Answer:

(a) P(X = 18) = 0.25

(b) P(X > 18) = 0.53

(c) P(X ≤ 18) = 0.47

(d) Mean = 19.76

(e) Variance = 22.2824

(f) Standard deviation = 4.7204

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that discrete random variable X has the following probability distribution:

            X                    P (x)             X * P(x)            X^{2}             X^{2} * P(x)

           13                    0.22              2.86              169              37.18

           18                    0.25              4.5                324               81

           20                   0.20               4                  400               80

           24                    0.17              4.08              576              97.92

           27                    0.16              4.32              729             116.64

(a) P ( X = 18) = P(x) corresponding to X = 18 i.e. 0.25

     Therefore, P(X = 18) = 0.25

(b) P(X > 18) = 1 - P(X = 18) - P(X = 13) = 1 - 0.25 - 0.22 = 0.53

(c) P(X <= 18) = P(X = 13) + P(X = 18) = 0.22 + 0.25 = 0.47

(d) Mean of X, \mu = ∑X * P(x) ÷ ∑P(x) = (2.86 + 4.5 + 4 + 4.08 + 4.32) ÷ 1

                                                         = 19.76

(e) Variance of X, \sigma^{2} = ∑X^{2} * P(x) - (\sum X * P(x))^{2}

                                 = 412.74 - 19.76^{2} = 22.2824

(f) Standard deviation of X, \sigma = \sqrt{variance} = \sqrt{22.2824} = 4.7204 .

The null and alternative hypotheses are given. Determine whether the hypothesis test is​ left-tailed, right-tailed, or​ two-tail
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:    Two-tailed test.

Population mean is the parameter which is tested.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :   H_0: \mu=105

H_1:\mu\neq105

We know that , the alternative hypothesis (H_1) indicates kind of the hypothesis test we need to perform whether ​left-tailed, right-tailed, or​ two-tailed.

Here, the alternative hypothesis (H_1) is two-tailed, so the hypothesis test is a two-tailed test.

Also, the parameter present in the hypothesis is \mu which is a symbol to represent the population mean.

Thus , Population mean is the parameter which is tested.
