Solution: 4*7=28

Solution: In a deck of 52 cards, there are 13 spades: There are 4 aces:

52 4

13 52

And one of the 4 aces is a spade: Thus:

Solution: z-score= (raw score-mean score)/std. deviation

* Find the mean difference (male absences minus female absences) in the population. d = 1 - 2 = 15 - 10 = 5 * Find the standard deviation of the difference. d = sqrt( 12 / n1 + 22 / n2 ) d = sqrt(72/100 + 62/50) = sqrt(49/100 + 36/50) = sqrt(0.49 + .72) = sqrt(1.21) = 1.1 * Find the z-score that produced when boys have three more days of absences than girls. When boys have three more days of absences, the number of male absences minus female absences is three. And the associated z-score is z = (x - )/ = (3 - 5)/1.1 = -2/1.1 = -1.818 * Find the probability. This problem requires us to find the probability that the average number of absences in the boy sample minus the average number of absences in the girl sample is less than 3. To find this probability, we enter the z-score (-1.818) into Stat Trek's Normal Distribution Calculator. We find that the probability of a z-score being -1.818 or less is about 0.035.

Make sure the samples from each population are big enough to model differences with a normal distribution. Because n 1 P 1 = 100 * 0.52 = 52, n 1 (1 - P 1 ) = 100 * 0.48 = 48, n 2 P 2 = 100 * 0.47 = 47, and n 2 (1 - P 2 ) = 100 * 0.53 = 53 are each greater than 10, the sample size is large enough. Find the mean of the difference in sample proportions: E(p 1 - p 2 ) = P 1 - P 2 = 0.52 - 0.47 = 0.05. Find the standard deviation of the difference. d = sqrt{ [ P 1 (1 - P 1 ) / n 1 ] + [ P 2 (1 - P 2 ) / n 2 ] } d = sqrt{ [ (0.52)(0.48) / 100 ] + [ (0.47)(0.53) / 100 ] } d = sqrt (0.002496 + 0.002491) = sqrt(0.004987) = 0.0706

Find the probability. This problem requires us to find the probability that p 1 is less than p 2 . This is equivalent to finding the probability that p 1 - p 2 is less than zero. To find this probability, we need to transform the random variable (p 1 - p 2 ) into a z-score. That transformation appears below. z p1 - p2 = (x - p1 - p2 ) / d = = (0 - 0.05)/0.0706 = -0.7082 Using Stat Trek's Normal Distribution Calculator, we find that the probability of a z-score being -0.7082 or less is 0.24.

Solution: (Using Bayes Theorem) The sample space is defined by two mutually-exclusive events - it rains or it does not rain. Additionally, a third event occurs when the weatherman predicts rain. Notation for these events appears below. Event A 1 . It rains on Marie's wedding. Event A 2 . It does not rain on Marie's wedding. Event B. The weatherman predicts rain.

In terms of probabilities, we know the following: P( A 1 ) = 5/365 =0.0136985 [It rains 5 days out of the year.] P( A 2 ) = 360/365 = 0.9863014 [It does not rain 360 days out of the year.] P( B | A 1 ) = 0.9 [When it rains, the weatherman predicts rain 90% of the time.] P( B | A 2 ) = 0.1 [When it does not rain, the weatherman predicts rain 10% of the time.]

We want to know P( A 1 | B ), the probability it will rain on the day of Marie's wedding, given a forecast for rain by the weatherman. The answer can be determined from Bayes' theorem, as shown below. P( A 1 ) P( B | A 1 ) P( A 1 ) P( B | A 1 ) + P( A 2 ) P( B | A 2 )

P( A 1 | B ) =

P( A 1 | B ) = (0.014)(0.9) / [ (0.014)(0.9) + (0.986)(0.1) ] P( A 1 | B ) = 0.111

Solution: z=

* Then, using an online calculator (e.g., Stat Trek's free normal distribution calculator), a handheld graphing calculator, or the standard normal distribution table, we find the cumulative probability associated with the zscore. In this case, we find P(Z < 0.90) = 0.8159. *Therefore, the P(Z > 0.90) = 1 - P(Z < 0.90) = 1 - 0.8159 = 0.1841.
