It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency o…

Z-Scores

A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow compar…

Chapter 4, Problem 3E

The Scotia Metropolitan Area Rapid Transit Service (SMARTS) operates six bus routes (A, B, C, D, E, and F) and 125 buses. The number of buses apportioned to each route is based on the number of passengers riding that route. Table 4-23 shows the daily average ridership on each route.

Table 4-23

Route	A	B	C	D	E	F
Ridership	45,300	31,070	20,490	14,160	10,260	8,720

ball is drawn from one of three urns depending on the outcomeof a roll of a dice. If the dice shows a 1, a ball is drawn from Urn I, whichcontains 2 black balls and 3 white balls. If the dice shows a 2 or 3, a ballis drawn from Urn II, which contains 1 black ball and 3 white balls. Ifthe dice shows a 4, 5, or 6, a ball is drawn from Urn III, which contains1 black ball and 2 white balls. (i) What is the probability to draw a black ball? [7 Marks]Hint. Use the partition rule.(ii) Assume that a black ball is drawn. What is the probabilitythat it came from Urn I? [4 Marks]Total marks 11 Hint. Use Bayes’ rule
