One day, 900 men and 900 women enter a shop. Each person decides to buy (or not) an advertised box of chocolates, which is on sale, with probability 1 2 . What is the (approximate) probability that the number of women who make this purchase will not differ from the number of men who buy the box by more than 50?
p1 - proportion of men who make this purchase
p2- proportion of women who make this purchase
P( |p1^- p2^| < 50/900)
Z = ((p1^- p2^) - (p1 - p2))/sqrt(p1*q1/n1 + p2*q2/n2)
here p1 = q1 = p2 = q2 = 0.5
n1 = n2 = 900
hence
Z = (p1^- p2^) /sqrt(0.5*0.5/900 + 0.5*0.5/900)
=(p1^- p2^)/ 0.023570
P( |p1^- p2^| < 50/900)
= P(|Z| < 50/900/0.023570 )
= P(|Z| < 2.35704 )
=
P (−2.35704<Z<2.35704 )=0.9818

(20.37) Researchers claim that women speak significantly more words per day than men. One estimate is that a woman uses about 20,000 words per day while a man uses about 7,000. To investigate such claims, one study used a special device to record the conversations of male and female university students over a four- day period. From these recordings, the daily word count of the 20 men in the study was determined. Here are their daily word counts 28406 10578...

At a certain coffee shop, all the customers buy a cup of coffee and some also buy a doughnut. The shop owner believes that the number of cups he sells each day is normally distributed with a mean of 340 cups and a standard deviation of 21 cups. He also believes that the number of doughnuts he sells each day is independent of the coffee sales and is normally distributed with a mean of 150 doughnuts and a standard deviation...
