Excel File: data05-19.xls x 10 f(x) .05 20 30 .10 .10 40 .20 50 60 .35 .20 a. Is this probability distribution valid? - Select your answer- Explain. f(x) Σf(x) Select your answer Select your answer b. What is the probability MCC will obtain more than 30 new clients (to 2 decimals)? c. What is the probability MCC will obtain fewer than 20 new clients (to 2 decimals)? d. Compute the expected value and variance of x. Expected value Variance clients per year squared clients per yeararrow_forward
- For unemployed persons in the United States, the average number of months of unemployment at the end of December 2009 was approximately seven months (Bureau of Labor Statistics, January 2010). Suppose the following data are for a particular region in upstate New York. The values in the first column show the number of months unemployed and the values in the second column show the corresponding number of unemployed persons. Months Unemployed Number Unemployed 1 1029 2 1686 3 2269 4 2675 5 3487 6 4652 7 4145 8 3587 9 2325 10 1120 Let x be a random variable indicating the number of months a person is unemployed. a. Use the data to develop an empirical discrete probability distribution for x (to 4 decimals). (x) f(x) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 b. Show that your probability distribution satisfies the conditions for a valid discrete probability distribution. The input in the box below will not be graded, but may be reviewed and considered by your instructor. c.

One of the questions was "How many cups of coffee, if any, do you drink on an average day?" The following table shows the results obtained (Gallup website, August 6, 2012). Excel File: data05-23.xls Number of Cups per Day Number of Responses 0 365 264 193 3 4 or more 91 101 Define a random variable x = number of cups of coffee consumed on an average day.
