Last year, a person wrote 115 checks. Let the random variable x represent the number of checks he wrote in one day, and assume that it has a Poisson distribution. What is the mean number of checks written per day? What is the standard deviation? What is the variance? (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
8. Let the random variable x represent the number of girls in a family with three children. Assume the probability of a child being a girl is 0.35 The table on the right describes the probability of having x number of girls. Determine whether the table describes a probability distribution. If it does, find the mean and standard deviation. Is it unusual for a family of three children to consist of three girls? x P(x) 0 0.275 1 0.444 2 ...
In a recent year, an author wrote 197 checks. Use the Poisson distribution to find the probability that, on a randomly selected day, he wrote at least one check The probability is Round to three decimal places as needed)
lif X 5.3.16-T son help In a recent year, an author wrote 182 checks. Use the Poisson distribution to find the probability that on a randomly selected day, he wrote at least one check The probability is (Round to three decanal places as needed)
Let the random variable x represent the number of girls in a family with three children. Assume the probability of a child being a girl is 0.31. The table on the right describes the probability of having x number of girls. Determine whether the table describes a probability distribution. If it does, find the mean and standard deviation. Is it unusual for a family of three children to consist of three girls? 0 1 2 3 P(x) 0.329 0.443 0.199...
Let random variable x represent the number of heads when a fair coin is tossed two times. a) construct a table describing probability distribution b) determine the mean and standard deviation of x (round to 2 decimal places)
In analyzing patient admissions at a hospital, it is found that 34,190 patients were admitted in a recent year. Let the random variable x represent the number of patient admissions in one day, and assume that it has a Poisson distribution. What is the standard deviation for the values of the random variable x? What is the variance? Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Question Help In a recent year, a hospital had 4145 births. Find the mean number of births per day, then use that result and the Poisson distribution to find the probability that in a day, there are 13 births. Does it appear likely that on any given day, there will be exactly 13 births? The mean number of births per day is (Round to one decimal place as needed.) The probability that, in a day, there are 13 births is...
Question 13 Let X represent the full height of a certain species of tree. Assume that X has a normal probability distribution with u = 229.8 ft and o = 48.3 ft. You intend to measure a random sample of n = 229 trees. What is the mean of the distribution of sample means? Hz What is the standard deviation of the distribution of sample means (i.e., the standard error in estimating the mean)? (Report answer accurate to 2 decimal...
A number is selected at random from 3,7,11,15, . . . , 127. Let x be the number chosen. Compute the mean and standard deviation for this random variable
