A sociologist surveyed the households in a neighboring town and recorded the number of dependent children in the household. The following probability distribution was created based on the survey. Use the probability distribution to answer the following questions x 0 1 2 3 4 P(x) 0.07 0.20 0.38 0.22 0.13 True or false. The expected number of dependent children in the household must be a whole number because it represents what we expected to get in every household
Yorkies Company has fixed costs of $80,000 per month. Variable costs are $12 per item produced. The selling price per unit is fixed at $20. From the past company data, you have determined that Yorkies Company's monthly output follows a normal probability distribution with mean 11,100 and variance 550,000 . Calculate the chance that Yorkies will make a loss this month. a.11% b.10% c.9% d.7% e.7%

Company F sells fabrics known as fat quarters, which are rectangles of fabric created by cutting a yard of fabric into four pieces. Occasionally the manufacturing process results in a fabric defect. Let the random variable X represent the number of defects on a fat quarter created by Company F. The following table shows the probability distribution of X. X 0 1 2 3 4 or more Probability 0.58 0.23 0.11 0.05 0.03 If a fat quarter has more than 2 defects, it cannot be sold and is discarded. Let the random variable Y represent the number of defects on a fat quarter that can be sold by Company F. (a) Construct the probability distribution of the random variable Y. (b) Determine the mean and standard deviation of Y. Show your work. Company G also sells fat quarters. The mean and standard deviation of the number of defects on a fat quarter that can be sold by Company G are 0.40 and 0.66, respectively. The fat quarters sell for $5.00 each, but are discounted by…
