1) A personnel manager of a large manufacturing plant is investigating the number of reported on-the-job accidents at the facility over the past several years. Let X be the number of such accidents reported during a 1 month period. Based on past records, the manager has established the probability distribution for X as shown in the data below.

A. Generate 400 values of this random variable X with the given probability distribution using simulation.
B. Compare the distribution of simulated values to the given probability distribution. Is the simulated distribution indicative of the given probability distribution? Explain why or why not.
Solution :
py is empirical probability distribution based on random sample of
size 400 that we have generated from given probability distribution
of X .
We can observed that Py and Px are nearly same .

A purchasing manager for a large university is investigating which brand of LCD projector to purchase to equip "smart" classrooms. Of major concern is the longevity of the light bulbs used in the projectors. The purchasing manager has narrowed down the choice of projector to two brands, Infocus and Proxima, and wishes to determine if there is any difference between the two brands in the mean lifetime of the bulbs used. The purchasing manager obtained...
Lesson 6.2.4: Binomial Distribution and Sample Proportions A sample proportion, such as the one computed in Question 4, is equal to a number of successes (x), divided by the sample size (n). The notation for a sample proportion is p, and it is computed by the formula p = Each value of x corresponds to a unique sample proportion ( p ), as computed by this formula. For example, x = 1 implies p = + - 0.10. These events,...
