Suppose that the probability density function for the length x in feet of some type of fish caught by sport fishermen is given b

y p(x)=14 if 0≤x≤4, and is zero otherwise. What is the probability that a fish caught by a fisherman is between 0.25 and 2 feet long? 1/4 is less than 0.25 feet long?

Answer:

The probability that a fish caught by a fisherman is between 0.25 feet and 2 feet long is 0.4375.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability density function or p.d.f. for the length <em>x,</em> in feet, of some type of fish caught by sport fishermen is :

p(x) = \left \{{{(\frac{1}{4})\ ;\  0\leq x\leq 4 } \atop{0\ ;\ otherwise} \right.

The probability that a fish caught by a fisherman is between 0.25 feet and 2 feet long is:

P(0.25\leq X\leq 2)=\int\limits^{0.25}_{2} {(\frac{1}{4})} \, dx \\=|(\frac{1}{4})x|^{2}_{0.25}\\=(\frac{1}{4})(2-0.25)\\=0.4375

Thus, the probability that a fish caught by a fisherman is between 0.25 feet and 2 feet long is 0.4375.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

The point estimate for p is 0.86.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a marketing survey, a random sample of 730 women shoppers revealed that 628 remained loyal to their favorite supermarket during the past year (i.e. did not switch stores).

Let p = <u><em>proportion of all women shoppers who remain loyal to their favorite supermarket</em></u>

Now, the point estimate for the population proportion (p) is represented by ;

      Point estimate for p =  \hat p  =  \frac{X}{n}

where, X = Number of women shoppers who remained loyal to their favorite supermarket during the past year = 628

            n = sample of women shoppers = 730

So, <u>point estimate for p</u> (\hat p)  =  \frac{X}{n}  

                                             =  \frac{628}{730}  = <u>0.86</u>
