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…

1. On-time arrivals, lost baggage, and customer complaints are three measures that are typically used to measure the quality of service being offered by airlines. Suppose that the following values represent the on-time arrival percentage, amount of lost baggage, and customer complaints for 10 U.S. airlines. a. Based on the data above, if you randomly choose a Delta Air Lines flight, what is the probability that this individual flight will have an on-time arrival? b. If you randomly choose 1 of the 10 airlines for a follow-up study on airline quality ratings, what is the probability that you will choose an airline with less than two mishandled baggage reports per 1,000 passengers? c. If you randomly choose 1 of the 10 airlines for a follow-up study on airline quality ratings, what is the probability that you will choose an airline with more than one customer complaint per 1,000 passengers? d. What is the probability that a randomly selected AirTran Airways flight will not arrive on…
In an article that appears on a website,† Carlton Gunn, a public defender in Seattle, Washington, wrote about how he uses statistics in his work as an attorney. He states the following. I personally have used statistics in trying to challenge the reliability of drug testing results. Suppose the chance of a mistake in the taking and processing of a urine sample for a drug test is just 1 in 100. And your client has a "dirty" (i.e., positive) test result. Only a 1 in 100 chance that it could be wrong? Not necessarily. If the vast majority of all tests given—say 99 in 100—are truly clean, then you get one false dirty and one true dirty in every 100 tests, so that half of the dirty tests are false. Define the following events as given below. TD = event that the test result is dirty TC = event that the test result is clean D = event that the person tested is actually dirty C = event that the person tested is actually clean (a) Using the information in the quote, compute the following…
