Chapter 3, Problem 4E

Mark, Tim, Maia, and Kelly are dividing among themselves a set of common assets equally owned by the four of them. The assets are divided into four shares ( s 1 , s 2 , s 3  and  s 4 ) . Table  3 15 _ shows the values of the shares to each player expressed as a percent of the total value of the assets.

T a b l e   3 1 5

s 1 s 2 s 3 s 4
Mark 20% 32% 28% 20%
Tim 25% 25% 25% 25%
Maia 15% 15% 30% 40%
Kelly 24% 26% 24% 26%

a. Which of the shares are fair shares to Mark?

b. Which of the shares are fair shares to Tim?

c. Which of the shares are fair shares to Maia?

d. Which of the shares are fair shares to Kelly?

e. Find all possible fair divisions of the assets using s 1 , s 2 , s 3 , and  s 4 as shares.

The average miles per gallon for a sample of 40 cars of model SX last year was 32.1, with a population standard deviation of 3.8. A sample of 40 cars from this year’s model SX has an average of 35.2 mpg, with a population standard deviation of 5.4. Find a 99 percent confidence interval for the difference in average mpg for this car brand (this year’s model minus last year’s).Find a 99 percent confidence interval for the difference in average mpg for last year’s model minus this year’s. What does the negative difference mean?
A special interest group reports a tiny margin of error (plus or minus 0.04 percent) for its online survey based on 50,000 responses. Is the margin of error legitimate? (Assume that the group’s math is correct.)
Suppose that 73 percent of a sample of 1,000 U.S. college students drive a used car as opposed to a new car or no car at all. Find an 80 percent confidence interval for the percentage of all U.S. college students who drive a used car.What sample size would cut this margin of error in half?
