Answer 1:

a. n(events) =10
According to question there can only be 2 possibilities
● Teenagers who use Pandora Music Inc.’s online Radio service
● Teenagers who do not use Pandora Music Inc.’s online Radio service
Hence the given Experiment is a binomial experiment.

b. The probability that none of the 10 teenagers use Pandora Media Inc.’s online radio
service is :
n=10 , p = 0.35

Probability mass function of Binomial Distribution :

P(X=x) = px(1-p)n-x . x=0,1,2,……n

P(X=0) = (0.35)0(1-0.35)10-0

The probability that none of the 10 teenagers use Pandora Media Inc.’s online radio
service is : 0.0135

c. The probability that 4 of the 10 teenagers use Pandora Media Inc.’s online radio service
is :

= 0.2377
The probability that 4 of the 10 teenagers use Pandora Media Inc.’s online radio
service is 0.2377
d. The probability that at least 2 of the 10 teenagers use Pandora Media Inc.’s online radio
service is :

The probability that at least 2 of the 10 teenagers use Pandora Media Inc.’s online
radio service is 0.9140

Answer 2:

Let X be a random variable denoting the number of appeals that will be successful

Probability ( Successful appeal ) i.e. 40% = 0.4

a. Probability that none of the appeals will be successful is

(rounded to 4 decimal places)

The probability that none of the appeals will be successful is 0.0061.

b. The probability that exactly one of the appeals will be successful is :

The probability that exactly one of the appeals will be successful is 0.0403.

c. The probability that at least two of the appeals will be successful is

The probability that at least two of the appeals will be successful is 0.9536.

d. The probability that more than half of the appeals will be successful:

The probability that more than half of the appeals will be successful is 0.1662.

Answer 3

μ1-bar-USA = $3.73

μ 2-bar-Russia = $3.40

σ1-USA = $0.25

σ2-Russia = $0.20

a. The probability that a randomly selected gas station in the United States charges less
than $3.50 per gallon = P(x < 3.5)
z = (x - μ)/σ = (3.50 - 3.73)/0.25 = - 0.92
P(x < 3.50) = P(z < -0.92)
P(x < 3.50) = P(z < -0.92) = 0.17879
 The probability that a randomly selected gas station in the United States charges
less than $3.50 per gallon : 0.17879

b. Percentage of the gas stations in Russia charge less than $3.50 per gallon.

z-score for Russia is-

So, probability of P (z<0.5) is-

P (z<0.5) = 0.6915

Percentage of gas stations in Russia charge less than $3.50 per gallon is 69.15%.

C . μ1-bar-USA = $3.73

3.73  3.40
z  1.65
x = 3.73, .20

P( z  1.65)  1  P( z  1.65)  1  .9505  .0495

P( x  3.73)  .0495

The probability that a randomly selected gas station in Russia charged more than the
mean price in the United States : 0.495

Answer 4

Let X be a random variable as family expense of weekend.

X is normal distribution with µ= 749, σ= 225.

Thus, X~N (749, 225).

a. The probability of family expenses for the weekend being less that $400 is :

b. The probability of family expenses for the weekend being $800 or more is:

c. The probability that family expenses for the weekend will be between $500 and $1000 is:

d . Labor Day weekend expenses have to be for the 5% of the families with the most
expensive travel plans :

The upper 5%, or area = 1 .05 .95 occurs for z 1.645

x    z = 749 + 1.645(225) = $1119

The Labor Day weekend expenses have to be for the 5% of the families with the most
expensive travel plans : $1119

Answer 5

a. The probability that the room costs $225 or more is :

Mean
 Std. Dev

The probability that the room costs $225 or more is : 0.35197

b. The probability that the room costs less than $140 is :

The probability that the room costs less than $140 is : 0.03515

c. The probability that room rent will fall in between $200 and $300 :

a = 200

b = 300

For “Standard Normal Table” area to the left of z <=0.072 is 0.47210 and and z <=1.74
is 0.95818
Hence The probability that room rent will fall in between $200 and $300 : 0.4861

d. Cost of 20% most expensive room is :
