Consider the probability distribution of x, where x is the number of job applications completed by a college senior through the
school's career center. x 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 p(x) 0.002 0.011 0.115 0.123 0.144 0.189 0.238 0.178 we collect a random sample of 1000 college seniors who complete job applications through the career center. based on the probability distribution, which result would be surprising?
The expected number out of 1000 selected college seniors that completed 1 job application through the career
centers is given by 0.011 x 1000 = 11 which is close to 14.
The expected number out of 1000 selected college seniors that completed 2 job application through the career
centers is given by 0.115 x 1000 = 115 which is far away from 15.
The expected number out of 1000 selected college seniors that completed 3 job application through the career
centers is given by 0.123 x 1000 = 123 which is close to 130.
Therefore, the result that would be suprising is "15 seniors completed 2 job applications through the career
center."
A would be the correct answer because he is up in elevation so that makes the 1200 positive and he goes down 20.4 which is negative and is goes that far down!!
