Suppose that in a certain large population, the proportion of people that have blue eyes is 0.34. If 10 people are randomly and independently selected from this population, what is the probability that more than one has blue eyes? (Give your response to at least 3 decimal places
The probabilities that the diameter of any item is less than, greater than or equal to some accepted value are respectively 0.05, 0.10 and 0.85. From the total lot, one selects 100 random samples. Find the probability that among them there will be five items with a smaller diameter and five with a larger diameter than the acceptable diameter.
Suppose weights, in pounds, of dogs in a city have an unknown distribution with mean 31and standard deviation 5 pounds. A sample of size n=39 is randomly taken from the population and the sum is taken. What is the probability that the resulting sum is between 1180 and 1194 pounds?
Suppose that a random sample of size 25 is to be selected from a population with mean 46 and standard deviation 8. What is the approximate probability that X will be more than .5 away from the population mean?
The president of Doerman Distributors, Inc., believes that 28% of the firm's orders come from first-time customers. A simple random sample of 100 orders will be used to estimate the proportion of first-time customers. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be between 0.16 and 0.40 (to 4 decimals)? What is the probability that the sample proportion will be between 0.21 and 0.35 (to 4 decimals)?
Suppose you are a lawyer representing a Hispanic individual in a criminal trial. Twelve jurors are randomly selected by the state from a population that you know to be 40% Hispanic. 4.8 JURORS ARE EXPECTED TO BE HISPANIC. The select process produces a jury with 3 Hispanic individuals, meaning that 25% of the jury is Hispanic. Using the binomial distribution we find that the probability that 3 or fewer jurors would be Hispanic is 0.2253. Create a graph of the distribution with the area corresponding to the previous information. Use Statistics to make an argument to the court on behalf of your client. Explain why random sampling in this situation of juror selection relates the expected sample proportion to the population proportion.Compare the expected value to the actual sample proportion.
Suppose that from the past experience a professor knows that the test score of a student taking his final examination is a random variable with mean 61 and a standard deviation 8.5. how many students would have to take the examination to ensure, with probability at least 0.94, that the class average would be within 3 of 61?
Suppose that 70% of Americans support the death penalty for persons convicted of murder. Let p> (p hat) be the sample proportion of proportion of people who support the death penalty in an SRS of Americans. Suppose we set our sample size to be n=84. What is the probability of choosing an SRS in which between 65% and 73% of the people in the people in the sample support the death penalty? That is, find P(0.65<p(phat)<0.73). Show your work and box your answer.
