Chapter 6.2, Problem 45AYU
Toilet Flushing In the Healthy Handwashing Survey conducted by Bradley Corporation, it was found that 64% of adult Americans operate the flusher of toilets in public restrooms with their foot.
- a. If 500 adult Americans are randomly selected, how many would we expect to flush toilets in public restrooms with their foot?
- b. Would it be unusual to observe 280 adult Americans who flush toilets in public restrooms with their foot?

5. Let X and Y be independent random variables and let the superscripts denote
symmetrization (recall Sect. 3.6). Show that
(X + Y) X+ys.
8. Suppose that the moments of the random variable X are constant, that is, suppose
that EX" =c for all n ≥ 1, for some constant c. Find the distribution of X.
9. The concentration function of a random variable X is defined as
Qx(h) = sup P(x ≤ X ≤x+h), h>0.
Show that, if X and Y are independent random variables, then
Qx+y (h) min{Qx(h). Qr (h)).
