  • Population variance
    binomial1 In a California community college, 60% of students will transfer to a college in the CSU system. The number of students in a sample who will transfer follows a binomial distribution. If 8 students are randomly selected, find the population variance σ2 of
  • Sample Proportion
    binomial1 In a California community college, 60% of students will transfer to a college in the CSU system. The number of students in a sample who will transfer follows a binomial distribution. 400 students are randomly selected from the college and 224 of them will
  • Suppose 4
    normal_d Suppose that 14% of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked (rather than having to be scrapped). Consider a random sample of 200 shafts, and let X denote the number among these that are nonconforming and can be

  • And-or probabilities
    venn P(A ) = 0.53, P(B) = 0.15, and P(A n B ) = 0.18. Find P(A U B ). Round approximations to two decimal places.
  • The spinner
    spinner The spinner below is spun 12 times. It landed on I 4 times, II 7 times, and III 1 time. What is the difference between the experimental and theoretical probabilities of landing on the II?
  • Five number code
    pin_keyboard I have a 5 digit code on the bag that I forgot. All I remember is that it was a symmetric number and the sum of its digits was 22. Write all the numbers that can be a code. .
  • Smoker male
    venn_intersect For a person selected randomly from a certain population, events A and B are defined as follows. A = event the person is male B = event the person is a smoker. For this particular population, it is found that P(A ) = 0.53, P(B) = 0.15, and P(A n B ) = 0.1
