Joan conducted a study to see how common binge drinking is on her college campus. She defined "frequent binge drinking" as havin

g five or more drinks in a row three or more times in the past two weeks. Out of 593 students who replied to her survey, 64 fit this criterion. Joan wants to construct a significance test for her data. She finds that the proportion of binge drinkers nationally is 13.1%. The z statistic for this data is __________.

Answer:

z = -1.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-statistic:

z = \frac{X - p}{s}

In which X is the found proportion.

p is the mean proportion.

s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} is the standard error for the data.

Out of 593 students who replied to her survey, 64 fit this criterion.

This means that X = \frac{64}{593} = 0.108

She finds that the proportion of binge drinkers nationally is 13.1%.

This means that p = 0.131

Also

s = \sqrt{\frac{0.131*0.869}{593}} = 0.014

The z statistic for this data is

z = \frac{X - p}{s}

z = \frac{0.108 - 0.131}{0.014}

z = -1.66

A quality control engineer tests the quality of produced computers. suppose that 5% of computers have defects, and defects occur
11111nata11111 [884]
(a) 0.059582148 probability of exactly 3 defective out of 20

 (b) 0.98598125 probability that at least 5 need to be tested to find 2 defective.

  (a) For exactly 3 defective computers, we need to find the calculate the probability of 3 defective computers with 17 good computers, and then multiply by the number of ways we could arrange those computers. So

 0.05^3 * (1 - 0.05)^(20-3) * 20! / (3!(20-3)!)

 = 0.05^3 * 0.95^17 * 20! / (3!17!)

 = 0.05^3 * 0.95^17 * 20*19*18*17! / (3!17!)

 = 0.05^3 * 0.95^17 * 20*19*18 / (1*2*3)

 = 0.05^3 * 0.95^17 * 20*19*(2*3*3) / (2*3)

 = 0.05^3 * 0.95^17 * 20*19*3

 = 0.000125* 0.418120335 * 1140

 = 0.059582148

  (b) For this problem, let's recast the problem into "What's the probability of having only 0 or 1 defective computers out of 4?" After all, if at most 1 defective computers have been found, then a fifth computer would need to be tested in order to attempt to find another defective computer. So the probability of getting 0 defective computers out of 4 is (1-0.05)^4 = 0.95^4 = 0.81450625.

 The probability of getting exactly 1 defective computer out of 4 is 0.05*(1-0.05)^3*4!/(1!(4-1)!)

 = 0.05*0.95^3*24/(1!3!)

 = 0.05*0.857375*24/6

 = 0.171475

 
 So the probability of getting only 0 or 1 defective computers out of the 1st 4 is 0.81450625 + 0.171475 = 0.98598125 which is also the probability that at least 5 computers need to be tested.
