Study Notes
Quality Control in Candy Production
- Weight of candies believed to be normally distributed with a mean of 720 mg.
- The interval containing the largest proportion of candies is from 700 mg to 740 mg.
Blind Taste Test Probability
- Conducted with 9 volunteers to distinguish between bottled and tap water.
- Probability that at least 8 participants correctly identify tap water is 0.0195.
Expected Value of Random Draws
- Two boxes with different tag numbers: 10 tags (1-10) and 8 tags (20-27).
- Expected value of the sum of randomly drawn tags from both boxes is 29.0.
Carnival Game Strategy
- Player must choose the number of dice (2, 4, 6, 8, or 10) to maximize chances of winning.
- Best choice is to roll two dice to maximize the probability of getting a 1 or 2.
CD Cover Design Experiment
- Comparison of two CD cover designs across 70 stores.
- Conclusion: It is reasonable to attribute sales difference to the cover designs due to random assignment of designs to stores.
Profit Calculation in Concrete Sales
- Probability distribution for cubic yards of concrete sold: X values of 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 with corresponding probabilities.
- Expected value of X is 19.25; standard deviation is 5.76.
- Profit formula is Y = 75X - 100; the standard deviation of profit (Y) is $432.
Fleece Weight Analysis
- Two farms producing fleece: Northern (mean 14.1 lbs, SD 1.3 lbs) and Western (mean 6.7 lbs, SD 0.5 lbs).
- Total weight W from 10 Northern sheep and 15 Western sheep requires calculating standard deviation.
- Standard deviation of W is determined by √(10(1.3)² + 15(0.5)²).
