The dotplot :

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We need to find proportion of females for each sample, and display the sampling distribution of the sample proportion on a dotplot for given table

Name
Gender
Quiz score
Abigail
Female
10
Bobby
Male
5
Carlos
Male
10
DeAnna
Female
7
Emily
Female
9
02

Simplify

As given Size of sample is two.

Therefore, the proportion of females for each sample :

Sample of size 2
Sample proprtion of Female
Abigail - Bobby
p^=12=0.5
Abigail - Carlos
p^=12=0.5
Abigail - DeAnna
p^=22=1
Abigail - Emily
p^=22=1
Bobby - Carlos
p^=02=0
Bobby - DeAnna
p^=12=0.5
Bobby - Emily
p^=12=0.5
Carlos - DeAnna
p^=12=0.5
Carlos- Emily
p^=12=0.5
DeAnna - Emily
p^=22=1

A dot plot is a graph that shows the distribution of numerical variables by using dots to represent values.
If a value appears more than once in a whole number, the dots are stacked one on top of the other, with the height of the column of dots representing the frequency of that value.

The dot plot is :

From dot plot

Centre =0.5

Minimum =0

Maximum =1

Range =1

Distribution is slightly negative of left skewed.

At a traveling carnival, a popular game is called the “Cash Grab.” In this game, participants step into a sealed booth, a powerful fan turns on, and dollar bills are dropped from the ceiling. A customer has 30 seconds to grab as much cash as possible while the dollar bills swirl around. Over time, the operators of the game have determined that the mean amount grabbed is \(13 with a standard deviation of \)9. They charge \(15 to play the game and expect to have 40 customers at their next carnival.

a. What is the probability that an SRS of 40 customers grab an average of \)15 or more?

b. How much should the operators charge if they want to be 95% certain that the mean amount grabbed by an SRS of 40 customers is less than what they charge to play the game?

In a certain large population of adults, the distribution of IQ scores is strongly left skewed with a mean of 122 and a standard deviation of 5. Suppose 200 adults are randomly selected from this population for a market research study. For SRSs of size 200, the distribution of sample mean IQ score is

a. left-skewed with mean 122 and standard deviation 0.35.

b. exactly Normal with mean 122 and standard deviation 5.

c. exactly Normal with mean 122 and standard deviation 0.35.

d. approximately Normal with mean 122 and standard deviation 5.

e. approximately Normal with mean 122 and standard deviation 0.35.


On one episode of his show, a radio show host encouraged his listeners to visit his website and vote in a poll about proposed tax increases. Of the 4821 people who vote, 4277 are against the proposed increases. To which of the following populations should the results of this poll be generalized?

a. All people who have ever listened to this show

b. All people who listened to this episode of the show

c. All people who visited the show host's website

d. All people who voted in the poll

e. All people who voted against the proposed increases

The number of flaws per square yard in a type of carpet material varies with mean 1.6flaws per square yard and standard deviation flaws per square yard.

a. Without doing any calculations, explain which event is more likely:

  • randomly selecting a1square yard of material and finding 2 or more flaws
  • randomly selecting 50square yards of material and finding an average of 2or more flaws

b. Explain why you cannot use a Normal distribution to calculate the probability of the first event in part (a).

c. Calculate the probability of the second event in part (a).

Dem bones (2.2) Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become brittle due to the loss of minerals. To diagnose osteoporosis, an elaborate apparatus measures bone mineral density (BMD). BMD is usually reported in a standardized form. The standardization is based on a population of healthy young adults. The World Health Organization (WHO) criterion for osteoporosis is a BMD score that is 2.5standard deviations below the mean for young adults. BMD measurements in a population of people similar in age and gender roughly follow a Normal distribution.

a. What percent of healthy young adults have osteoporosis by the WHO criterion?

b. Women aged 70to 79are, of course, not young adults. The mean BMD in this age group is about-2 on the standard scale for young adults. Suppose that the standard deviation is the same as for young adults. What percent of this older population has osteoporosis?
