The next two questions refer to: X ~ U ( 3 , 13 )

Explain which of the following are false and which are true.

  • f ( x ) = 1 10 size 12{f \( x \) = { {1} over {"10"} } } {} , 3 x 13 size 12{3<= x<= "13"} {}
  • There is no mode.
  • The median is less than the mean.
  • P ( x > 10 ) = P ( x 6 ) size 12{P \( x>"10" \) =P \( x<= 6 \) } {}
  • True
  • True
  • False – the median and the mean are the same for this symmetric distribution
  • True

Which of the following is true for the above box plot?

  • 25% of the data are at most 5.
  • There is about the same amount of data from 4 – 5 as there is from 5 – 7.
  • There are no data values of 3.
  • 50% of the data are 4.
  • False – 3 4 size 12{ { {3} over {4} } } {} of the data are at most 5
  • True – each quartile has 25% of the data
  • False – that is unknown
  • False – 50% of the data are 4 or less

If P ( G H ) = P ( G ) size 12{P \( G \lline H \) =P \( G \) } {} , then which of the following is correct?

  • G size 12{G} {} and H size 12{H} {} are mutually exclusive events.
  • P ( G ) = P ( H ) size 12{P \( G \) =P \( H \) } {}
  • Knowing that H size 12{H} {} has occurred will affect the chance that G size 12{G} {} will happen.
  • G size 12{G} {} and H size 12{H} {} are independent events.

If P ( J ) = 0 . 3 size 12{P \( J \) =0 "." 3} {} , P ( K ) = 0 . 6 size 12{P \( K \) =0 "." 6} {} , and J size 12{J} {} and K size 12{K} {} are independent events, then explain which are correct and which are incorrect.

  • P ( J and K ) = 0
  • P ( J or K ) = 0.9
  • P ( J or K ) = 0.72
  • P ( J ) P ( J K )
  • False - J and K are independent so they are not mutually exclusive which would imply dependency (meaning P(J and K) is not 0).
  • False - see answer C.
  • True - P(J or K) = P(J) + P(K) - P(J and K) = P(J) + P(K) - P(J)P(K)= 0.3 + 0.6 - (0.3)(0.6) = 0.72. Note that P(J and K) = P(J)P(K) because J and K are independent.
  • False - J and K are independent so P(J) = P(J|K).
