The probability is 1/4
This is because:
Probability of first tails = 1/2
Probability of second tails = 1/2
Probability of first AND second tails = 1/2 * 1/2
= 1/4
This is also visible in the set of outcomes

Answer: 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A fair coin is tossed twice in succession.

The set of equally likely outcomes is {HH, HT, TH, TT}.

i.e. The total number of outcomes = 4

In order to get exactly two tails , the total number of favorable outcomes = 1  (TT)

We know that , \text{Probability }=\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}

Then, the probability of getting exactly two tails = \dfrac{1}{4}=0.25

Hence, the required probability = 0.25

A company surveyed 2400 men where 1248 of the men identified themselves as the primary grocery shopper in their household. ​a) E
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

a) With a confidence level of 98%, the percentage of all males who identify themselves as the primary grocery shopper are between 0.4962 and 0.5438.

b) The lower limit of the confidence interval is higher that 0.43, so if he conduct a hypothesis test, he will find that the data shows evidence to said that the fraction is higher than 43%.

c) \alpha =1-0.98=0.02

Step-by-step explanation:

If np' and n(1-p') are higher than 5, a confidence interval for the proportion is calculated as:

p'-z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }\leq  p\leq p'+z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }

Where p' is the proportion of the sample, n is the size of the sample, p is the proportion of the population and z_{\alpha/2} is the z-value that let a probability of \alpha/2 on the right tail.

Then, a 98% confidence interval for the percentage of all males who identify themselves as the primary grocery shopper can be calculated replacing p' by 0.52, n by 2400, \alpha by 0.02 and z_{\alpha/2} by 2.33

Where p' and \alpha are calculated as:

p' = \frac{1248}{2400}=0.52\\\alpha =1-0.98=0.02

So, replacing the values we get:

0.52-2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{2400} }\leq  p\leq 0.52+2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{2400} }\\0.52-0.0238\leq p\leq 0.52+0.0238\\0.4962\leq p\leq 0.5438

With a confidence level of 98%, the percentage of all males who identify themselves as the primary grocery shopper are between 0.4962 and 0.5438.

The lower limit of the confidence interval is higher that 0.43, so if he conduct a hypothesis test, he will find that the data shows evidence to said that the fraction is higher than 43%.

Finally, the level of significance is the probability to reject the null hypothesis given that the null hypothesis is true. It is also the complement of the level of confidence. So, if we create a 98% confidence interval, the level of confidence 1-\alpha is equal to 98%

It means the the level of significance \alpha is:

\alpha =1-0.98=0.02
