2. It is estimated that 70% of all visitors to a given website are college students. The remaining 30% are either college graduates or have not attended college. Suppose the website had twelve visitors in the last two hours. (a) Let X be the number of visitors (among the twelve) who are college students. What assumptions need to be satisfied in order for X to obey a binomial distri bution? (b) Modeling X as a binomially distributed random variable, what...
5 = b Let X be a random variable with the following probability distribution: Value x of X P(X=x) 30 0.35 40 0.30 0.05 0.15 0.15 Find the expectation E (x) and variance Var (x) of X. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) X 5 ? E (x) = 0 Var(x) = 0 Continue The workers' union at a certain university is quite strong. About 96% of all workers em workers went on strike, and now a local TV...
Answer question 1 & 2 asap please
Question 1 As shown in the Venn diagram below, P and Q are events in the sample space S. Indicate the event by shading the appropriate region(s). (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) S P x 5 ? e Question 2 A machine that manufactures automobile pistons is estimated to produce a defective piston 1% of the time. Suppose that this estimate is correct and that a random sample of 80 pistons...
A machine that manufactures automobile pistons is estimated to produce a defective piston 3% of the time. Suppose that this estimate is correct and that a random sample of 90 pistons produced by this machine is taken. a. Estimate the number of pistons in the sample that are defective by giving the mean of the relevant distribution (that is, the expectation of the relevant random variable). Do not round your response. b. Quantify the uncertainty of your estimate by giving...
The workers' union at a particular university is quite strong. About 96% of all workers employed by the university belong to the workers' union. Recently the workers went on strike, and now a local TV station plans to interview 5 workers (chosen at random) at the university to get their opinions on the strike. What is the probability that exactly 3 of the workers interviewed are union members? Round your response to at least three decimal places. (If necessary, consult...

Executives of a supermarket chain are interested in the amount of time that customers spend in the stores during shopping trips. The executives hire a statistical consultant and ask her to determine the mean shopping time, p, of customers at the supermarkets. The consultant will collect a random sample of shopping times at the supermarkets and use the mean of these shopping times to estimate p. Assuming that the standard deviation of the population of shopping times at the supermarkets...
Anita's, a fast-food chain specializing in hot dogs and garlic fries, keep track of the proportion of its customers who decide to eat in the restaurant (as opposed to ordering the food "to go") so it can make decisions regarding the possible construction of in-store play areas, the attendance of its mascot Sammy at the franchise locations, and so on. Anita's reports that 52% of its customers order their food to go. Suppose that this proportion is correct and that...

A certain brokerage house wants to estimate the mean daily return on a certain stock. A random sample of 13 days yields the following return percentages: -287-2.57.-2.52,28.-11.028, 261,-0.96, 2.45,229.1.47, 148,-0.26 If we assume that the returns are normally distributed, find a 95% confidence interval for the mean daily return on this stock. Then complete the table below. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to one decimal place. (if necessary, consult a list of...
