A survey was conducted of students’ residences. Data was gathered from a random sample of 1000 students. The data is summarized in the table below.
Gender and Residence of Students
Males
Females
Apartment off campus
50
90
Dorm room
150
210
With Parent(s)
100
50
Sorority/ Fraternity House
200
150
Start with fractional probabilities, convert to decimals, and round final answers to three decimal places.
1.) What is the probability that a student is female and lives in a dorm?
The probability of female students living in Dorm room = 210
Total students = 1000
P(female at dorn) = 210/1000
= 0.210
2.) What is the probability that a student is female given that she lives in a dorm?
The probability of female students living in Dorm room = 210
P(female at dorn) = 1/210
= 0.004
3.) What is the probability that a student lives in a dorm given that she is a female?
Total female students living in a dorn = 210
Total female students =500
P(female student living in dorn) = 210/500
= 0.420
4.) What is the probability that a student lives in a dorm or an apartment off campus?
Total students living in dorn = 360
Students living in Apartments = 140
Probability= 140/1000
= 0.140
The exercises on the back page relate to the binomial probability distribution. You will need to obtain your answers from MS Excel.
Round final answers to three decimal places.
For each question, you may want to show the data you enter into Excel for partial credit.
number of success
number of trials
probability of success
cumulative probability (true or false) ?
A recent report shows that 80% of elementary school teachers have a computer at home. 12 elementary school teachers are randomly selected.
5.)Find the probability that exactly 10 of them have a home computer.
Probability = 10/12
= 0.8333
6.) Find the probability that 8 or less have a home computer.
P = 8/12
P = 0.666
P is less or equal to 0.666
7.)Find the probability that 12 or fewer have a home computer.
P = 12/12
Probability is equal or less than 1.000
8.) Find the probability that 7 or more have a home computer.
P = 7/12
P = 0.583
Probability is equal to 0.583 or more.
9.)Find the probability that 9 or 10 have a home computer.
P= 9/12
P = 0.750
P= 10/12
P= 0.833
For 9 the probability is 0.750 and for 10 it will be 0.833
