In this scenario, it would be the probability of Jack bowling a strike, which is 0.38. The total number of repeated and identical events or trials is denoted by n. In this scenario, Jack bowls a total of 20 times, so n=20). 20. The Stomping Elephants volleyball team plays 30 matches in a week-long tournament. On average, they win 4 out of every 6matches. What is the mean for the number of matches that they win in the tournament? Select the correct answer below: 46 4 20 30 In this scenario, the number of trials is 30 (the total number of matches played), which is n. The probability of a success (winning a match) is 46. So, the mean of the binomial distribution B(30,46) is: μ=(30)(46)=20 21.Using the same scenario, what is the standard deviation for the number of matches that they win in the tournament? The Stomping Elephants volleyball team plays 30 matches in a week-long tournament. On average, they win 4 out of every 6matches. Select the correct answer below: 26 6.67−−−−√ 6.6720−−√ 20 40 The standard deviation of a binomial distribution is the square root of the variance. The variance is the product of n, the total number of repeated trials or events, p, the probability of a success, and q, which is (1−p). variance = σ2=np(1−p) standard deviation = variance−−−−−−−√ In this scenario, the number of trials is 30 (the total number of matches played), which is n. The probability of a success (winning a match) is 46. So, the value for (1−p) is 26. The variance is the product of these values. variance = σ2=(30)(46)(26) So the variance is approximately 6.67, and the standard deviation is the square root of that, 6.67−−−−√ 22. Identify the parameter n in the following binomial distribution scenario. A weighted coin has a 0.441 probability of landing on heads and a 0.559 probability of landing on tails.

If a sample of 100 graphics cards manufactured using the new process has a less than 10% chance of having 3 or more defective graphics cards, then the manufacturer will switch to the new process. Otherwise, the manufacturer will stay with its existing process. If the probability of a defective graphics card using the new process is 0.9%, will the manufacturer switch to the new production process? Select the correct answer below: Yes, because the probability of having 3 or more defective graphics cards is greater than 0.10. Yes, because the probability of having 3 or more defective graphics cards is less than 0.10. No, because the probability of having 3 or more defective graphics cards is less than 0.10. No, because the probability of having 3 or more defective graphics cards is greater than 0.10. (Note that this is a cumulative binomial probability. In this case, we want to find the probability of 3 or more successes, inclusive, where a success is one of the graphics cards being defective. The probability ofhaving 2 or fewer defective graphics cards is the complement of the probability of having 3 or more defective graphics cards. To determine the probability from a binomial distribution using Excel, follow the steps below. 1. First press FORMULAS and then INSERT FUNCTION. 2. Then select the BINOM.DIST function. 3. Next enter the values for the number of successes, the number of trials, the probability of a success, and the number of successes. In this case, enter 2, 100, and 0.009, in that order. Enter 1 for Cumulative since this is a cumulative probability. 4. Press OK. Excel should then display the probability. Here, the resulting probability is 0.937964, which is 0.938 rounded to three decimal places. To find the probability of having 3 or more defective graphics cards, subtract this probability from 1. The probability of having 3 or more defective graphics cards is 1−0.938=0.062, which is less than 0.10. So, the manufacturer will switch to the new process) • 52.

A poll is conducted to determine if political party has any association with whether a person is for or against a certain bill. In the poll, 214 out of 432 Democrats and 246 out of 421 Republicans are in favor of the bill. Assuming political party has no association, the probability of these results being by chance is calculated to be 0.01. Interpret the results of the calculation. We can expect that 246 out of every 421 Republicans are in support of this bill. We cannot say the results are statistically significant at the 0.05 level. At the 0.01 level of significance, political party is associated with whether a person supports this bill. At the 0.01 level of significance, political party determines whether a person supports this bill. (Statistical significance of any level does not mean that there is a certain factor that affects the results of the experiment) 59. Arianna will roll a standard die 10 times in which she will record the value of each roll. What is a trial of this experiment? one roll of the die rolling at least one 5 ten rolls of the die rolling a sum of 4060. A health survey determined the mean weight of a sample of 762 men between the ages of 26 and 31 to be 173 pounds, while the mean weight of a sample of 1,561 men between the ages of 67 and 72 was 162 pounds. The difference between the mean weights is significant at the 0.05 level. Determine the meaning of this significance level. Select the correct answer below: We expect that the mean weight of any sample of 762 men between the ages of 26 and 31 is 173 pounds. It is not unusual to see the mean weight of 1,561 men between the ages of 67 and 72 to be 162 pounds because the weight of men varies. The results are statistically significant at the 0.01 level. At the 0.05 level of significance, the age of men has an association with their mean weight. (when a difference is significant at the 0.05 level, it means that we are confident in concluding that this difference is not due to chance. If it is not due to chance, it must be due to the age of the men, because age is the differentiator between the two groups. Thus the answer is, At the 0.05 level of significance, the age of men has an association with their mean weight) 61.The mean body temperature of a human is accepted to be 98.6∘F. In a study, the body temperatures of 127 individuals were measured. The mean body temperature of the individuals was calculated to be 99.0∘F. Assuming the regular body temperature of humans is actually 98.6∘F, the probability of these results occurring by chance is less than 0.01. Interpret the results of the calculation. Select the correct answer below: We can expect that the mean body temperature of any 127 individuals is 99.0∘F. The mean body temperature of humans is not 98.6∘F. At the 0.01 level of significance, the mean body temperature of humans is not 98.6∘F. Since human body temperature varies, the results of this study are not unusual. (The results of the survey are significant at the 0.01 level. This means that the probability of the data being the result of chance is 0.01 or less. Because of this, we can be fairly confident, but not certain, that the mean body temperature of humans is not 98.6∘F)62. Which of the following events seem like they would be unlikely to occur by chance? Select all that apply: • flipping a coin 100 times and having it land on heads 15 times • • rolling a 6-sided die 100 times and having a 6 land face-up 15 times • • picking 10 people out of a crowd and having them all have brown eyes • • guessing somebody's name correctly without having previously met the person 63. Before a college professor gave an exam, he held a review session, where 30 of his 150 students attended the review. The mean score of the students who attended was 86%, whereas the mean score of the students who didn’t attend the review was 79%. The difference in the mean scores is significant at the 0.05 level, assuming the review session does not associate with a higher exam score. Determine the meaning of this significance level. Select the correct answer below: It is not unusual to see the mean exam score of 120 students be 79% because the testing abilities of students vary. We expect the mean score of a group of 30 students who attend a review session to be 86%. At the 0.05 level of significance, attendance of the review session is associated with a higher exam score. The review session is helpful to students at the 0.01 level of significance. 64. According to a recent poll, 40.5% of people aged 25 years or older in the state of Massachusetts have a bachelor’s degree or higher. The poll also reported that 30.0% of people aged 25 years or older in the state of Delaware have abachelor’s degree or higher. The poll sampled 354 residents of Massachusetts and 210 residents of Delaware. The data was calculated to be significant at the 0.013 level. Determine the meaning of this significance level. Select the correct answer below: At the 0.013 level of significance, a larger percentage of residents from Massachusetts have bachelor’s degrees. It is not unusual to see 30.0% of a sample of 210 residents of Delaware have bachelor’s degrees because level of education varies. It is certain that more residents of Massachusetts have bachelor’s degrees than do residents of Delaware. We can expect about 40.5% of any group of 354 Massachusetts residents to have a bachelor’s degree or higher. 65. A survey was conducted to see whether age has an association with the belief that a master’s degree or higher provides an advantage in one’s career. Of the 524 adults between the ages of 22 and 25 surveyed, 56% believed that a master’s degree has value in a person’s career path. Of the 458 adults surveyed between the ages of 40 and 45, 52% also believed that a master’s degree has value in a person’s career path. Assuming age is not associated with this belief, the probability of the data being the result of chance is calculated to be 0.21. Interpret this calculation. Select the correct answer below: We can expect 56% of all adults between the ages of 22 and 25 to believe a master’s degree or higher provides an advantage in one’s career. The data is statistically significant at the 0.05 level of significance in showing that age has an association with the belief that a master’s degree or higher provides an advantage in one’s career. Age does not have any association with the belief that a master’s degree or higher provides an advantage in one’s career. The data are not statistically significant at the 0.05 level of significance in showing that age has an association with the belief that a master’s degree or higher provides an advantage in one’s career.66. A farmer claims that the average mass of an apple grown in his orchard is 100g. To test this claim, he measures the mass of 150 apples that are grown in his orchard and determines the average mass per apple to be 98g. The results are calculated to be statistically significant at the 0.01 level. What is the correct interpretation of this calculation? Select the correct answer below: The data are not statistically significant at the 0.05 level. The mean mass of any 150 apples grown in the farmer's orchard is 98g. At the 0.01 level of significance, the mean mass of the apples grown in the farmer's orchard is different from 100g. At the 0.01 level of significance, the mean mass of the apples grown in the farmer's orchard is 98g. 67. Paul will roll two standard dice simultaneously.
