In a survey of a group of men, the heights in the 20-29 age
group were normally distributed, with a mean of 69.7 inches and a
standard deviation of 2.0 inches. A study participant is randomly
selected. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.
(a) Find the probability that a study participant has a height
that is less than 65 inches.
The probability that the study participant selected at random is
less than 65 inches tall is
. 0094. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
(b) Find the probability that a study participant has a height
that is between 65 and 70 inches.
The probability that the study participant selected at random is
between 65 and 70 inches tall is
nothing. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
(c) Find the probability that a study participant has a height
that is more than 70 inches.
The probability that the study participant selected at random is
more than 70 inches tall is

5) A lumber grading system is known to be defective 20% of the time. When the machine works properly, 20% of the lumber that passes through is rejected, but 50% of the pieces are rejected when it is defective,. In either case, pieces that are accepted are graded this way:
20% #1 Grade
70% #2 Grade
10% #3 Grade
a. Draw a tree diagram outlining each possible outcome. Include all of the
relevant probabilities as well as the probability for each outcome.
b. What is the overall probability of accepting a piece of lumber?
c. What is the overall probability of getting a #2 Grade piece?
d. What is the probability of accepting a piece of lumber if you know that the machine is working properly?
e. What is the probability that a piece that was rejected came from a defective machine?
f. What is the probability that a piece that was rejected came from a working machine?

Hannah coaches a youth soccer team . Tomorrow night, they have a game. Suppose there is a 43% chance that her team will lose. Regardless of whether her team loses, Hannah figures there is a 58% chance that a parent will complain about something to her after the game. From previous seasons, Hannah knows that the probability that her team loses and a parent complains is 35%. (Hint: Organize and label the given information first before starting. Write out the probability statement for each question before calculating anything.)

Alex has two funds A and B. The annual return of fund A is denoted by X (in %) while the annual return of fund B is denoted by Y (in %) . Assume X ∼ U (−10, 20) and Y ∼ N (10, 50). Further, suppose the probability that both stocks A and B have positive annual returns is 0.6.
Find the probability that stock A has a negative return.
Find the probability that stock B has a positive return.
Find the probability that stock B has a positive return but stock A has a negative return.
Find the probability that stock A has a negative return, given that stock B has a positive return.
Find the probability that both stocks A and B have negative returns.
I would appreciate if the expert can write down some explanations for the more complicated steps so that I can understand how they derive that step. Thanks!

(a) What is the probability that a randomly selected pregnancy lasts less than 273 days? The probability that a randomly selected pregnancy lasts less than 273 days is approximately (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (b) What is the probability that a random sample of 11 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 273 days or less? The probability that the mean of a random sample of 11 pregnancies is less than 273 days is approximately (c) What is the probability that a random sample of 42 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 273 days or less? The probability that the mean of a random sample of 42 pregnancies is less than 273 days is approximately (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Assume you have applied for two scholarships, a Merit scholarship (M) and an Athletic scholarship (A). The probability that you receive an Athletic scholarship is 0.18. The probability of receiving both scholarships is 0.11. The probability of getting at least one of the scholarships is 0.3.
|
a. |
What is the probability that you will receive a Merit scholarship? Hint: P(M∪A) = P(M) + P(A) – P(M∩B) |
|
b. |
Are events A and M mutually exclusive? Why or why not? Explain. |
|
c. |
Are the two events A, and M, independent? Explain, using probabilities. |
|
d. |
What is the probability of receiving the Athletic scholarship given that you have been awarded the Merit scholarship? Hint: P(A|M) = P(A∩M)/P(M) |
|
e. |
What is the probability of receiving the Merit scholarship given that you have been awarded the Athletic scholarship? Hint: P(M|A) = P(M∩A)/P(A) |
