Chapter 5: Q 109. (page 333)

Life at work (1.1) The University of Chicago’s General Social Survey asked a representative sample of adults this question: “Which of the following statements best describes how your daily work is organized? (1) I am free to decide how my daily work is organized. (2) I can decide how my daily work is organized, within certain limits. (3) I am not free to decide how my daily work is organized.” Here is a two-way table of the responses for three levels of education:240 Is there an association between level of education and freedom to organize one’s work? Give graphical and numerical evidence to support your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

P (at least one of two underweight) = 0.245

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information

μ=26.8σ=7.4

02

Step 2. Concept used

Complement rule: P(notA)=1−P(A)

03

Step 3. Calculation

Each bar's width must be equal, and its height must be equal to the frequency. P(notA)=1−P(A)

It should be noticed that the response level distribution(1,2,3) for each category of maximum degree completed is not the same (proportion of response level 3 is lower for bachelor's degree than or less than high school degree).

This implies that there is a link between one's educational degree and their response to the flexibility to organize one's work.

Probability models? In each of the following situations, state whether or not the given assignment of probabilities to individual outcomes is legitimate, that is, satisfies the rules of probability. If not, give specific reasons for your answer.

(a) Roll a die and record the count of spots on the up-face: P(1) = 0, P(2) = 1/6, P(3) = 1/3, P(4) = 1/3,

P(5) = 1/6, P(6) = 0.

(b) Choose a college student at random and record gender and enrollment status: P(female full-time) = 0.56, P(male full-time) = 0.44, P(female part-time) = 0.24, P(male part-time) = 0.17.

(c) Deal a card from a shuffled deck: P(clubs) = 12/52, P(diamonds) = 12/52, P(hearts) = 12/52,

P(spades) = 16/52.

Blood types All human blood can be typed as one of O,A,B,or AB,but the distribution of the types varies a bit with race. Here is the distribution of the blood type of a randomly chosen black American: Blood type: OABABProbability: 0.490.270.20?

(a) What is the probability of type AB blood? Why?

(b) What is the probability that the person chosen does not have type ABblood?

(c) Maria has type Bblood. She can safely receive blood transfusions from people with blood types Oand BWhat is the probability that a randomly chosen black American can donate blood to Maria?

A Titanic disaster In 1912the luxury liner Titanic, on its first voyage across the Atlantic, struck an iceberg and sank. Some passengers got off the ship in lifeboats, but many died. The two-way table gives information about adult passengers who lived and who died, by class of travel. Suppose we choose an adult passenger at random.

(a) Given that the person selected was in first class, what’s the probability that he or she survived?

(b) If the person selected survived, what’s the probability that he or she was a third-class passenger?
