What is the age distribution of promotion-sensitive shoppers? A supermarket super shopper is defined as a shopper for whom at least 70% of the items purchased were on sale or purchased with a coupon. Age range, years 18-28 29-39 40-50 51-61 62 and over Midpoint x 23 34 45 56 67 Percent of super shoppers 10% 47% 23% 9% 11%   For the 62-and-over group, use the midpoint 67 years. (a)Using the age midpoints x and the percentage of super shoppers, do we have a valid probability distribution? pick correct answer: -No. The events are indistinct and the probabilities sum to more than 1 -No. The events are distinct and the probabilities sum to 1.    -Yes. The events are distinct and the probabilities do not sum to 1. -Yes. The events are distinct and the probabilities sum to 1. -Yes. The events are indistinct and the probabilities sum to less than 1.   b) Compute the expected age ? of a super shopper. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) ? =  yr   c) Compute the standard deviation ? for ages of super shoppers. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) ? =  yr

Question
What is the age distribution of promotion-sensitive shoppers? A supermarket super shopper is defined as a shopper for whom at least 70% of the items purchased were on sale or purchased with a coupon.
Age range, years 18-28 29-39 40-50 51-61 62 and over
Midpoint x 23 34 45 56 67
Percent of super shoppers 10% 47% 23% 9% 11%

 

For the 62-and-over group, use the midpoint 67 years.
(a)Using the age midpoints x and the percentage of super shoppers, do we have a valid probability distribution? pick correct answer:
-No. The events are indistinct and the probabilities sum to more than 1
-No. The events are distinct and the probabilities sum to 1.   
-Yes. The events are distinct and the probabilities do not sum to 1.
-Yes. The events are distinct and the probabilities sum to 1.
-Yes. The events are indistinct and the probabilities sum to less than 1.
 
b) Compute the expected age ? of a super shopper. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
? =  yr
 
c) Compute the standard deviation ? for ages of super shoppers. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
? =  yr
