STATISTICS
The American Council of Education reported that 47% of college freshmen earn a degree and graduate within five years (Associated Press, May 6, 2002). Assume that graduation records show women make up 50% of the students who graduated within five years, but only 45% of the students who did not graduate within five years. The students who had not graduated within five years either dropped out or were still working on their degrees.
a. Let A _ { 1 } = A 1
= the student graduated within five years
A _ { 2 } = A 2
= the student did not graduate within five years
W =
W= the student is a female student Using the given information, what are the values for
P \left( A _ { 1 } \right) , P \left( A _ { 2 } \right) , P ( W | A _ { 1 } ) ,
P(A 1 ),P(A 2 ),P(W∣A 1 ), and
P ( W | A _ { 2 } ) ?
P(W∣A 2 )?
b. What is the probability that a female student will graduate within five years? c. What is the probability that a male student will graduate within five years? d. Given the preceding results, what are the percentage of women and the percentage of men in the entering freshman class?
Verified answer PROBABILITY
Of 45 people who purchase a phone at an electronics store, 40 purchased a smartphone. Determine the empirical probability that the next person who purchases a phone from that store purchases a smartphone.
Verified answer STATISTICS
Determine whether the study is an observational study or an experiment. Explain. Researchers demonstrated in people at risk for increased cardiovascular disease that 2000 milligrams per day of acetyl-L-carnitine over a 24-week period lowered blood pressure and improved insulin resistance.
Verified answer STATISTICS
Find the indicated probabilities using the geometric distribution, the Poisson distribution, or the binomial distribution. Then determine whether the events are unusual. If convenient, use a table or technology to find the probabilities. During a 12-year period, sharks killed an average of 5 people each year worldwide. Find the probability that the number of people killed by sharks next year is (a) exactly three, (b) more than six, and (c) at most five.
