MATH 120 AMU QUIZ 4 question 2
question A particular lake is known to be one of the best places to catch a certain type of fish. In this table, x = number of fish caught in a 6-hour period. The percentage data are the percentages of fishermen who caught x fish in a 6-hour period while fishing from shore.
x 0 1 2 3 4 or more
% 43% 35% 15% 6% 1%
(a) Convert the percentages to probabilities and make a histogram of the probability distribution. (Select the correct graph.)
A histogram with 5 bars is given. The horizontal axis is labeled: x. The vertical axis is labeled: P(x). The leftmost bar is centered on the value 0 and is 0.43 units tall. Moving to the right, the second bar is centered on the value 1 and is 0.35 units tall. The third bar is centered on the value 2 and is 0.06 units tall. The fourth bar is centered on the value 3 and is 0.15 units tall. The fifth bar is centered on the value 4, with the label “4 or more”, and is 0.01 units tall.

(b) Find the probability that a fisherman selected at random fishing from shore catches one or more fish in a 6-hour period. (Enter a number. Round your answer to two decimal places.)
(c) Find the probability that a fisherman selected at random fishing from shore catches two or more fish in a 6-hour period. (Enter a number. Round your answer to two decimal places.)
(d) Compute μ, the expected value of the number of fish caught per fisherman in a 6-hour period (round 4 or more to 4). (Enter a number. Round your answer to two decimal places.)
μ =
fish
(e) Compute σ, the standard deviation of the number of fish caught per fisherman in a 6-hour period (round 4 or more to 4). (Enter a number. Round your answer to three decimal places.)
σ =
fish
MATH 120 AMU QUIZ 4 question 3
question Sociologists say that 85% of married women claim that their husband’s mother is the biggest bone of contention in their marriages (sex and money are lower-rated areas of contention). Suppose that twelve married women are having coffee together one morning. Find the following probabilities. (For each answer, enter a number. Round your answers to three decimal places.)
(a) All of them dislike their mother-in-law.
(b) None of them dislike their mother-in-law.
(c) At least ten of them dislike their mother-in-law.
(d) No more than nine of them dislike their mother-in-law.
MATH 120 AMU QUIZ 4 question 4
question The quality-control inspector of a production plant will reject a batch of syringes if two or more defective syringes are found in a random sample of twelve syringes taken from the batch. Suppose the batch contains 5% defective syringes.
(a) Make a histogram showing the probabilities of r = 0, 1, 2, 3, …, 11 and 12 defective syringes in a random sample of twelve syringes. (Select the correct graph.)
