Unit 9 Day 12 CH 14 & 15 Partner Test

Last updated over 4 years ago
34 questions
1. This is a partner test. I am assessing your understanding level of the material we have covered.
2. The test should be done with only the assistance of your notes, class slide decks or the posted Ch. 9 & 10 slide decks and your partner. You should not request or accept the assistance of a friend, family member or neighbor. Submitting answers and/or work done by or with the assistance of someone else is grounds for an Academic Integrity write-up.

After reading the text above, select your response.

To be clear, selecting "No" does not free you of the consequences of your actions. Rather, it means I will disable your test until we can talk one-on-one so that you better understand before proceeding.

A wildlife biologist examines frogs for a genetic trait he suspects may be linked to sensitivity to industrial toxins in the environment. Previous research had established that this trait is usually found in 1 of every 7 frogs. (this is the probability)
He collects and examines a dozen frogs from a large industrial area.
Assume the frequency(probability) of the trait has not changed.
Is this scenario a Bernoulli Trial?
How do you know?
Select 5 answers.

Using the information above, give the Binomial Model that we will be using:

Keep the probability as a decimal.

To determine the exact probability that the wildlife biologist finds the trait in none of the 12 frogs, what function will you use?

What’s the probability he finds the trait in no more than 4 frogs?
Hint: Choose carefully- binompdf or binomcdf
Enter your answer as a decimal rounded to three places.

4

What’s the probability he finds the trait in at least 2 of the frogs?
Choose carefully- binompdf or binomcdf
Remember: 'at least' makes us think of the complement. P(at least 2 of the frogs)=1- P(no more than...

Enter your answer as a decimal rounded to three places.

Probability models are used when there are more than two possible outcomes and they each have different probabilities of occuring.

In a litter of seven kittens, four are female. You pick two kittens at random and record the number of male kittens. Use the amount of kittens to figure out the probability of each outcome.
Be careful, the probability of choosing each of the kittens (1st vs 2nd) is different since they are not replaced.

*** order matters when choosing kittens, so for one male kitten it could be: M,F OR F,M*** take this into consideration when finding the probability of getting one male kitten.

Fill in the table to create a Probability Model.

4

Is your probability model valid? (it needs to be!)
How do you know? Use statistical reasons to explain.

4

If a family comes to visit and wants to pick out two kittens, use your probability model to find the expected number of male kittens that they will take home.

Use the TI-84 Calculator, Stat, Edit, enter the values into L1 and L2, then use Stat, Calc, 1-VarStats.
Enter the answer as a decimal rounded to three places.

2

Explain what the answer to #15 means in the context of the number of male kittens.

4

If a family comes to visit and wants to pick out two kittens, use your probability model to find the standard deviation for the number of male kittens chosen to take home.

Use the TI-84 Calculator, enter the values into L1 and L2, then use 1-VarStats.
Enter the standard deviation as a decimal rounded to three places.

2

Explain the meaning for the standard deviation in this scenario.

In one city, police estimate that 82% of drivers wear their seat belts. They set up a safety roadblock and they stop drivers to check for seat belt use. If 160 drivers are stopped, what's the probability they find no more than 140 wearing their seat belts?

Can you estimate the probability using the Normal Model?
Select 3 answers.

4

In one city, police estimate that 82% of drivers wear their seat belts. They set up a safety roadblock and they stop drivers to check for seat belt use. If 160 drivers are stopped, would it be unusual for the police to find 140 drivers wearing their seatbelts?

1st calculate the expected value(this is the mean) and the standard deviation, write them down.


2nd calculate the z-score. Enter it below rounded to three places past the decimal point.

4

In one city, police estimate that 82% of drivers wear their seat belts. They set up a safety roadblock and they stop drivers to check for seat belt use. If 160 drivers are stopped and the police to found 140 drivers wearing their seatbelts, would this be statistically significant?

Explain why or why not using statistical information we have discussed in class.

4

In one city, police estimate that 82% of drivers wear their seat belts. They set up a safety roadblock and they stop drivers to check for seat belt use. The police stopped 160 drivers.

Now that you've calculated the z-score. Use the Normal Model to estimate the probability that no more than 140 drivers will have on their seatbelts.

Use 2nd, Vars, Normalcdf, you will need to decide the lower and upper limits.
IF you need Upper Infinity use: 99
IF you need lower infinity use: -99
USE the Z-score from #21.
Enter your answer as a decimal rounded to three places.

In one city, police estimate that 82% of drivers wear their seat belts. They set up a safety roadblock and they stop drivers to check for seat belt use. The police stopped 160 drivers.

Use the Binomial Model to find the EXACT probability that no more than 140 of them suffer from manic-depressive illness.
Use 2nd, Vars, Binom... (you need to decide if you should use binompdf or binomcdf)
Enter your answer as a decimal rounded to three places.

4

Compare the results from the two models. Did the Normal Model over or underpredict the probability?
How do you know?

4

In one city, police estimate that 78% of drivers wear their seat belts. They set up a safety roadblock and they stop drivers to check for seat belt use. The police stopped 160 drivers.

Use the Binomial Model to find the EXACT probability that exactly 134 of them have their seatbelts on.

Use 2nd, Vars, Binom... (you need to decide if you should use binompdf or binomcdf)
Enter your answer as a decimal rounded to three places.
