SAMPLE ITEM
The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale labels hurricanes with a 1-5 rating
based on their intensity. The overall probability that a hurricane is
rated 1-4 is 0.985. The probability of a hurricane hitting Florida is 0.32.
The probability that a hurricane is rated a 5 and misses Florida is 0.01.

Using Probability to Make Decisions
Benchmark
Develop a probability distribution for a random variable defined for a
sample space in which theoretical probabilities can be calculated; find the
expected value. For example, find the theoretical probability distribution for
the number of correct answers obtained by guessing on all five questions of
a multiple-choice test where each question has four choices, and find the
expected grade under various grading schemes.

Using Probability to Make Decisions
Benchmark
Develop a probability distribution for a random variable defined for a
sample space in which probabilities are assigned empirically; find the
expected value. For example, find a current data distribution on the number
of TV sets per household in the United States, and calculate the expected
number of sets per household. How many TV sets would you expect to find in
100 randomly selected households?

Using Probability to Make Decisions
Benchmark
MACC.912.S-MD.2.5 : Weigh the possible outcomes of a decision by
assigning probabilities to payoff values and finding expected values.
a. Find the expected payoff for a game of chance. For example, find the
expected winnings from a state lottery ticket or a game at a fast-food
restaurant.
b. Evaluate and compare strategies on the basis of expected values. For
example, compare a high-deductible versus a low-deductible automobile
insurance policy using various, but reasonable, chances of having a minor
or a major accident.
MACC.912.S-MD.2.6: Use probabilities to make fair decisions (e.g.,
drawing by lots, using a random number generator).

Sample Item 1
1. A box contains ten $1 bills, five $2 bills, three $5 bills, one $10 bill, and one $100 bill. A person is charged
$20 to select one bill.
a) Calculate the expected value and interpret this value in the context of this problem.
b) Is the game fair?
48
Solution:
a) $1(10/20) + $2(5/20) + $5(3/20) +$10(1/20) +$100(1/20) = $7.25 is the expected amount a person
would collect.
b) No the game is not fair because the expected winnings are less than the amount charged to play.

Engineers must consider the breadths of male heads when designing
motorcycle helmets. Men have head breadths that are normally distributed
with a mean of 6.0 inches and a standard deviation of 1.0 inch (survey data
from Gordon Churchill). 100 men are randomly selected. What is the
probability that the men have a mean head breadth less than 6.2?
