    Assignment 2

    Due date: 14 September, 2022 before 10 PM

    Total 20 points

    1. (5 points) You have been given the choice of receiving $500 in cash or receiving a gold coin
    that has a face value of $100. However, the actual value of the gold coin depends on its gold
    content. You are told that the coin has a 40% probability of being worth $400, a 30% probability
    of being worth $900, and a 30% probability of being worth its face value. Basing your decision
    on expected value, should you choose the coin?

    2. Dermatologists strongly recommend that people who are exposed to sunlight should either be
    covered up or put on sunscreen. Suppose that at a Florida condominium pool only a quarter of
    residents sit around the pool in the sun with no sunscreen.

    (a) What is the probability that in a random sample of 10 condo residents 3 or fewer have no
    sunscreen? (3 points) pc ✗ ≤ 3) 0.7759* =

    (b) What is the expected number of residents who do not use sunscreen in a random sample of
    100? (2 points) 25 *

    3. Cars arriving for gasoline at a particular gas station follow a Poisson distribution with a mean
    of 5 per hour.
    (a) Determine the probability that over the next hour only one car will arrive. (2 points) P (1) =
    = 0.031 *

    (b) Compute the probability that in the next 3 hours more than 20 cars will arrive (2 points) Pl ✗ 720 ) = 1- PC ✗ ≤ 20 )

    4. Calculating proportions of a Normal distribution of bone lengths, when µ = 60 mm and = 10


    mm.
    (a) What proportion of the population of bone length is larger than 66 mm? (2 points) 1- 0.7257 = 0.2743
    ☒
    (b) If there are 2000 bone lengths in this population, how many of them are greater than 66
    mm? (2 points) ร & 8.6 ☒

    (c) What proportion of the area under the normal curve lies to the right of 77.5 mm? (2 points) 1- 0.9 ๖ 92-0.0101
