Having used people-counting devices at the entry to shopping centre, it is known that the average number of shoppers visiting this centre during any one-hour period is 448 shoppers, with a standard deviation of 21 shoppers. What is the probability that a random sample of 49 different one-hour shopping periods will yield a sample mean between 441 and 446 shoppers?

Expert Solution

Solution :

Given that ,

mean =   = 448

standard deviation = = 21   

n = 49

= 448

=  / n= 21 / 49=3

P(441<     <446 ) = P[(441-448) /3 < ( - ) /   < (446-448) / 3)]

= P(-2.33 < Z <-0.67 )

= P(Z < -0.67) - P(Z <-2.33 )

Using z table

=0.2514-0.0099

=0.2415

probability=0.2415

Question) It is known that, on average, 2 people in 5 in a certain country are overweight. A random sample of 400 people is chosen. Using a suitable approximation, find the probability that fewer than 165 people in the sample are overweight. It is based on using normal distribution as an approximation for the binomial distribution.

Many people think that quantum physics is used only in the laboratory. In fact, many devices that depend on quantum physics for their operation are used in business, industry, and our everyday lives. Give examples of four such uses, and for each one, describe how quantum physics is essential for its operation. Try to pick four devices that appear, to the non-physics student, to be as different from each other as possible.
