Color-blind men About7%of men in the United States have some form of red-green color blindness. Suppose we randomly select one U.S. adult male at a time until we find one who is red-green color-blind. How many men would we expect to choose, on average? Design and carry out a simulation to answer this question. Follow the four-step process.

Short Answer

The result will be between 1 and20

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information  

Proportion of men in the United States having some form of red-green color blindness = 0.07

Random sample size of U.S adults,n=4

We have to find the probability that at least one of them is red-green color-blind using the four-step process of designing and carrying out simulation.

02

Step 2. Concept Used 

We can't foresee the outcomes of a chance process, yet they have a regular distribution over a large number of repetitions. According to the law of large numbers, the fraction of times a specific event occurs in numerous repetitions approaches a single number. The likelihood of a chance outcome is its long-run relative frequency. A probability is a number between 0 (never happens) and 1 (happens frequently) (always occurs).

03

Step 3. Explanation     

Use two-digit numbers instead of three-digit numbers. Allow the numerals 00to 06to symbolize a person who is colorblind in the red-green spectrum. Allow the numbers 07 to 99 to represent a person who is not colorblind to red and green. Count how many two-digit numbers you'll need to find the first person with red-green colorblindness. Rep this simulation as many times as you like. Until the first person with red-green colour blindness is located, you will most likely get a result of between 1 and 20 needed numbers.

Preparing for the GMAT A company that offers courses to prepare students for the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) has the following information about its customers: 20% are currently undergraduate students in business; 15% are undergraduate students in other fields of study; 60% are

college graduates who are currently employed, and 5%are college graduates who are not employed. Choose a customer at random.

(a) What’s the probability that the customer is currently an undergraduate? Which rule of probability did you use to find the answer?

(b) What’s the probability that the customer is not an undergraduate business student? Which rule of probability did you use to find the answer?

Who eats breakfast? The two-way table describes the 595 students who responded to a school survey about eating breakfast. Suppose we select a student at random. Consider events B: eats breakfast regularly, and M: is male.

(a) Find P(B|M) Explain what this value means.

(b) FindP(M|B) Explain what this value means.

Treating low bone density (4.2) Fractures of the spine are common and serious among women with advanced osteoporosis (low mineral density in the

bones). Can taking strontium ranelate help? A large medical trial assigned 1649 women to take either strontium ranelate or a placebo each day. All of

the subjects had osteoporosis and had had at least one fracture. All were taking calcium supplements and receiving standard medical care. The response variables were measurements of bone density and counts of new fractures over three years. The subjects were treated at 10 medical centers in 10 different countries.9 Outline an appropriate design for this experiment. Explain why this is the proper design.

Sampling senators The two-way table describes the members of the U.S. Senate in a recent year. Suppose we select a senator at random. Consider events D: is a democrat, and F: is female.

(a) Find P(D | F). Explain what this value means.

(b) Find P(F | D). Explain what this value means.

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?
