the binomial to approximate the probability that (a) exactly 40 patients will gain weight as a side effect. (b) no more than 40 patients will gain weight as a side effect. (c) at least 51 patients will gain weight as a side effect. What does this result suggest? (a) P(40) = (Round to four decimal places as needed) (b) P(X< 40) = (Round to four decimal places as needed) (c) P(X251) = (Round to four decimal places as needed) Since 51 is than 7% of the patients, this suggests that the proportion of patients that gain weight as a side effect is 0.07.
In a certain country, the probability that a baby that is born is a boy is 0.52 and the probably that a baby that is born is a girl is 0.48. A family has two children. If X is the number of girls born to a family, find the probability that the family has 0, 1, or 2 girls. (a) Draw a tree diagram showing the possibilities for each outcome. (b) Create the binomial distribution table for P(X).
4. Make a “tree” diagram for the following scenario. You go to the corner of State St. and Center Ave and are looking to see if the drivers of the first three cars that pass by you are wearing hats or not wearing hats. a) Generate the probability distribution for problem number 4 assuming that the probability of a driver wearing a hat is 40% and the random variable x is the number of drivers wearing a hat. b) Find the mean, variance and the standard deviation of the probability distribution in part a.
