Question

According to a recent poll, half of all pet owners would get their next dog or cat from a shelter. Consider a random sample of 10 pet owners and define x as the number of pet owners who would acquire their next dog or cat from a shelter. Assume that x is a binomial random variable. Complete parts a through f below. A. A success is a pet owner who would not acquire their next dog or cat from a shelter. B. A success is a pet owner who acquired their dog or cat from a shelter. C. A success is a pet owner who would acquire their next dog or cat from a shelter. D. A success is a pet owner who did not acquire their dog or cat from a shelter. b. For this binomial experiment, what is n? n = 10 c. For this binomial experiment, what is p? p = .5 (Round to one decimal place as needed.) d. Find P(x = 8). P(x = 8) = 0.044 (Round to three decimal places as needed.) e. Find P(x ? 6). P(x ? 6) = .377 (Round to three decimal places as needed.) f. Find P(x > 3). P(x > 3) = (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Refer to Exercise 4.70 (p. 240 ) and the associated poll that revealed that half of all pet owners would get their next dog or cat from a shelter. Consider a random sample of 700 pet owners and define $x$ as the number of pet owners who would acquire their next dog or cat from a shelter. In Exercise $4.70,$ you determined that $x$ is a binomial random variable. a. Compute $\mu$ and $\sigma$ for the probability distribution of $x$ b. Compute the $z$ -score for the value $x=338$. c. Compute the $z$ -score for the value $x=374$. d. Use the technique of this section to approximate $P(338<x<372)$

A humane society claims that less than 70% of households in a certain country own a pet. In a random sample of 500 households in that country, 335 say they own a pet. At α = 0.01, is there enough evidence to support the society's claim? Complete parts (a) through (c) below. Let p be the population proportion of successes, where a success is a household in the country that owns a pet. State H0 and Ha. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Assume X has a binomial distribution. Use the binomial formula, tables, or technology to calculate the probability of the indicated event: a. n=19, p=0.6 P(10 ≤ X ≤ 13) = Round to four decimal places if necessary b. n=18, p=0.5 P(8 < X < 11) = Round to four decimal places if necessary Calculate the margin of error and construct the confidence interval for the population mean using the Student's t-distribution (you may assume the population data is normally distributed). a. x̄ = 83.6, n=70, s=17.2, 99% confidence E = Round to two decimal places if necessary < μ < Round to two decimal places if necessary b. x̄ = 35.4, n=43, s=15.3, 95% confidence E = Round to two decimal places if necessary < μ < Round to two decimal places if necessary A study is being conducted by a group of insurance brokers to analyze whether or not pet owners who do not have pet insurance would opt for medical treatment for their pet if the cost of the treatment exceeded $5,000. A random stratified sample of 142 pet owners without pet insurance was collected, and out of those sampled, 39 said they would opt for treatment when presented with the choice if the treatment would cost over $5,000 in total. Calculate the margin of error for this result at the 5% level of significance, and construct the corresponding confidence interval for the true proportion of pet owners that do not have pet insurance who would be willing to pay over $5,000 for medical treatment for their pet. E = Round to four decimal places if necessary Enter 0 if normal approximation cannot be used < p < Round to four decimal places if necessary Enter 0 if normal approximation cannot be used

00:01 So in this one, it's a binomial distribution.
00:07 Where n was 10 and p was .5.
00:11 D you had correct.
00:13 E and a you had correct.
00:19 E with the probability that x is greater than or equal to 6.
00:23 I got, that's 1 minus probability that x is less than 5.
00:29 I got 0 .37695.
00:37 So slightly different than you did.
00:39 Since it doesn't say to approximate with the normal distribution...
