yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

a) 0.5588

b) 0.9984

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 24

Standard Deviation, σ = 6.4

We are given that the distribution of score is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}        

a) P(score between 20 and 30)

P(20 \leq x \leq 30) = P(\displaystyle\frac{20 - 24}{6.4} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{30-24}{6.4}) = P(-0.62 \leq z \leq 0.94)\\\\= P(z \leq 0.94) - P(z < -0.62)\\= 0.8264 - 0.2676 = 0.5588 = 55.88\%

P(20 \leq x \leq 30) = 55.88\%

b) Sampling distribution

Sample size, n = 22

The sample will follow a normal distribution with mean 24 and standard deviation,

s = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{6.4}{\sqrt{22}} =1.36

c) P(mean score of sample is between 20 and 30)

P(20 \leq x \leq 30) = P(\displaystyle\frac{20 - 24}{1.36} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{30-24}{1.36}) = P(-2.94 \leq z \leq 4.41)\\\\= P(z \leq 4.41) - P(z < -2.94)\\= 1 - 0.0016 = 0.9984 = 99.84\%

P(20 \leq x \leq 30) =99.84\%

Isle Royale, an island in Lake Superior, has provided an important study site of wolves and their prey. Of special interest is t
STatiana [176]

Answer:

<em>Part a) Probability that a moose in that age group is killed by a wolf</em>

  • P  (0.5 year) = 0.361
  • P (1 - 5) = 0.159
  • P (6 - 10) = 0.267
  • P (11 - 15) = 0.203
  • P (16 - 20) = 0.010

<em>Part b)</em>

  • <em>Expected age of a moose killed by a wold</em>

         μ = 5.61 years

  • <em>Stantard deviation of the ages</em>

       σ = 4.97 years

Explanation:

1) Start by arranging the table to interpret the information:

<u>Age of Moose in years          Number killed by woolves</u>

Calf (0.5)                                                 107

1 - 5                                                           47

6 - 10                                                         79

11 - 15                                                        60

16 - 20                                                        3

You can  now verify the total number of moose deaths identified as wolf kills: 107 + 47 + 79 + 60 + 3 = 296, such as stated in the first part of the question.

2) <u>First question: </u>a) For each age, group, compute the probability that a moos in that age group is killed by a wolf.

i) Formula:

Probability = number of positive outcomes / total number of events.

ii) Probability that a moose in an age group is killed by a wolf = number of moose killed by a wolf in that age group / total number of moose deaths identified as wolf kills.

iii) P  (0.5 year) = 107 / 296 = 0.361

iv) P (1 - 5) = 47 / 296 = 0.159

v) P (6 - 10) = 79 / 296 = 0.267

vi) P (11 - 15) = 60 / 296 = 0.203

vii) P (16 - 20) = 3 / 296 = 0.010

3) <u>Second question:</u> b) Consider all ages in a class equal to the class midpoint. Find the expected age of a moose killed by a wolf and the standard deviation of the ages.

i) Class       midpoint

   0.5               0.5

   1 - 5           (1 + 5) / 2 = 3

   6 - 10         (6 + 10) / 2 = 8

   11 - 15         (11 + 15) / 2 = 13

   16 - 20       (16 + 20) = 18

ii) Expected age of a moose killed by a wolf = mean of the distribution = μ

μ = Sum of the products of each probability times its age (mid point)

μ = 0.5 ( 0.361) + 3 ( 0.159) + 8 ( 0.267) + 13 ( 0.203) + 18 ( 0.010) = 5.61 years

μ = 5.61 years ← answer

iii) Stantard deviation of the ages = σ

σ = square root of the variace

variance = s = sum of the products of the squares of the differences between the mean and the class midpoint time the probability.

s =  (0.5 - 5.61)² (0.361) + (3 - 5.61)² ( 0.159) + (8  - 5.61)² ( 0.267) + (13 - 5.61)² ( 0.203) + (18 - 5.61)² ( 0.010) = 24.65

σ = √ (24.65) = 4.97 years ← answer
