1.0

b)     7,917,940 x 80% = 6,334,352

c)      P(higher | not balding) = 410/1050 = 0.3905

d)     P(not bald and not higher) = 640/2150 = 0.2977

e)      P(not bald | not higher) = 640/860 = 0.7442

f)       P(bald or not higher) = (1100 + 860 – 220)/2150 = 1740/2150 = 0.8093

 

Question 2

a)      (income < 50K) = (240 + 554)/1000 = 794/1000 = 0.794

b)     P(female and income ³ 50K) = (342 + 114)/1000 = 456/1000 = 0.456

c)      P(male | income between 20K and 50K) = 212/554 = 0.3827

d)     P(income ³ 50K | male) = 92/400 = 0.23

P(income ³ 50K | female) = 114/600 = 0.19

Males are more likely

e)      P(I < 25K and male) = 96/1000 = 0.096

P(I < 25K)P(male) = (240/1000)(400/1000) = 0.096

Therefore, income under $25,000 does not depend on gender.

P(I ³ 50K and male) = 92/1000 = 0.092

P(I ³ 50K)P(male) = (206/1000)(400/1000) = 0.0824

Therefore, income of $50,000 or more depends on gender.

f)       None since each gender is represented in each income category.

 

Question 3

a)      P(5) = 0.103

b)     P(X £ 5) = 0.939

c)      P(X > 5) = 1 – 0.939 = 0.061

d)     P(3) + P(4) + P(5) + P(6) = 0.25 + 0.188 + 0.103 + 0.043 = 0.584

Or P(X £ 6) – P(X £ 2) = 0.982 – 0.398 = 0.584

e)      P(X £ 8) = 0.99

f)       m = 10(0.2) = 2; s = sqrt(2*0.8) = 1.2649

 


Question 4

a)      38C5 = 501,942

b)     33P3 = 32,736

c)      6 x 3 x 2 = 36

 

Question 5

a)      P(X < 5) = P(Z < -1) = 0.5 – 0.3413 = 0.1587

b)     P(X < 10) = P(Z < 1.5) = 0.5 + 0.4332 = 0.9332

c)      P(X < 6) + P(X > 9) = P(Z < -0.5) + P(Z > 1) = (0.5 – 0.1915) + 0.1587 = 0.4672

d)     P(4 < X < 11) = P(-1.5 < X < 2) = 0.4332 + 0.4772 = 0.9104

e)      –1.282 = (X – 7)/2; X = 7 – 1.282(2) = 4.436 seconds

f)       P(Xbar > 8) = P(Z > 2.96) = 0.5 – 0.4985 = 0.0015

g)      Lower limit = 7 – 2(2) = 3

Upper limit = 7 + 2(2) = 11

h)      1 – 1/(2.52) = 1 – 0.16 = 0.84

 

Question 6

a)      mean = 5; P(X > 3) = 1 – P(X £ 3) = 1 – 0.265 = 0.735

b)     mean = 5; P(3) + P(4) + P(5) + P(6) = 0.6376

c)      mean = 2.5; P(X < 3) = 0.5438

d)     mean = 7.5; P(0) = 0.0006

e)      standard deviation = sqrt(5) = 2.2361

 

Question 7

a)      Here is the comparison:

 

Cable

DSL

mean

13.375

11.0167

median

13.2

10.6

stdev

1.1802

0.9778

variance

1.393

0.9561

range

3.6

2.7

cv

8.82%

8.88%

b)     The DSL’s cv is higher than that of cable. Thus, it has the highest relative variability.

c)      Using DSL:

Q1 = (10.2 + 10.3)/2 = 10.25

Q3 = (11.7 + 12.1)/2 = 11.9

IQR = 11.9 – 10.25 = 1.65

d)     50% of Canadians using DSL spend between 10.25 and 11.9 hours per week online.

e)      Lower limit = 11.0167 – 2(0.9778) = 9.0611

Upper limit = 11.0167 + 2(0.9778) = 12.9723

100% of the values lie between these limits which exceeds the 75% threshold under Chebyshev’s theorem.

1.0

b)     7,917,940 x 90% = 7,126,146

c)      P(higher | not balding) = 73/105 = 0.6952

d)     P(not bald and not higher) = 32/215 = 0.1488

e)      P(not bald | not higher) = 32/43 = 0.7442

f)       P(bald or not higher) = (110 + 42 - 11)/215 = 142/215 = 0.6605

 

Question 2

a)      (income < 50K) = (220 + 611)/1000 = 831/1000 = 0.831

b)     P(female and income ³ 50K) = (434 + 112)/1000 = 546/1000 = 0.546

c)      P(male | income between 20K and 50K) = 177/611 = 0.2897

d)     P(income ³ 50K | male) = 57/300 = 0.19

P(income ³ 50K | female) = 112/700 = 0.16

Males are more likely

e)      P(I < 25K and male) = 66/1000 = 0.066

P(I < 25K)P(male) = (220/1000)(300/1000) = 0.066

Therefore, income under $25,000 does not depend on gender.

P(I ³ 50K and male) = 57/1000 = 0.092

P(I ³ 50K)P(male) = (169/1000)(300/1000) = 0.0507

Therefore, income of $50,000 or more depends on gender.

f)       None since each gender is represented in each income category.

 

Question 3

a)      P(5) = 0.162

b)     P(X £ 5) = 0.329

c)      P(X > 5) = 1 – 0.329 = 0.671

d)     P(3) + P(4) + P(5) + P(6) = 0.047 + 0.101 + 0.162 + 0.198 = 0.508

Or P(X £ 6) – P(X £ 2) = 0.527 – 0.018 = 0.509

The discrepancy is due to rounding errors adding the values from Table A.1

e)      P(X £ 8) = 0.596

f)       m = 10(0.4) = 4; s = sqrt(4*0.6) = 1.5492

Question 5

a)      P(X < 6) = P(Z < -0.8) = 0.5 – 0.2881 = 0.2119

b)     P(X < 11) = P(Z < 1.2) = 0.5 + 0.3849 = 0.8849

c)      P(X < 7) + P(X > 10) = P(Z < -0.4) + P(Z > 0.8) = (0.5 – 0.1554) + 0.2119 = 0.5565

d)     P(5 < X < 12) = P(-1.2 < X < 1.6) = 0.3849 + 0.4452 = 0.8301

e)      –1.282 = (X – 8)/2.5; X = 8 – 1.282(2.5) = 4.795 seconds

f)       P(Xbar > 9) = P(Z > 2.53) = 0.5 – 0.4943 = 0.0057

g)      Lower limit = 8 – 2(2.5) = 3

Upper limit = 8 + 2(2.5) = 13

h)      1 – 1/(2.52) = 1 – 0.16 = 0.84

a)      mean = 6; P(X > 3) = 1 – P(X £ 3) = 1 – 0.1512 = 0.8488

b)     mean = 6; P(3) + P(4) + P(5) + P(6) = 0.5443

c)      mean = 3; P(X < 3) = 0.4232

d)     mean = 9; P(0) = 0.0001
