Chapter 5: Q. 72 (page 352)

Consider the following experiment. You are one of 100 people enlisted to take part in a study to determine the percent of nurses in America with an R.N. (registered nurse) degree. You ask nurses if they have an R.N. degree. The nurses answer “yes” or “no.” You then calculate the percentage of nurses with an R.N. degree. You give that percentage to your supervisor. a. What part of the experiment will yield discrete data? b. What part of the experiment will yield continuous data

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. Responses of experiment can yield discrete data.

b. Supervisor collecting can yield continuous data.

Step by step solution

01

Theory of discrete data

Discrete data can be yielded through response of survey to understand publics information.

02

Theory of continues data

Continues data can be yielded by collecting all information from the nurse who have R.N degree. Due to this reason, Supervisor collecting is important for continuous data.

Use the following information to answer the next seven exercises. A distribution is given as X~Exp(0.75). FindP(x<4)

According to a study by Dr. John McDougall of his live-in weight loss program, the people who follow his program lose between six and 15 pounds a month until they approach trim body weight. Let’s suppose that the weight loss is uniformly distributed. We are interested in the weight loss of a randomly selected individual following the program for one month. a. Define the random variable. X = _________ b. X ~ _________ c. Graph the probability distribution. d. f(x) = _________ e. μ = _________ f. σ = _________ g. Find the probability that the individual lost more than ten pounds in a month. h. Suppose it is known that the individual lost more than ten pounds in a month. Find the probability that he lost less than 12 pounds in the month. i. P(7 < x < 13|x > 9) = __________. State this in a probability question, similarly to parts g and h, draw the picture, and find the probability.

a. Sketch the graph, and shade the area of interest.

b. Find the value k such that P(x < k) = 0.30.

Use the following information to answer the next eight exercises. A distribution is given as X~U(0,12)

. What is b? What does it represent?

The data that follow are the square footage (in 1,000 feet squared) of 28 homes.

The sample mean = 2.50 and the sample standard deviation = 0.8302. The distribution can be written as X~U(1.5,4.5).
