United Blood Services is a blood bank that serves more than 500 hospitals in 18 states. According to their website, a person wit

h type O blood and a negative Rh factor (Rh-) can donate blood to any person with any bloodtype. Their data show that 43% of people have type O blood and 15% of people have Rh- factor; 52% of people have type O or Rh- factor.
a. Find the probability that a person has both type O blood and the Rh- factor.
b. Find the probability that a person does NOT have both type O blood and the Rh- factor.

Answer:

a) 0.06 = 6% probability that a person has both type O blood and the Rh- factor.

b) 0.94 = 94% probability that a person does NOT have both type O blood and the Rh- factor.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to solve this question treating these events as Venn probabilities.

I am going to say that:

Event A: Person has type A blood.

Event B: Person has Rh- factor.

43% of people have type O blood

This means that P(A) = 0.43

15% of people have Rh- factor

This means that P(B) = 0.15

52% of people have type O or Rh- factor.

This means that P(A \cup B) = 0.52

a. Find the probability that a person has both type O blood and the Rh- factor.

This is

P(A \cap B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cup B)

With what we have

P(A \cap B) = 0.43 + 0.15 - 0.52 = 0.06

0.06 = 6% probability that a person has both type O blood and the Rh- factor.

b. Find the probability that a person does NOT have both type O blood and the Rh- factor.

1 - 0.06 = 0.94

0.94 = 94% probability that a person does NOT have both type O blood and the Rh- factor.

A random sample of n = 45 observations from a quantitative population produced a mean x = 2.5 and a standard deviation s = 0.26.
oee [108]

Answer:

P-value (t=2.58) = 0.0066.

Note: as we are using the sample standard deviation, a t-statistic is appropiate instead os a z-statistic.

As the P-value (0.0066) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is  significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the population mean μ exceeds 2.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the population mean μ exceeds 2.4.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=2.4\\\\H_a:\mu> 2.4

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=45.

The sample mean is M=2.5.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=0.26.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{0.26}{\sqrt{45}}=0.0388

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{2.5-2.4}{0.0388}=\dfrac{0.1}{0.0388}=2.58

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=45-1=44

This test is a right-tailed test, with 44 degrees of freedom and t=2.58, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

P-value=P(t>2.5801)=0.0066

As the P-value (0.0066) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is  significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the population mean μ exceeds 2.4.

A.) For the Junior Varsity Team, mean would be the appropriate measure of center since the data is <span>symmetric or well-proportioned while we should use standard deviation for getting the measure of spread since it also measures the center and how far the values are from the mean.

b.) For the Varsity Team, the median would be the appropriate measure of the center since the data is skewed left and not evenly distributed so median could be used since it does not account for outliers while we use IQR or interquartile range in measuring the spread of data since IQR does not account for the data that is skewed. </span>
