In 2002, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 8% of women married for the first time by their 18th

Question:

In 2002, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 8% of women married for the first time by their 18th birthday, 25% married by their 20th birthday, and 76% married by their 30th birthday. Based on these data, what is the probability that in a family with two daughters, the first and second daughter will be married by the following ages? (Enter your answers to four decimal places.) (a) 18 years of age (b) 20 years of age (c) 30 years of age

Answer:

A.) 0.0064

B.) 0.0625

C.) 0.5776

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Married by 18th birthday = 8% = 0.08

Married by 20th birthday = 25% = 0.25

Married by 30th birthday = 76% = 0.76

In a family with two(2) daughters :

P(First daughter will be married by 18) = 0.08

P(second daughter will be married by 18) = 0.08

P(1st and 2nd married by 18) = (0.08×0.08) = 0.0064

B.)

P(First daughter will be married by 20) = 0.25

P(second daughter will be married by 20) = 0.25

P(1st and 2nd married by 20) = (0.25×0.25) = 0.0625

C.)

P(First daughter will be married by 30) = 0.76

P(second daughter will be married by 30) = 0.76

P(1st and 2nd married by 30) = (0.76×0.76) = 0.5776

Pavel [41]

We first must calculate how many ways 2 oblects can be chosen from 5.

combinations = 5! / 2! * (5-2)!

combinations = 5*4 / 2

combinations = 10


There are 10 ways to choose the 2 buttons and 5 ways to choose the final butto so there are 10 * 5 = 50 different ways.

Two production lines produce the same parts per week of which 100 are defective. Line 2 produces 2,000 parts per week of which 1
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

(a) 0.0833 or 8.33%

(b) 0.40 or 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Parts line one (n1) = 1,000 parts

Defects line one (d1) = 100 parts

Parts line two (n2) = 2,000 parts

Defects line two (d2) = 150 parts

Total number of parts (n) = 3,000 parts

a. Probability of a randomly selected part being defective:

P(d) = \frac{d_1+d_2}{n_1+n_2}=\frac{100+150}{1,000+2,000}\\P(d) =0.0833=8.33\%

The probability is 0.0833 or 8.33%

b. Probability of a part being produced by line one, given that it is defective:

P(1|d)=\frac{P(1\cap d)}{P(1\cap d)+P(2\cap d)}\\P(1|d)=\frac{\frac{100}{3,000} }{\frac{100}{3,000}+\frac{150}{3,000}}\\P(1|d)=0.4 = 40\%

The probability is 0.40 or 40%.

Let p denote the proportion of students at a particular university that use the fitness center on campus on a regular basis. For
9966 [12]

Answer:

a) P-value = 0.0968

b) P-value = 0.2207

c) P-value = 0.0239

d) P-value = 0.0040

e) P-value = 0.5636

Step-by-step explanation:

As the hypothesis are defined with a ">" sign, instead of an "≠", the test is right-tailed.

For this type of test, the P-value is defined as:

P-value=P(z>z^*)

being z* the value for each test statistic.

The probability P is calculated from the standard normal distribution.

Then, we can calculate for each case:

(a) 1.30

P-value=P(z>1.30) = 0.0968

(b) 0.77

P-value=P(z>0.77) = 0.2207

(c) 1.98

P-value=P(z>1.98) = 0.0239

(d) 2.65

P-value=P(z>2.65) = 0.0040

(e) −0.16

P-value=P(z>-0.16) = 0.5636

A normal distribution curve, where x = 70 and σ = 15, was created by a teacher using her students’ grades. What information abou
mash [69]

Answer:

The median and mode of the students grade is 70.

Most of the students scored between 40 and 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the provided information it can be seen that the mean of the distribution is, <em>μ</em> = 70 and the standard deviation is, <em>σ</em> = 15.

For a Normal distributed data the mean, median and mode are the same.

So, the median and mode of the students grade is 70.

The standard deviation of the data represents the spread of the observation, i.e. how dispersed the values are along the curve.

In statistics, the 68–95–99.7 rule, also recognized as the empirical rule, is a shortcut used to recall that 68.27%, 95.45% and 99.73% of the values of a Normally distributed data lie within one, two and three standard deviations of the mean, respectively.

P(\mu-\sigma  

P(\mu-2\sigma

P(\mu-3\sigma

Assuming that maximum marks of the exam is 100, it can be said that most of the students scored between 40 and 100.
