Suppose you need 12 bisexual students to take part in a study. If random students show up to your office to explore participating in your study (who don’t know what the study is about), how many students do you expect to talk to before finding the 12 bisexual students you need? the probability of bisexuals is 0.73056.
Homework Answers
Here, n=12, p=0.73056
The number of student expect to talk
=n*p
=12*0.73056
=8.76672

1: Suppose that you take a random sample of 300 people and find that 102 of them say they prefer to buy organic food whenever possible, even if it’s more expensive. What is the sample proportion of people who prefer to buy organic? What is the standard deviation of the sample proportion? Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion. Do you reject the null hypothesis: p = 40%? Do you reject the null hypothesis p = 30%? 2:...

Suppose that 4% of the 2 million high school students who take the SAT each year receive special accommodations because of documented disabilities. Consider a random sample of 25 students who have recently taken the test. (Round your probabilities to three decimal places.) (a) What is the probability that exactly 1 received a special accommodation? (b) What is the probability that at least 1 received a special accommodation?

Part 3: The Uniform Distribution
Suppose that you need to take a bus that comes every 30 minutes.
Assume that the amount of time you have to wait for this bus has a
uniform distribution between 0 and 30 minutes. The probability
density curve for this distribution is given below.
1) Is waiting time a discrete or continuous random variable?
2) What is the area of this entire rectangle?
3) What numbers are represented by a, b and c (note:...

In a university games tournament, 64 students are about to participate in a chess knockout competition The first round consists of 32 games, with two students per game. The 32 winners of the first round get to play in the second round, which consists of 16 games, and so on, until an overall winner is declared in the sixth round. (In the case of a draw on any game, a coin is tossed to determine the winner.) (a) In how...

Suppose you are interested in finding out how happy the students are at UNR. You design a survey that probes aspects of an individual’s emotional life, and using this survey are able to compute an accuracy index score ranging from 0 (completely miserable) to 100 (nauseatingly happy). You know that the standard deviation of the population (sigma) equals 8; however you do not know, and want to know, what the mean of the population (mu) is. Rather than give the...
