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

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.

A newborn baby has extremely low birth weight (ELBW) if it weighs less than 1000 grams. A study of the health of such children in later years examined a random sample of 219 children. Their mean weight at birth was x-x¯=810grams. This sample mean is an unbiased estimator of the mean weight μ in the population of all ELBW babies, which means that

a. in all possible samples of size 219 from this population, the mean of the values of x-x¯will equal 810 .

b. in all possible samples of size 219 from this population, the mean of the values of x-x¯will equal μ

c. as we take larger and larger samples from this population, x-x¯will get closer and closer to μ.

d. in all possible samples of size 219 from this population, the values of x-x¯will have a distribution that is close to Normal.

e. the person measuring the children's weights does so without any error.

Suppose that you have torn a tendon and are facing surgery to repair it. The orthopedic surgeon explains the risks to you. Infection occurs in 3%of such operations, the repair fails in 14%, and both infection and failure occur together 1%of the time. What is the probability that the operation is successful for someone who has an operation that is free from infection?

a. 0.8342

b. 0.8400

c. 0.8600

d. 0.8660

e. 0.9900

Bag check Thousands of travelers pass through the airport in Guadalajara, Mexico, each day. Before leaving the airport, each passenger must pass through the customs inspection area. Customs agents want to be sure that passengers do not bring illegal items into the country. But they do not have time to search every traveler's luggage. Instead, they require each person to press a button. Either a red or a green bulb lights up. If the red light flashes, the passenger will be searched by customs agents. A green light means "Go ahead." Customs agents claim that 30%of all travelers will be stopped (red light), because the light has probability of showing red on any push of the button. To test this claim, a concerned citizen watches a random sample of 100 travelers push the button. Only 20 get a red light.

a. Assume that the customs agents' claim is true. Find the probability that the proportion of travelers who get a red light in a random sample of 100 travelers is less than or equal to the result in this sample.

b. Based on your results in part (a), is there convincing evidence that less than 30%of all travelers will be stopped? Explain your reasoning.

A study of voting chose 663 registered voters at random shortly after an election. Of these, 72%said they had voted in the election. Election records show that only 56%of registered voters voted in the election. Which of the following statements is true?

a. 72%is a sample; 56%is a population.

b. 72%and 56%are both statistics.

c. 72%is a statistic and 56%is a parameter.

d. 72%is a parameter and 56%is a statistic.

e. 72%and 56%are both parameters.
