Brian spins a fair spinner numbered 1 - 5 and flips a fair coin.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Greeley [361]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:  0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

If we spin a fair spinner numbered 1 - 5 and flips a fair coin.

Then, the possible outcomes will be :-

(1,T),(2,T), (3,T), (4,T), (5,T)\\\\(1,H),(2,H), (3,H), (4,H), (5,H)

i.e. total 10 possible outcomes.

The favorable outcomes = a 2 and a head  i.e. only 1 .

Now, the probability of obtaining a 2 and a head will be :_

\dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcome}}{\text{Total outcomes}}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{10}=0.1

Hence, the  probability of obtaining a 2 and a head = 0.1

Problem: The height, X, of all 3-year-old females is approximately normally distributed with mean 38.72
Lisa [10]

Answer:

0.1003 = 10.03% probability that a simple random sample of size n= 10 results in a sample mean greater than 40 inches.

Gestation periods:

1) 0.3539 = 35.39% probability a randomly selected pregnancy lasts less than 260 days.

2) 0.0465 = 4.65% probability that a random sample of 20 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less.

3) 0.004 = 0.4% probability that a random sample of 50 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less.

4) 0.9844 = 98.44% probability a random sample of size 15 will have a mean gestation period within 10 days of the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve these questions, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

The height, X, of all 3-year-old females is approximately normally distributed with mean 38.72 inches and standard deviation 3.17 inches.

This means that \mu = 38.72, \sigma = 3.17

Sample of 10:

This means that n = 10, s = \frac{3.17}{\sqrt{10}}

Compute the probability that a simple random sample of size n= 10 results in a sample mean greater than 40 inches.

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 40. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{40 - 38.72}{\frac{3.17}{\sqrt{10}}}

Z = 1.28

Z = 1.28 has a p-value of 0.8997

1 - 0.8997 = 0.1003

0.1003 = 10.03% probability that a simple random sample of size n= 10 results in a sample mean greater than 40 inches.

Gestation periods:

\mu = 266, \sigma = 16

1. What is the probability a randomly selected pregnancy lasts less than 260 days?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 260. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{260 -  266}{16}

Z = -0.375

Z = -0.375 has a p-value of 0.3539.

0.3539 = 35.39% probability a randomly selected pregnancy lasts less than 260 days.

2. What is the probability that a random sample of 20 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less?

Now n = 20, so:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{260 - 266}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{20}}}

Z = -1.68

Z = -1.68 has a p-value of 0.0465.

0.0465 = 4.65% probability that a random sample of 20 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less.

3. What is the probability that a random sample of 50 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less?

Now n = 50, so:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{260 - 266}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{50}}}

Z = -2.65

Z = -2.65 has a p-value of 0.0040.

0.004 = 0.4% probability that a random sample of 50 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less.

4. What is the probability a random sample of size 15 will have a mean gestation period within 10 days of the mean?

Sample of size 15 means that n = 15. This probability is the p-value of Z when X = 276 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 256.

X = 276

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{276 - 266}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{15}}}

Z = 2.42

Z = 2.42 has a p-value of 0.9922.

X = 256

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{256 - 266}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{15}}}

Z = -2.42

Z = -2.42 has a p-value of 0.0078.

0.9922 - 0.0078 = 0.9844

0.9844 = 98.44% probability a random sample of size 15 will have a mean gestation period within 10 days of the mean.
