Fall 2010 Math 227 Final Name: ______________________ Show your work clearly, neatly, and understandably. Make sure you round the decimal for probability to 5-decimal place and round the percentage to 3-decimal. 1. Lengths of salmon caught by fishermen in Alaska are normally distributed with a mean of 21.5 inches and a standard deviation of 3.25 inches. a. (2) What percentages of the salmon are longer than 20.40 inches? (Total 17) b. (3) The percentage of the salmon shorter than k inches is 85%. Find k. c. (3) A sample of 10 salmon is selected at random. What is the probability that 3 of them have length more than 20.40 inches? d. (4) Find the probability that the average length of 10 randomly selected salmon is between 24 in and 25 in. e. (5) Find the probability that, of 100 salmon, more than 55 with length more than 20.40 inches. 2. (Total 8) A box contains 9 identical balls (except in colors): 3 red, 4 yellow, and 2 green. a. (3) Three balls are selected without replacement. Find the probability of selecting 2 or more red balls. b. (5) Create a probability distribution of the number of yellow balls selected for a procedure of selecting three balls without replacement. 3. The chips of a computer manufacturer are supplied by 3 companies: 40% from A, (Total 10) 35% from B, and the rest by C. Of those supplied by A, 1% are defective; by B, 2% are defective; by C, 4% are defective. a. (3) A chip is randomly selected. Find the probability that the chip is defective. b. (3) Given a chip is defective. Find the probability that the chip is from A. c. (4) Out of 100 defective chips, find the probability that less than 25 are from company A. 4. (Total 5) Suppose P(A) = 0.57, P(B) = 0.74, and b. (6) Construct 95%-CI for mean. c. (8) At P(AB) = 0.95. Find: 5. a. (3) P(AB) b. (2) P(A|B) (Total 5) Suppose P(A) = 0.57, P(B) = 0.60, and P(A|B) = 0.75. 6. a. (3) P(AB) b. (2) P(AB) (Total 20) Suppose that the weight of the cereal in boxes of Loopy Froots breakfast cereal is normally distributed. A consumer advocate group randomly sampled 8 boxes of Loopy Froots and weighed the contents (in grams): 535, 540, 565, 575, 535, 558, 564, and 550. a. Find the mean and standard deviation of the sample. (2,4) 5%-SL, test the claim that the weight of the cereal in boxes of Loopy Froots breakfast is less than 570 grams. 7. (Total 18) A course is offered by the Mathematics Department in two sections taught by two different instructors, whose grade distributions are approximately normal. Data from the past is summarized in the following: Mr. X: number of students = 56, number of passing students = 25, Average class X = 68, standard deviation x = 21 Ms. Y: number of students = 78, number of passing students = 52, Average class Y = 70, standard deviation y= 12 a. (8) At 5%-SL, test the claim that Ms. Y’s class has a higher passing rate. b. (10) At 5%-SL, test the claim that Ms. Y’s class has a higher average. 8. (Total 26) The following are the Test 3 scores of all my PreAlgebra classes at WLAC. From the data, find: 10 38 49 59 74 84 98 15 40 51 59 77 88 100 18 42 51 67 78 89 104 20 43 52 68 79 89 107 22 43 52 69 80 90 23 44 53 69 80 91 24 44 55 69 80 92 26 45 56 69 80 92 36 46 58 69 83 93 37 48 59 71 84 96 a. (2) Median b. (2) Mode c. (2) Q1 d. (2) Q3 e. (1) Range Data are sorted and rounded to the nearest unit for simplicity. f. (10) g. (7) Create a Frequency Distribution with 6 classes and extend to estimate the mean and standard deviation. Create a 95%-CI for the standard deviation. 9. (3) The Los Angeles Beanstalk Club has a height requirement that women must be at least 68 in. tall. Women’s heights are normally distributed with a mean of 63.6 in. and a standard deviation of 2.5 in. What percentages of women meet that requirement? Draw a density curve with all relevant information.
