Question
Chapter R, Problem 5.16RE
a.
To determine
Check whether it is reasonable to use the normal model to describe the possible distribution of the proportion of the group that has left brain language control.
b.
To determine
Compute the probability that our group has at least 75% left brainers.
c.
To determine
Explain without calculating the probability would the probability be higher lower or about the same, if the group consisted of 100 people.
d.
To determine
Explain how large a group would almost guarantee at least 75% left brainers.

30. An individual who has automobile insurance from a certain company is randomly selected. Let Y be the num- ber of moving violations for which the individual was cited during the last 3 years. The pmf of Y isy | 1 2 4 8 16p(y) | .05 .10 .35 .40 .10
a.Compute E(Y).b. Suppose an individual with Y violations incurs a surcharge of $100Y^2. Calculate the expected amount of the surcharge.
24. An insurance company offers its policyholders a num- ber of different premium payment options. For a ran- domly selected policyholder, let X = the number of months between successive payments. The cdf of X is as follows:
F(x)=0.00 : x < 10.30 : 1≤x<30.40 : 3≤ x < 40.45 : 4≤ x <60.60 : 6≤ x < 121.00 : 12≤ x
a. What is the pmf of X?b. Using just the cdf, compute P(3≤ X ≤6) and P(4≤ X).
