Explanation of Solution

To obtain the 20 simple random samples of size 5, below steps are followed in Excel.

Step 1: Write the name and the gender of the club members in the Excel spreadsheet. The snapshot is shown below:

Step 2: Label each of the members using the numbers 1,2,,25. The snapshot is shown below:

Launchpad For Moore's Statistics: Concepts And Controversies (twelve Month Access), Chapter 3, Problem 13E , additional homework tip  3

Step 3: Use the formula =RANDBETWEN(Bottom, Top) to generate a single set of sample of size 5. Specify the “bottom” value as 1 and “top” value as 25 because there are 25 members. Discard the number if the same number is repeated after appearing once. Repeat the process to generate 20 set of random sample of size 5. The partial snapshot of the chosen random numbers is shown below:

To find the number of female in each sample, the label of each female member is matched with the obtained random number of each set of sample and then the number of female is counted. The number of females obtained in each set of samples are shown in the below table.

Samples Number of females Samples Number of females
Sample 1 2 Sample 11 1
Sample 2 1 Sample 12 2
Sample 3 2 Sample 13 4
Sample 4 3 Sample 14 2
Sample 5 1 Sample 15 3
Sample 6 2 Sample 16 2
Sample 7 3 Sample 17 0
Sample 8 1 Sample 18 2
Sample 9 1 Sample 19 1
Sample 10 2 Sample 20 2

Explanation of Solution

Graph: To obtain the histogram for the obtained result in previous part, Excel is used. The below steps are followed to obtain the required histogram.

Step 1: The number of females varies from 0 to 4. The number of samples are calculated corresponding to each number of females. The number of samples with the same number of female members is clustered. The snapshot of the obtained table is shown below:

Number of female members Number of samples
0 1
1 6
2 9
3 3
4 1

Step 2: Select the data set and go to insert and select the option of cluster column under the Recommended Charts. The screenshot is shown below:

Interpretation: The obtained histogram for the number of females in each set of sample follows normal distribution.

To determine

To find: The average number of females in 20 samples.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 13E

Solution: The average number of female is 1.85.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The average number of females can be obtained by using the formula:

Average=Sum of(Number of female memebers×Number of samples)Total number of samples

Hence, the average number of females is calculated as:

Average=Sum of(Number of female memebers×Number of samples)Total number of samples=(0×1)+(1×6)+(2×9)+(3×3)+(4×1)20=1.85

Therefore, the average number of females in 20 samples is 1.85.

(b)

To determine

To explain: Whether the club members should be doubtful about the discrimination if any of the five tickets does not received by women.

(b)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 13E

Solution: The club member should suspect the discrimination if any of the five tickets does not received by women.

Explanation of Solution

The event is going to be suspected if the chance of occurrence of that event is approximately 0.05 or less. In the provided scenario, there will be one case where the set of samples does not contain any female member. As the chance is very low, the club members can suspect about the discrimination if any of the five tickets does not received by women.

In order to find probability, you can use this formula in Microsoft Excel: The best way to understand and solve these problems is by first drawing a bell curve and marking key points such as x, the mean, and the areas of interest. Once marked on the bell curve, figure out what calculations are needed to find the area of interest. =NORM.DIST(x, Mean, Standard Dev., TRUE). When the question mentions “greater than” you may have to subtract your answer from 1. When the question mentions “between (two values)”, you need to do separate calculation for both values and then subtract their results to get the answer. 1.  Compute the probability of a value between 44.0 and 55.0. (The question requires finding probability value between 44 and 55. Solve it in 3 steps. In the first step, use the above formula and x = 44, calculate probability value. In the second step repeat the first step with the only difference that x=55. In the third step, subtract the answer of the first part from the…
