Chapter 4: Q.69 (page 287)

Suppose that the PDF for the number of years it takes to earn a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree is given in Table 4.31.

a. In words, define the random variable X.

b. What does it mean that the values zero, one, and two are not included for x in the PDF?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a).Xis a arbitrary variable which represents the no. of times taken by an individual to earn the Maids of Science degree.

(b). Since to complete a bachelorette's degree, minimal no. of times of study is needed is 3. We haven't included 0,1 and 2.

Step by step solution

01

:Interpretation 

(A) .X is a arbitrary variable which represents the no. of times taken by an individual to earn the Maids of Science degree.

02

Step 2:Interpretation 

(B).Given

Minimal three times of education is needed to complete the scale which means no bone can get a degree in0,1and2times. It's obligatory to study for three times to get Maids of Science degree.

Use the following information to answer the next six exercises: The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA collected data from 203,967 incoming first-time, full-time freshmen from 270 four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. 71.3% of those students replied that, yes, they believe that same-sex couples should have the right to legal marital status. Suppose that you randomly select freshman from the study until you find one who replies 鈥測es.鈥� You are interested in the number of freshmen you must ask.
