Question

The Virginia Department of Health publishes COVID-19 vaccination data on their website. As of 10/5/2021, 60.6% of the population of Virginia is fully vaccinated. This rate varies drastically from county to county. Specifically, Fairfax County’s full vaccination rate is 74% and Lee County’s full vaccination rate is 40%. A researcher took a random sample of 14 individuals from Fairfax County and another random sample of 14 individuals from Lee County and asked them whether they could verify that they are fully vaccinated. Each sample was selected in a single day.

1. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the number of individuals from Fairfax County and Lee County in this sample who are fully vaccinated. Show your work using the binomial mean and binomial standard deviation formulas and provide your two means and two standard deviations in your document. Round your answers to two decimal places. (It is not necessary to use StatCrunch for this part.)

2. Calculate the probability that exactly seven of the 14 individuals from Fairfax County in this sample are fully vaccinated using the StatCrunch binomial calculator. Copy this image with values from StatCrunch into your document. Then, once you obtain your answer, round your answer to four decimal places and write a one sentence interpretation of the probability in context of the question.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
