Addition Rule of Probability
It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.
Expected Value
When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …
Probability Distributions
Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…
Basic Probability
The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the prob…

Chapter 11.1, Problem 39E

Forearm Length. In 1903, K. Pearson and A. Lee published the paper “On the Laws of Inheritance in Man. I. Inheritance of Physical Characters” (Biometrika, Vol. 2, pp. 357–162). The article examined and presented data on forearm length, in inches, for a sample of 140 men, which we provide on the WeissStats site. Use the technology of your choice to do the following.

  1. a. Obtain a normal probability plot, boxplot, and histogram of the data.
  2. b. Based on your results from part (a), can you reasonably apply one-standard-deviation χ2 -procedures to the data? Explain your reasoning.
  3. c. If you answered “yes” to part (b), determine and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the standard deviation of men’s forearm length.
