Chapter 3 Probability True/False 1. A contingency table is a tabular summary of probabilities concerning two sets of complementary events. Answer: True Difficulty: Medium 2. An event is a collection of sample space outcomes. Answer: True Difficulty: Easy 3. Two events are independent if the probability of one event is influenced by whether or not the other event occurs. Answer: False Difficulty: Medium 4. Mutually exclusive events have a nonempty

A group of investors wants to develop a chain of fast-food restaurants. In determining potential costs for each facility‚ they must consider‚ among other expenses‚ the average monthly electric bill. They decide to sample some fast-food restaurants currently operating to estimate the monthly cost of electricity. They want to be 90% confident of their results and want the error of the interval estimate to be no more than $100. They estimate that such bills range from $600 to $2‚500. How large a sample

companies and the probability of getting a job offer there. These data are tabulated below. The tabulation is in the decreasing order of cost. 1. If the graduate applies to all 10 companies‚ what is the probability that she will get at least one offer? 2. If she can apply to only one company‚ base on cost and success probability criteria alone‚ should she apply to company 5? Why or why not? 3. If she applies to companies 2‚5‚8‚ and 9‚ what is the total cost? What is the probability that she will

The Poisson probability distribution‚ named after the French mathematician Siméon-Denis. Poisson is another important probability distribution of a discrete random variable that has a large number of applications. Suppose a washing machine in a Laundromat breaks down an average of three times a month. We may want to find the probability of exactly two breakdowns during the next month. This is an example of a Poisson probability distribution problem. Each breakdown is called an occurrence in Poisson

Ans.1: Non-Probability Sampling: When the units of a sample are chosen so that each unit in the population does not have a calculable non-zero probability of being selected in the sample‚ this is called Non-Probability Sampling. Also‚ Non-probability sampling is a sampling technique where the samples are gathered in a process that does not give all the individuals in the population equal chances of being selected. In contrast with probability sampling‚ non-probability sample is not a product
