An environmentalist wants to find out the fraction of oil tankers that have spills each month.
1 answer:
Answer:
The estimate of the proportion of oil tankers that had spills is 0.25.
Step-by-step explanation:
Proportion of oil tankers that had spills:
1036 tankers.
777 did not have spills.
So 1036 - 777 = 259 had spills.
The proportion is:
The estimate of the proportion of oil tankers that had spills is 0.25.

Answer:
(a) 0.5899
(b) 0.9166
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X be the random variable that represents the height of a woman. Then, X is normally distributed with
= 62.5 in
= 2.2 in
the normal probability density function is given by
, then
(a) = 0.5899
(in the R statistical programming language) pnorm(63, mean = 62.5, sd = 2.2)
(b) We are seeking where n = 37.
is normally distributed with mean 62.5 in and standard deviation
. So, the probability density function is given by
, and
= 0.9166
(in the R statistical programming language) pnorm(63, mean = 62.5, sd = 2.2/sqrt(37))
You can use a table from a book to find the probabilities or a programming language like the R statistical programming language.
