Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the fair coin Prob(head) = 1/2 and Prob(Tail) = 1/2.

For the biased coin it is   Prob(head) = 2/3 and Prob(Tail) = 1/3.

a) Prob(2 heads) = 1/2 * 2/3 = 1/3.

b) Prob(2 tails) = 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6.

c) Prob(1 head ) = Prob(H T or T H) = 1/2 * 1/3  + 1/2 * 2/3) = 1/6+1/3 = 1/2.

d) Prob (at least one head) = prob (HH or TH or HT) =  1/3 + 1/2 =<em> </em>5/6.

A family has two cats named Gordo and Flaco. Gordo weighs 15 pounds and Flaco weighs 8 pounds. A cat’s weight is classified as u
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Gordo's weight = 15 pounds

It is outside the healthy weight range and is in the top 5% of weights of cats.

Gordo's weight makes Gordo unhealthy.

Step-by-step explanation:

μ = mean weight = 9.5 pounds

σ = standard deviation = 1.5 pounds

This is a normal distribution problem

We first calculate the limit of the bottom 5% of weights

Let the z-score for this limit be z'

P(z < z') = 0.05

From the normal distribution table,

z' = -1.645

And the limit for the top 5% which is z" = 1.645.

The weight that corresponds to these scores are then calculated.

Standardized scores are given as

z = (x - μ)/σ

So,

z' = (limit for the bottom 5% - μ)/σ

-1.645 = (limit for the bottom 5% - 9.5)/1.5

limit of the bottom 5% = (-1.645)(1.5) + 9.5 = 7.033 pounds

z" = ( (limit for the top 5% - μ)/σ

1.645 = (limit for the top 5% - 9.5)/1.5

limit of the bottom 5% = (1.645)(1.5) + 9.5 = 11.968 pounds

Therefore the healthy weight range for cats is (7.033 < x < 9.968)

Gordo's weight = 15 pounds

It is outside the healthy weight range and is in the top 5% of weights of cats.

Gordo's weight makes the cat unhealthy.

Flaco's weight = 8 pounds

Flaco's weight lies in the healthy weight range for cats. Hence, Flaco is a healthy cat.
