A business bureau gets complaints as shown in the following table. Find the expected number of complaints per day. X 0 P(X) 0.04 1 0.11 2 0.21 3 0.33 4 0.19 5 0.12 4. Find the expected value for the random variable X having this probability function: 5. Find the expected value for the random variable X having this PDF: 6. A contractor is considering a sale that promises a profit of $23,000 with a probability of 0.7 or a loss (due to bad weather, strikes, etc.) of $13,000 with a probability of 0.3. What is the expected profit? 7. John buys one $5 raffle ticket (out of a total of 500 sold in all). If a single randomly selected winner gets a $100 prize, what are John’s expected winnings? 8. Suppose you buy 1 ticket for $1 out of a lottery of 1000 tickets where the prize for the winning ticket is to be $500. What are your expected winnings? 9. A raffle offers a first prize of $1000, 2 second prizes of $300 and 20 third prizes of $10 each. If 1000 tickets are sold at 50 cents each, find the expected winnings for a person buying 1 ticket. 10. Two cards are drawn with replacement from a deck of cards and the number of black cards is noted. If X is the random variable representing the number of black cards drawn, construct the PDF. 11. Find the expected payback for a game in which you bet $6 on any number from 0 to 399 and if your number comes up, you get $1000. 12. One option in a roulette game is to bet $2 on red. (There are 18 red compartments, 18 black compartments and two compartments that are neither black nor red.) If the ball lands on red, you get to keep the $2 you paid to play the game and you are awarded $2. If the ball lands elsewhere, you are awarded nothing and the $2 bet is collected. Find the expected payback for this game if you bet $2 on red. 13. Find the mean for the following numbers: 10.2, 7.1, 7.3, 8.4, 8.6. 14. Find the median for the following numbers: 10.2, 7.1, 7.3, 8.4, 8.6. 15. Find the standard deviation for the following numbers: 10.2, 7.1, 7.3, 8.4, 8.6. 16. Find the range for the following numbers: 10.2, 7.1, 7.3, 8.4, 8.6. 17. Find the median for the following numbers: 42, 18, 12, 33, 75, 22, 18, 35 18. Find the mode for the following numbers: 42, 18, 12, 33, 75, 22, 18, 35 19. Use the table below to find the (a) mean, (b) median, (c) mode, and (d) standard deviation.

What percentage of the data is within the given standard deviations of the mean? (Round to the nearest whole percentage.) 7.5 7.1 7.4 7.3 7.2 7.5 7.4 7.2 (a) ___% of the data is within 1 standard deviation of the mean. (b) ___% of the data is within 2 standard deviations of the mean. 23. Chebyshev's Theorem states that for any set of numbers, the fraction that will lie within k standard deviations of the mean is at least . (a) Using this result, find the fraction of all the numbers of a data set that must lie within 3 standard deviations of the mean. (b) Find the fraction of all the numbers of a data set with a mean of 60 and standard deviation 4 that must lie between 52 and 68.
