SOC At. St. Winnefred Hospital, the number of males and females in various job categories are as follows:
Job | Males | Females | Totals |
Doctor | 83 | 15 | 98 |
Nurse | 62 | 116 | 178 |
Orderly | 151 | 12 | 163 |
Lab technician | 32 | 30 | 62 |
Administrator | 12 | 1 | 13 |
Clerk | 72 | 141 | 213 |
Totals | 412 | 315 | 727 |
Read each question carefully before constructing the fraction and solving for the answer. (HINT: Be sure you place the proper number in the denominator of each fraction. For example, some problems use the total number of males or females as the denominator, whereas others use the total number of subjects.)
a. What percentage of nurses are male?
b. What proportion of orderlies are female?
c. For doctors, what is the ratio of males to females?
d. What percentage of the total staff are males?
e. What is the ratio of males to females for the entire sample?
f. What proportion of the clerks are male?
g. What percentage of the sample are administrators?
h. What is the ratio of female lab technicians?
i. What is the ratio of female lab technicians to male lab technicians?
j. What proportion of the males are clerks?

- Let X be a random variable with support SX = {−3, 0.5, 3, −2.5, 3.5}. Part ofits probability mass function (PMF) is given bypX(−3) = 0.15, pX(−2.5) = 0.3, pX(3) = 0.2, pX(3.5) = 0.15.(a) Find pX(0.5).(b) Find the cumulative distribution function (CDF), FX(x), of X.1(c) Sketch the graph of FX(x).arrow_forwardA well-known company predominantly makes flat pack furniture for students. Variability with the automated machinery means the wood components are cut with a standard deviation in length of 0.45 mm. After they are cut the components are measured. If their length is more than 1.2 mm from the required length, the components are rejected. a) Calculate the percentage of components that get rejected. b) In a manufacturing run of 1000 units, how many are expected to be rejected? c) The company wishes to install more accurate equipment in order to reduce the rejection rate by one-half, using the same ±1.2mm rejection criterion. Calculate the maximum acceptable standard deviation of the new process.arrow_forward5. Let X and Y be independent random variables and let the superscripts denote symmetrization (recall Sect. 3.6).
