Chapter 5: Q. 25 (page 312)

To simulate the number of makes in 10shot attempts, you would perform the simulation as follows:

a. Use 10random one-digit numbers, where 0-4are a make and 5-9are a miss.

b. Use 10random two-digit numbers, where 00-46are a make and 47-99are a miss.

c. Use 10random two-digit numbers, where 00-47are a make and 48-99are a miss.

d. Use 47random one-digit numbers, where 0is a make and 1-9are a miss.

e. Use 47random two-digit numbers, where 00-46 are a make and 47-99 are a miss.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is (b).

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Explanation for correct option

True, because the 47%probability ( 47out of 100number in a hit).

Use 10random two-digit numbers, where 00-46is a make and 47-99are a miss.

Therefore, correct option is option (b).

02

Step 2. Explanation for incorrect options

(a) False, because the there is 50%probability (5out of the 100numbers in a hit) instead of 47%.


(c) False, because of 48%probability rather than 47%(48out of the 100digit numbers in a hit).


(d) False, because of 10%probability rather than 47%(1out of 10digit numbers in a hit).


(e) False, because there should make 10simulations for 10shots rather than 47simulations.

Who’s paying? Abigail, Bobby, Carlos, DeAnna, and Emily go to the bagel shop for lunch every Thursday. Each time, they randomly pick 2of the group to pay for lunch by drawing names from a hat.

a. Give a probability model for this chance process.

b. Find the probability that Carlos or DeAnna (or both) ends up paying for lunch.

Which of the following is a correct way to perform the simulation?

a. Let integers from 1to34represent making a free throw and 35to50represent missing a free throw. Generate 50random integers from1to50. Count the number

of made free throws. Repeat this process many times.

b. Let integers from 1to34represent making a free throw and 35to50represent missing a free throw. Generate 50 random integers from 1 to 50 with no repeats

allowed. Count the number of made free throws. Repeat this process many times.

c. Let integers from1to56represent making a free throw and 57to100represent missing a free throw. Generate 50 random integers from1to100.Count the number of made free throws. Repeat this process many times.

d. Let integers from localid="1653986588937" 1to56represent making a free throw and localid="1653986593808" 57to100represent missing a free throw. Generate 50 random integers from localid="1653986598680" 1to100with no repeats allowed. Count the number of made free throws. Repeat this process many times.

e. None of the above is correct.

Does the new hire use drugs? Many employers require prospective employees to

take a drug test. A positive result on this test suggests that the prospective employee uses

illegal drugs. However, not all people who test positive use illegal drugs. The test result

could be a false positive. A negative test result could be a false negative if the person

really does use illegal drugs. Suppose that 4%of prospective employees use drugs and

that the drug test has a false positive rate of 5%and a false negative rate of10%.

Imagine choosing a prospective employee at random.

a. Draw a tree diagram to model this chance process.

b. Find the probability that the drug test result is positive.

c. If the prospective employee’s drug test result is positive, find the probability that she

or he uses illegal drugs.

In a class, there are 18 girls and 14 boys. If the teacher selects two students at random

to attend a party with the principal, what is the probability that the two students are the

same sex?

If a player rolls a 2,3,or12, it is called craps. What is the probability of getting craps or an even sum on one roll of the dice?
