Appendix A Statistical Tables a. Suppose 40 manufacturing workers are selected randomly from across Switzerland and asked what their hourly wage is. What is the probability that the sample average will be between $30.00 and $31.00? b. Suppose 32 manufacturing workers are selected randomly from across Japan. What is the probability that the sample average will exceed $21.00? c. Suppose 47 manufacturing workers are selected randomly from across the United States.

Answer:

(a) The probability that the sample average will be between $30.00 and $31.00 is 0.5539.

(b) The probability that the sample average will exceed $21.00 is 0.12924.

(c) The probability that the sample average will be less than $22.80 is 0.04006.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the hourly wage was $30.67 for Switzerland, $20.20 for Japan, and $23.82 for the U.S.

Assume that in all three countries, the standard deviation of hourly labor rates is $4.00.

(a) Suppose 40 manufacturing workers are selected randomly from across Switzerland.

Let \bar X = <u>sample average wage</u>

The z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

                                Z  =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean wage for Switzerland = $30.67

            \sigma = standard deviation = $4.00

            n = sample of workers selected from across Switzerland = 40

Now, the probability that the sample average will be between $30.00 and $31.00 is given by = P($30.00 < \bar X < $31.00)

        P($30.00 < \bar X < $31.00) = P(\bar X < $31.00) - P(\bar X \leq $30.00)

        P(\bar X < $31) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \frac{31-30.67}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{40} } } ) = P(Z < 0.52) = 0.69847

        P(\bar X \leq $30) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } \leq \frac{30-30.67}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{40} } } ) = P(Z \leq -1.06) = 1 - P(Z < 1.06)

                                                             = 1 - 0.85543 = 0.14457

<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.52 and x = 1.06 in the z table which has an area of 0.69847 and 0.85543 respectively.</em>

Therefore, P($30.00 < \bar X < $31.00) = 0.69847 - 0.14457 = <u>0.5539</u>

<u></u>

(b) Suppose 32 manufacturing workers are selected randomly from across Japan.

Let \bar X = <u>sample average wage</u>

The z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

                                Z  =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean wage for Japan = $20.20

            \sigma = standard deviation = $4.00

            n = sample of workers selected from across Japan = 32

Now, the probability that the sample average will exceed $21.00 is given by = P(\bar X > $21.00)

        P(\bar X > $21) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } > \frac{21-20.20}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{32} } } ) = P(Z > 1.13) = 1 - P(Z < 1.13)

                                                          = 1 - 0.87076 = <u>0.12924</u>

<em />

<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.13 in the z table which has an area of 0.87076.</em>

<em />

(c) Suppose 47 manufacturing workers are selected randomly from across United States.

Let \bar X = <u>sample average wage</u>

The z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

                                Z  =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean wage for United States = $23.82

            \sigma = standard deviation = $4.00

            n = sample of workers selected from across United States = 47

Now, the probability that the sample average will be less than $22.80 is given by = P(\bar X < $22.80)

  P(\bar X < $22.80) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \frac{22.80-23.82}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{47} } } ) = P(Z < -1.75) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.75)

                                                               = 1 - 0.95994 = <u>0.04006</u>

<em />

<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.75 in the z table which has an area of 0.95994.</em>

A rectangular mat has a length of 12 in. and a width of 4 in. Drawn on the mat are three circles. Each circle has a radius of 2
AVprozaik [17]
Area of the rectangular mat = 12 x 4 = 48 in²

Area of the 3 circles = 3( πr²) = 3(3.14 x 2²) = 37.68 in²

P(landing in a circle) = 37.68/48 = 157/200 = 0.79 (nearest hundredth)

Answer: The probability of landing in one of the circles is 0.79.

Suppose that X has a discrete uniform distribution on the integers 0 through 9. Determine the mean, variance, and standard devia
Anna35 [415]
With 10 integers available, X has PMF

\mathbb P(X=x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac1{10}&\text{for }0\le x\le9,x\in\mathbb Z\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

We're interested in the statistics of the new random variable Y=5X. To do this, we need to know the PMF for Y. This isn't too hard to find.

\mathbb P(Y=y)=\mathbb P(5X=y)=\mathbb P\left(X=\dfrac y5\right)

Since the PMF for X gives a value of \dfrac1{10} whenever x is an integer between 0 and 9, it follows that \dfrac y5 must also be an integer for the PMF to give the identical value of \dfrac1{10}. This means

\mathbb P(Y=y)=\begin{cases}\dfrac1{10}&\text{for }y\in\{0,5,\ldots,45\}\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

Now the mean (expectation) is

\mathbb E(Y)=\displaystyle\sum_yy\mathbb P(Y=y)=\frac1{10}\sum_{y\in\{0,\ldots,45\}}y
\mathbb E(Y)=\dfrac{225}{10}=22.5

The variance would be

\mathbb V(X)=\mathbb E(X^2)-\mathbb E(X)^2
\mathbb V(X)=\displaystyle\sum_yy^2\mathbb P(Y=y)-\mathbb E(Y)^2
\mathbb V(X)=\displaystyle\frac1{10}\sum_{y\in\{0,\ldots,45\}}y^2-\left(\frac{225}{10}\right)^2
\mathbb V(X)=\dfrac{7125}{10}-\dfrac{50625}{100}=206.25

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, so you have

\sqrt{\mathbb V(X)}=\sqrt{206.25}\approx14.3614
