3. According to the 2001 Kids Count Data Book, about 80% of children under the age of 2 in the United States are immunized. A public health agency in Indiana wants to see how Indiana children compare with children nationally. They select a random sample of 10 children under the age of 2 and count the number who have been immunized. a. What is the probability that exactly 3 of the 10 children have been immunized? b. If y represents the number of children out of 10 who have been immunized, what are the mean and standard deviation of y?
B. If the gondola is filled with 25 randomly selected skiers, what is the probability that their mean weight exceeds the value from part A. C. If the weight assumptions were revised so that the new capacity became 20 passengers and the gondola is filled with 20 randomly selected skiers, what is the probability that their mean weight exceeds 175 lb, which is the max weight what does not cause the total load to exceed 3500lb D. Is the new capacity of 20 passengers safe? Since the probability of overloading is (under 5%, over 50%) the new capacity (does not appear, appears) to be safe enough.

4. For the two circumstances below, explain which type of probability (empirical, subjective, theoretical) is being used to make the prediction. If more than one type of probability is involved, explain which elements of the process use which of the methods. a. A scientist studying ants builds an ant farm and maps the routes they travel throughout the course of a week through careful observation. Later the scientist uses these observations to generate an interactive map of a natural environment that lists the probability of finding ants in any given location at a particular time. b. A social scientist studying grocery store accessibility in a city recruits a small sample of study volunteers and interviews them about how far they travel for groceries. The researcher finds in the study that people from higher-income neighborhoods travel significantly less than people from low-income neighborhoods. Using a statistical model, the researcher predicts that their sample has a 95% chance of…

According to a study conducted by a statistical organization, the proportion of people who are satisfied with the way things are going in their lives is 0.78. Suppose that a random sample of 100 people is obtained. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. different people feel differently regarding their satisfaction. D. The sample proportion p is a random variable because the value of p represents a random person included in the sample. The variability is due to the fact that people may not be responding to the question truthfully. (c) Describe the sampling distribution of p, the proportion of people who are satisfied with the way things are going in their life. Be sure to verify the model requirements. Since the sample size is no more than 5% of the population size and np(1 - p) = 17.16 2 10, the distribution of p is approximately normal with Ha = 0.780 and On = 0.041 . (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (d) In the sample obtained in part (a), what is the probability that the…
