Auto emissions The amount of nitrogen oxides {NOX}) present in the exhaust of a particular type of car varies from car to car according to a Normal distribution with mean 1.4grams per mile (g/mi) and standard deviation 0.3g/mi. Two randomly selected cars of this type are tested. One has 1.1g/miof NOX; the other has 1.9g/mi. The test station attendant finds this difference in emissions between two similar cars surprising. if the NOX levels for two randomly chosen cars of this type are independent, find the probability that the difference is at least as large as the value the attendant observed.follow the four-step process.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The difference might be as much as 0.8grammes every mile, according to 2.94percent of the time.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Given in the question that, the amount of nitrogen oxides {NOX}) present in the exhaust of a particular type of car varies from car to car according to a Normal distribution with mean 1.4grams per mile and standard deviation 0.3grams per mile

02

 Explanation

Consider X1and X2as the random variables, which showing the amount of nitrogen oxides present in the randomly selected cars.

Let's define a variable D=X1X2

We have to find the PX1X20.80

According to the information, the NOX levels of two cars of this type are independent.

Therefore mean of Dis

D=X1+X2=1.41.4=0

The standard deviation of Dis:

localid="1649864820999" D=X12+X22=0.32+0.32=0.424

03

The probability that the entire process will take less than 30 seconds. 

We have to find the probability that the entire process will take less than 30seconds. that is

P(D0.80)

First we standardize D=0.80

z=x-DD=0.8000.424=1.89

Using a table of typical normal probabilities as a guide,

P(Z<1.89orZ>1.89)=2P(Z<1.89)=20.0294=0.0588

Spoofing (4.2) To collect information such as passwords, online criminals use "spoofing" to direct Internet users to fraudulent websites. In one study of Internet fraud, students were warned about spoofing and then asked to log into their university account starting from the university's home page. In some cases, the log-in link led to the genuine dialog box. In others, the box looked genuine but, in fact, was linked to a different site that recorded the ID and password the student entered. The box that appeared for each student was determined at random. An alert student could detect the fraud by looking at the true Internet address displayed in the browser status bar, but most just entered their ID and password.

a. Is this an observational study or an experiment? Justify your answer.

b. What are the explanatory and response variables? Identify each variable as categorical or quantitative.

Kids and toys In an experiment on the behavior of young children, each subject is placed in an area with five toys. Past experiments have shown that the probability distribution of the number X of toys played with by a randomly selected subject is as follows:

Part (a). Write the event 鈥渃hild plays with 5 toys鈥 in terms of X. Then find its probability.

Part (b). What鈥檚 the probability that a randomly selected subject plays with at most 3 toys?

Airlines typically accept more reservations for a flight than the number of seats on the plane. Suppose that for a certain route, an airline accepts 40reservations on a plane that carries 38passengers. Based on experience, the probability distribution of Y=the number of passengers who actually show up for a randomly selected flight is given in the following table. You can check that Y=37.4andY=1.24.

There is also a crew of two flight attendants and two pilots on each flight. Let X=the total number of people (passengers plus crew) on a randomly selected flight.

a. Make a graph of the probability distribution of X. Describe its shape.

b. Find and interpret role="math" X.

c. Calculate and interpret X.

Red light! Pedro drives the same route to work on Monday through Friday. His route includes one traffic light. According to the local traffic department, there is a 55%chance

that the light will be red on a randomly selected work day. Suppose we choose 10 of Pedro's work days at random and let Y= the number of times that the light is red. Make a graph of the probability distribution of Y . Describe its shape.

Class is over! Mr. Shrager does not always let his statistics class out on time. In fact, he

seems to end class according to his own 鈥渋nternal clock.鈥 The density curve here models

the distribution of Y, the amount of time after class ends (in minutes) when Mr. Shrager

dismisses the class on a randomly selected day. (A negative value indicates he ended class

early.)

a) Find and interpret P(1Y1).

b) What is Y ? Explain your answer.

c)Find the value of k that makes this statement true: localid="1654015283453" P(Yk)=0.25
