Central Limit Theorem: Review is part of the collection col10555 written by Barbara Illowsky and Susan Dean. The module consists of review exercises.

The next three questions refer to the following information: Richard’s Furniture Company delivers furniture from 10 A.M. to 2 P.M. continuously and uniformly. We are interested in how long (in hours) past the 10 A.M. start time that individuals wait for their delivery.

X size 12{X "~" } {} ~

  • U ( 0,4 ) size 12{U \( 0,4 \) } {}
  • U ( 10 , 2 ) size 12{U \( "10",2 \) } {}
  • Exp ( 2 ) size 12{ ital "Exp" \( 2 \) } {}
  • N ( 2,1 ) size 12{N \( 2,1 \) } {}

A

The average wait time is:

  • 1 hour
  • 2 hour
  • 2.5 hour
  • 4 hour

B

Suppose that it is now past noon on a delivery day. The probability that a person must wait at least 1 1 2 size 12{1 { {1} over {2} } } {} more hours is:

  • 1 4 size 12{ { {1} over {4} } } {}
  • 1 2 size 12{ { {1} over {2} } } {}
  • 3 4 size 12{ { {3} over {4} } } {}
  • 3 8 size 12{ { {3} over {8} } } {}

A

Given: X ~ Exp ( 1 3 ) size 12{X "~" ital "Exp" \( { {1} over {3} } \) } {} .

  • Find P ( x > 1 ) size 12{P \( x>1 \) } {}
  • Calculate the minimum value for the upper quartile.
  • Find P ( x = 1 3 ) size 12{P \( x= { {1} over {3} } \) } {}
  • 0.7165
  • 4.16
  • 0
  • 40% of full-time students took 4 years to graduate
  • 30% of full-time students took 5 years to graduate
  • 20% of full-time students took 6 years to graduate
  • 10% of full-time students took 7 years to graduate

The expected time for full-time students to graduate is:

  • 4 years
  • 4.5 years
  • 5 years
  • 5.5 years

C

Which of the following distributions is described by the following example?

Many people can run a short distance of under 2 miles, but as the distance increases, fewer people can run that far.

  • Binomial
  • Uniform
  • Exponential
  • Normal

C

The length of time to brush one’s teeth is generally thought to be exponentially distributed with a mean of 3 4 size 12{ { {3} over {4} } } {} minutes. Find the probability that a randomly selected person brushes his/her teeth less than 3 4 size 12{ { {3} over {4} } } {} minutes.

  • 0.5
  • 3 4 size 12{ { {3} over {4} } } {}
  • 0.43
  • 0.63

D

Which distribution accurately describes the following situation?

The chance that a teenage boy regularly gives his mother a kiss goodnight (and he should!!) is about 20%. Fourteen teenage boys are randomly surveyed.

X = size 12{X={}} {} the number of teenage boys that regularly give their mother a kiss goodnight

  • B ( 14 , 0 . 20 ) size 12{B \( "14",0 "." "20" \) } {}
  • P ( 2 . 8 ) size 12{P \( 2 "." 8 \) } {}
  • N ( 2 . 8,2 . 24 ) size 12{N \( 2 "." 8,2 "." "24" \) } {}
  • Exp ( 1 0 . 20 ) size 12{ ital "Exp" \( { {1} over {0 "." "20"} } \) } {}

A

Which distribution accurately describes the following situation?

A 2008 report on technology use states that approximately 20 percent of U.S. households have never sent an e-mail. (source: http://www.webguild.org/2008/05/20-percent-of-americans-have-never-used-email.php) Suppose that we select a random sample of fourteen U.S. households .

X = size 12{X={}} {} the number of households in a 2008 sample of 14 households that have never sent an email

  • B ( 14 , 0 . 20 ) size 12{B \( "14",0 "." "20" \) } {}
  • P ( 2 . 8 ) size 12{P \( 2 "." 8 \) } {}
  • N ( 2 . 8,2 . 24 ) size 12{N \( 2 "." 8,2 "." "24" \) } {}
  • Exp ( 1 0 . 20 ) size 12{ ital "Exp" \( { {1} over {0 "." "20"} } \) } {}

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.
Amesalu Reply
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.
