Nov 21-8:16 PM Section I: Multiple Choice Select the best answer for each question. Questions T6.1 to T6.3 refer to the following setting. A psychologist studied the number of puzzles that subjects were able to solve in a five-minute period while listening to soothing music. Let X be the number of puzzles completed successfully by a randomly chosen subject. The psychologist found that X had the following probability distribution: T6.1. What is the probability that a randomly chosen subject completes more than the expected number of puzzles in the five-minute period while listening to soothing music? > (a) 0.1 > (b) 0.4 > (c) 0.8 > (d) 1 µ X = 1(0.2) + 2(0.4) + 3(0.3) + 4(0.1) = 2.3 > (e) Cannot be determined P(X = 3 or X = 4) = 0.4 Dec 9-9:43 PM 12
T6.2. The standard deviation of X is 0.9. Which of the following is the best interpretation of this value? D > (a) About 90% of subjects solved 3 or fewer puzzles. > (b) About 68% of subjects solved between 0.9 puzzles less and 0.9 puzzles more than the mean. > (c) The typical subject solved an average of 0.9 puzzles. > (d) The number of puzzles solved by subjects typically differed from the mean by about 0.9 puzzles. > (e) The number of puzzles solved by subjects typically differed from one another by about 0.9 puzzles. Dec 9-9:47 PM T6.3. Let D be the difference in the number of puzzles solved by two randomly selected subjects in a five-minute period. What is the standard deviation of D?

Which of the following pairs of random variables are most likely independent? > (a) X = student s height; Y = student s weight > (b) X = student s IQ; Y = student s GPA > (c) X = student s PSAT Math score; Y = student s PSAT Verbal score > (d) X = average amount of homework the student does per night; Y = student s GPA > (e) X = average amount of homework the student does per night; Y = student s height Dec 9-9:48 PM T6.5. A certain vending machine offers 20-ounce bottles of soda for $1.50. The number of bottles X bought from the machine on any day is a random variable with mean 50 and standard deviation 15. Let the random variable Y equal the total revenue from this machine on a given day. Assume that the machine works properly and that no sodas are stolen from the machine. What are the mean and standard deviation of Y? > (a) µ Y = $1.50, σ Y = $22.50 > (b) µ Y = $1.50, σ Y = $33.75 > (c) µ Y = $75, σ Y = $18.37 > (d) µ Y = $75, σ Y = $22.50 > (e) µ Y = $75, σ Y = $33.75 Y = 1.50(X) µ Y = 1.50(50) = $75 σ Y = 1.5(15) = $22.5 Dec 9-9:49 PM 14
T6.6. The weight of tomatoes chosen at random from a bin at the farmer s market follows a Normal distribution with mean µ = 10 ounces and standard deviation σ = 1 ounce. Suppose we pick four tomatoes at random from the bin and find their total weight T. The random variable T is (a) Normal, with mean 10 ounces and standard deviation 1 ounce.

Suppose that the probability distribution of Y is as follows. > (a) What is the probability that at least 10 eggs in a randomly selected carton are unbroken? P(Y 2) = P(Y=0) + P(Y=1) + P(Y=2) = 0.78 + 0.11 + 0.07 = 0.96 > (b) Calculate and interpret µy µy = 0(0.78) + 1(0.11) + 2(0.07) + 3(0.03) = 0.38 If many, many egg cartons were randomly selected the number of broken eggs in the carton would average 0.38 broken eggs. > (c) Calculate and interpret σy. Show your work. σ 2 Y = (0.38-0) 2 (0.78) + (0.38-1) 2 (0.11) + (0.38-2) 2 (0.07) + (0.38-3) 2 (0.03) + (0.38-4) 2 (0.01) = 0.6756 σ Y = 0.6756 = 0.8219 If a carton of eggs is randomly selected, the number of broken eggs in the carton will typically differ from the average 0.38 by 0.82 eggs. > (d) A quality control inspector at the store keeps looking at randomly selected cartons of eggs until he finds one with at least 2 broken eggs. Find the probability that this happens in one of the first three cartons he inspects. THIS QUESTION IS A PREVIEW OF SECTION 6.3 P( at least two broken eggs) =P(Y=2) + P(Y=3) + P(Y=4) = 0.07 + 0.03 + 0.01 = 0.11 P(less than 2 broken eggs) = 1-0.11 = 0.89 Let X be the number of cartons selected until you find one with at least 2 broken eggs. P(X = 1) = 0.11 P(X = 2) = (0.89)(0.11) = 0.0979 P(X = 3) = (0.89)(0.89)(0.11) = 0.087131 P(X 3) = 0.11 + 0.0979 + 0.087131 = 0.295031 Dec 9-9:50 PM 15
