Let us suppose that a certain probability instructor manages, with probability 1, to write exams that have mean 60 and standard deviation 12. The instructor is teaching two classes, one of size 64 and the other of size 36, and is about to give an exam to both classes.

(a) Approximate the probability that the average test score in the class of size 64 exceeds 65.
Probability ≈≈

(b) Repeat part (a) for the class of size 36.
Probability ≈≈

(c) Approximate the probability that the average test score in the larger class exceeds that of the other by more than 2 points.
Probability ≈≈

(d) Approximate the probability that the average test score in the smaller class exceeds that in the other by more than 2 points.
Probability ≈

Expert Solution

a. Probability that average test score in the larger class exceeds 65 is 0.0004

b. Probability that average test score in the class of size 36 exceeds 65 is 0.0062

c. Probability that the average test score in the larger class exceeds that of the other by more than 2 points is 0.2119

d. Probability that the average test score in the smaller class exceeds that in other by more than 2 points is 0.2119

Suppose that the probability that a certain experiment will be successful is 0.4, and let X denote the denote the number of successes that are obtained in 15 independent performances of the experiment. What is the probability of getting at least 12 successes experiments? What is the expected value and variance for the described distribution?

Let us suppose that some article studied the probability of death due to burn injuries. The identified risk factors in this study are age greater than 60 years, burn injury in more than 40% of body-surface area, and presence of inhalation injury. It is estimated that the probability of death is 0.003, 0.03, 0.33, or 0.84, if the injured person has zero, one, two, or three risk factors, respectively. Suppose that three people are injured in a fire and treated...

Let us suppose that some article investigated the probability of corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete structures. It is estimated that the probability of corrosion is 0.19 under specific values of half-cell potential and concrete resistivity. The risk of corrosion in five independent grids of a building with these values of half-cell potential and concrete resistivity. Let the random variable X denote number of grids with corrosion in this building. Determine the cumulative distribution function for the random variable X....

A couple is planning to have a family. Let us assume that the probability of having a girl is 0.48 and a boy is 0.52, and that the gender of this couple’s children are pairwise independent. They want to have at least one girl and at least one boy. At the same time, they know that raising too many kids is difficult. So here’s what they plan to do: they’ll keep trying to have children until they have at least...

Researchers are interested in the mean age of a certain population. Let us say that they are asking the following questions: can we conclude that the mean age of this population is different from 30 years? If the sample mean of 10 individuals drawn from that population is 27and the population variance is 20. Make a confidence interval of the mean A. 1.96 , -1.96 B. 24.23 ,29.20 C. 24.23 , 29.77 D. 2.77 , -2.77

Part 1 The probability of observing a certain event is 0.2. Suppose we make repeated observations until we have observed the desired event three times. What is the probability that we make five observations in order to have observed the desired event three times.? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) Part 2 A probability of failure on any given trial is given as 0.01. Use the Poisson approximation to the binomial to find the (approximate) probability of at least...

Show all work please. 1. Certain standardized math exams have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 60. Of a sample of 36 students who take this exam, what percent could you expect to score between 70 and 110? A) 84 B) 81.5 C) 83.85 D) 85 2. Certain standardized math exams had a mean of 120 and a standard deviation of 20. Of students who take this exam, what percent could you expect to score between 60...

Let (Ω, F , P) be a probability space. Suppose that Ω is the collection of all possible outcomes of a single iteration of a certain experiment. Also suppose that, for each C ∈ F, the probability that the outcome of this experiment is contained in C is P(C). Consider events A, B ∈ F with P(A) + P(B) > 0. Suppose that the experiment is iterated indefinitely, with each iteration identical and independent of all the other iterations, until...
