A survey asks 1100 workers, "Has the economy forced you to reduce the amount of vacation you plan to take this year?" Forty-six percent of those surveyed say they are reducing the amount of vacation. Ten workers participating in the survey are randomly selected. The random variable represents the number of workers who are reducing the amount of vacation. Decide whether the experiment is a binomial experiment. If it is, identify a success, specify the values of n, p, and q, and list the possible values of the random variable x. Is the experiment a binomial experiment? No Yes What is a success in this experiment?

Bill Alther is a zoologist who studies Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna).† Suppose that in a remote part of the Grand Canyon, a random sample of six of these birds was caught, weighed, and released. The weights (in grams) were as follows. 3.7 2.9 3.8 4.2 4.8 3.1 The sample mean is x = 3.75 grams. Let x be a random variable representing weights of hummingbirds in this part of the Grand Canyon. We assume that x has a normal distribution and o= 0.88 gram. Suppose it is known that for the population of all Anna's hummingbirds, the mean weight is = 4.65 grams. Do the data indicate that the mean weight of these birds in this part of the Grand Canyon is less than 4.65 grams? Use x=0.10. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. Will you use a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test?

A pathologist has been studying the frequency of bacterial colonies within the field of a microscope using samples of throat cultures from healthy adults. Long-term history indicates that there is an average of 2.80 bacteria colonies per field. Let r be a random variable that represents the number of bacteria colonies per field. Let O represent the number of observed bacteria colonies per field for throat cultures from healthy adults. A random sample of 100 healthy adults gave the following information. 2 3 4 5 or more 13 18 28 16 17 8 (a) The pathologist wants to use a Poisson distribution to represent the probability of r, the number of bacteria colonies per field. The Poisson distribution is given below. P(r) = r! Here 1 = 2.80 is the average number of bacteria colonies per field. Compute P(r) for r = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 or more. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) P(0) = P(1) = Р(2) Р(3) 3 P(4) = %3D P(5 or more) = (b) Compute the expected number of colonies E = 100P(r)…
. Assume that the box contains balls numbered from 1 through 28, and that 3 are selected. A random variable X is defined as 3 times the number of odd balls selected, plus 4 times the number of even. How many different values are possible for the random variable X?
An ordinary (fair) coin is tossed 3 times. Outcomes are thus triples of "heads" (h) and "tails" (t) which we write hth, ttt, etc. For each outcome, let R be the random variable counting the number of heads in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is tth, then =Rtth1. Suppose that the random variable X is defined in terms of R as follows: =X−R2−3R4. The values of X are given in the table below. Outcome htt tht hth thh ttt hhh hht tth Value of X −6 −6 −6 −6 −4 −4 −6 −6 Calculate the values of the probability distribution function of X, i.e. the function p X. First, fill in the first row with the values of X. Then fill in the appropriate probabilities in the second row.
