In the population, 8% of males have had a kidney
stone. Suppose a medical researcher randomly selects two males from
a large population.
Let A represent the event "the first male has had a
kidney stone."
Let B represent the event "the second male has had a
kidney stone."
True or false? A and B are independent
events.
Homework Answers
True. A and B are independent events. Since probability of the first male having a kidney stone is not affected by the probability of the second male having a kidney stone.

In a previous study, 180 randomly selected adult males had their weights taken that resulted in a standard deviation of 18.05 kg. Current researchers plan to study the weights of male medical students. How many male medical students must be weighed to estimate the mean weight of all male medical students? They have assumed that weights of male medical students have less variation than weights of the population of adult males and plan to let σ = 18.05 kg. Additionally,...

Suppose the heights of adult males in a population have a normal distribution with mean µ = 71 inches and standard deviation σ = 3 inches. Two unrelated men will be randomly sampled. Let X = height of the first man and Y = height of the second man. (a) Consider D = X − Y , the difference between the heights of the two men. What type of distribution will the variable D have? (b) What is the mean...

Two thousand randomly selected adults were asked whether or not they have ever shopped on the Internet. The following table gives a two-way classification of the responses. Have Shopped Have Never Shopped Male 500 700 Female 300 500 Suppose one adult is selected at random from these 2000 adults. Find the following probabilities. Round your answers to four decimal places. P(has never shopped on the Internet or is a female) P(is a male or has shopped on the Internet) P(has...

A sugar box manufacturing company is accurately making 100 g packets. Suppose a business researcher randomly selects 100 boxes, weighs each of them and computes its mean. Due to non-random selection or by chance, a researcher selects packets that have not been adequately filled and that is how he gets the mean weight of 98 g, which falls in the rejection region. The decision is to reject the null hypothesis even though the population mean is actually 100 g. Which kind of...

6. Of all people in one population, 21% have high blood pressure and 36% are overweight. In addition, 42% of people who are overweight also have high blood pressure. Let H represent the event that a person has high blood pressure, and O represent the event that a person is overweight. In each part of this question, you must first express each probability in terms of the events Hand O and justify any computation through the use of a formula....

A researcher at a large university wanted to investigate if a
student's seat preference was related in any way to the gender of
the student. The researcher divided the lecture room into three
sections (1-front, middle of the room, 2-front, sides of the
classroom, and 3-back of the classroom, both middle and sides) and
noted where his students sat on a particular day of the class. The
researcher's summary table is provided below.

The distribution of serum cholesterol levels for the general population of adult males in the United...
The distribution of serum cholesterol levels for the general population of adult males in the United States is normal with a mean of 211 mg/dL and a standard deviation of 46 mg/dL. A researcher wishes to know if adult males who are hypertensive and who smoke differ significantly from this general population with regards to their serum cholesterol levels. The researcher randomly selects 25 adult male hypertensive smokers, measures their serum cholesterol levels, and calculates a mean of 217 mg/dL...

3. large-scale currently h medi study was conducted to estimate the difference in the proportion of male and female adults who ave medical coverage. A sample of 1,200 randomly selected adult males found that 852 currently had cal coverage. An independent sample of 1,400 randomly selected adult females found that 938 currently had coverage. If we let pı represent the proportion of all adult males who currently have medical coverage p> the proportion of all adult females who currently have...
