It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.

Expected Value

When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …

Probability Distributions

Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…

Basic Probability

The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the prob…

Chapter 6.2, Problem 25P

Business Ethics: Privacy According to the same poll quoted in Problem 24, 53% of adults are concerned that Social Security numbers are used for general identification. For a group of eight adults selected at random, we used Minitab to generate the binomial probability distribution and the cumulative binomial probability distribution (menu selections ► Calc ► Probability Distributions ► Binomial).

Find the probability that out of eight adults selected at random.

(a) at most five are concerned about Social Security numbers being used for identification. Do the problem by adding the probabilities P ( r = 0 ) through P ( r = 5 ) . Is this the same as the cumulative probability P ( r ≤ 5 ) ?

(b) more than five are concerned about Social Security numbers being used for identification. First, do the problem by adding the probabilities P ( r = 6 ) through P ( r = 8 ) . Then do the problem by subtracting the cumulative probability P ( r ≤ 5 ) from 1. Do you get the same results?

(a) Test the hypothesis. Consider the hypothesis test Ho = : against H₁o < 02. Suppose that the sample sizes aren₁ = 7 and n₂ = 13 and that $² = 22.4 and $22 = 28.2. Use α = 0.05. Ho is not ✓ rejected. 9-9 IV (b) Find a 95% confidence interval on of 102. Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76).

Let us suppose we have some article reported on a study of potential sources of injury to equine veterinarians conducted at a university veterinary hospital. Forces on the hand were measured for several common activities that veterinarians engage in when examining or treating horses. We will consider the forces on the hands for two tasks, lifting and using ultrasound. Assume that both sample sizes are 6, the sample mean force for lifting was 6.2 pounds with standard deviation 1.5 pounds, and the sample mean force for using ultrasound was 6.4 pounds with standard deviation 0.3 pounds. Assume that the standard deviations are known. Suppose that you wanted to detect a true difference in mean force of 0.25 pounds on the hands for these two activities. Under the null hypothesis, 40 = 0. What level of type II error would you recommend here? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654). Use a = 0.05. β = i What sample size would be required? Assume the sample sizes are to be equal.…
