Chapter 4.4, Problem 35E
To better understand how husbands and wives feel about their finances, Money Magazine conducted a national poll of 1010 married adults age 25 and older with household incomes of $50,000 or more (Money Magazine website, December 14, 2014). Consider the following example set of responses to the question, “Who is better at getting deals?”
- a. Develop a joint
probability table and use it to answer the following questions. - b. Construct the marginal probabilities for Who Is better (I Am, My Spouse, We Are Equal). Comment.
- c. Given that the respondent is a husband, what is the probability that he feels he is better at getting deals than his wife?
- d. Given that the respondent is a wife, what is the probability that she feels she is better at getting deals than her husband?
- e. Given a response “My spouse” is better at getting deals, what is the probability that the response came from a husband?
- f. Given a response “We are equal,” what is the probability that the response came from a husband? What is the probability that the response came from a wife?

x= 3, n=5, p = 0.3
x = 4, n=7, p = 0.6
Quality Control: A factory produces light bulbs with a 2% defect rate. If a random sample of 20 bulbs is tested, what is the probability that exactly 2 bulbs are defective? (hint: p=2% or 0.02; x =2, n=20; use the same logic for the following problems)
Marketing Campaign: A marketing company sends out 1,000 promotional emails. The probability of any email being opened is 0.15. What is the probability that exactly 150 emails will be opened? (hint: total emails or n=1000, x =150)
Customer Satisfaction: A survey shows that 70% of customers are satisfied with a new product. Out of 10 randomly selected customers, what is the probability that at least 8 are satisfied? (hint: One of the keyword in this question is “at least 8”, it is not “exactly 8”, the correct formula for this should be = 1- (binom.dist(7, 10, 0.7, TRUE)).

- According to an economist from a financial company, the average expenditures on "furniture and household appliances" have been lower for households in the Montreal area than those in the Quebec region. A random sample of 14 households from the Montreal region and 16 households from the Quebec region was taken, providing the following data regarding expenditures in this economic sector. It is assumed that the data from each population are distributed normally. We are interested in knowing if the variances of the populations are equal. a) Perform the appropriate hypothesis test on two variances at a significance level of 1%.

- 7. In a 2011 article, M. Radelet and G. Pierce reported a logistic prediction equation for the death penalty verdicts in North Carolina. Let Y denote whether a subject convicted of murder received the death penalty (1=yes), for the defendant's race h (h1, black; h = 2, white), victim's race i (i = 1, black; i = 2, white), and number of additional factors j (j = 0, 1, 2). For the model logit[P(Y = 1)] = a + ß₁₂ + By + B²², they reported = -5.26, D â BD = 0, BD = 0.17, BY = 0, BY = 0.91, B = 0, B = 2.02, B = 3.98.
