oceans. Four of the ocean water samples are chosen using simple random sampling.
Find the probability that all the Pacific ocean samples are chosen. - ANSWER 1/5
A random sample X1�1, X2�2, ..., X10�10 is drawn from a normal distribution with variance 12. Let X¯�¯
be the sample mean.
Let χ2p,ν��,�2 be the 100p�th percentile of a chi-squared random variable with ν� degrees of freedom.
The following table lists values of χ2p,ν��,�2 for specific combinations of p� and ν�:
Find the probability that ∑10i=1(Xi−X¯)2∑�=110(��−�¯)2 is greater than 120. - ANSWER At least 0.3, but
less than 0.4
A manufacturer makes golf balls with a mean weight of 1.62 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.05
ounces. A random sample of 100 balls are taken.
Using the Central Limit Theorem, approximate the probability that the sample mean weight of the 100
balls is between 1.615 and 1.625 ounces. - ANSWER 0.68
IPO returns from the real estate sector are normally distributed with mean μ�. An analyst takes a
random sample of 12 IPOs from the real estate sector.
Let X¯�¯ and S2�2 be the sample mean and sample variance of the 12 IPO returns, respectively.
,Let tp,ν��,� be the 100p�th percentile of a t� random variable with ν� degrees of freedom. The
following table lists values of tp,ν��,� for specific combinations of p� and ν�:
What is the probability that X¯−μS�¯−�� is less than 0.51? - ANSWER 0.95
You are given the following information from a random sample:
Xi�� is normally distributed with mean 1 and variance 2.
Sample size is 20.
S2�2 is the unbiased sample variance.
Let χ2p,ν��,�2 be the 100p�th percentile of a chi-squared random variable with ν� degrees of freedom.
The following table lists values of χ2p,ν��,�2 for specific combinations of p� and ν�:
Calculate c�, such that Pr(S2≤c)=0.95Pr(�2≤�)=0.95. - ANSWER At least 3.1
A random sample X1�1, X2�2, ..., Xn�� is drawn from a normal distribution with mean μ�.
You are given:
X¯�¯ is the sample mean.
S� is the unbiased sample standard deviation.
V=X¯−μS/n−−√�=�¯−��/�
The 20th percentile of V� is −0.8583−0.8583.
Calculate Pr(|V|<0.8583)Pr(|�|<0.8583). - ANSWER 0.6
A class has 8 boys and 7 girls. Using simple random sampling, the teacher selects 3 of the children for a
special project.
Calculate the probability that two girls and one boy are selected. - ANSWER 0.369
Out of 50 basketball players trying to make a team, 5 will be chosen. 36 of the 50 are seniors and the
remaining players are juniors. The manager wants 2 seniors and 3 juniors to make the team.
What is the probability of meeting the manager's objectives if players were selected by simple random
sampling? - ANSWER 0.108
, You are given the following information about a random sample of claim amounts:
Claim severity follows a Pareto distribution with α=3�=3 and θ=50�=50, with mean and variance given by
mean=θα−1,variance=2θ2(α−2)(α−1)−(θα−1)2mean=��−1,variance=2�2(�−2)(�−1)−(��−1)2
The sample size is 100.
Using the Central Limit Theorem, calculate the probability that the sample mean claim amount will lie
between 30 and 35. - ANSWER At least 8%
Claims filed under a group of auto insurance policies have normally distributed amounts with mean
19,400 and standard deviation 5,000. A random sample of 25 claims are taken.
What is the probability that the average of the 25 claim amounts exceeds 20,000? - ANSWER 0.27
An auto insurer has a random sample of 800 claims. The claim amounts have a mean of 2,000 and a
variance of 136,875.
Using the Central Limit Theorem, approximate the 99th percentile of the total claim amount from the
sample. - ANSWER 1,624,000
Net profits from movies filmed by Merdeka Studios follow a normal distribution with mean 2.7. A
random sample of six movies are examined.
Let tp,ν��,� be the 100p�th percentile of a t� random variable with ν� degrees of freedom. The
following table lists values of tp,ν��,� for specific combinations of p� and ν�:
Find the probability that the sample mean net profit is greater than 2.7 minus three-fourths of the
sample standard deviation. - ANSWER At least 0.93, but less than 0.94
Let X1�1, X2�2, ..., Xn�� denote a random sample from a normal distribution with variance σ2�2.
