Economists theorize that the recent recession has affected men more than women because men are typically employed in industries that have been hit hardest by the recession. Women, on the other hand, are typically employed in services which are considered more recession resistant. A sample of
165
men and a sample of
140
women were drawn. In those samples,
20
men were unemployed, and
13
of the women were unemployed. Complete parts a and b below.

- (Devore: Section 3.2 #15) Many manufacturers have quality control programs that include inspec- tion of incoming materials for defects. Suppose a computer manufacturer receives circuit boards in batches of five. Two boards are selected from each batch of inspection. We can represent possible outcomes of the selection process by pairs. For example, the pair (1,2) represents the selection of boards 1 and 2 for inspection. (a) List the ten different possible outcomes. (b) Suppose that boards 1 and 2 are the only defective boards in a batch. Two boards are to be chosen at random. Define X to be the number of defective boards observed among those inspected. Find the probability distribution (pmf) of X. (c) Let F denote the cdf of X. Determine F(0), F(1) and F(2); then obtain F(x) for all other x.arrow_forward2.)A jar contains 2 red, 3 green, and 6 blue marbles.

- Q8 A desk lamp produced by DavidLee Company was found to be defective (D). There are three factories (A, B, C) where such desk lamps are manufactured. A Quality Control Manager (QCM) is responsible for investigating the source of found defects. This is what the QCM knows about the company's desk lamp production and the possible source of defects: Factory A B с % of Total Production 25%, or P(A) = 0.25 35%, or P(B) = 0.35 40%, or P(C)=0.40 % of defective 3.5%, or P(D/A) =0.035 4.5%, or P(D/B) = 0.045 6.5%, or P(D/C) = 0.065 If 100 products are randomly selected from these three factories, how many defects will be found?arrow_forwardIdentify the possible variables (continuous,discrete, independent, dependent) present in each scenario.arrow_forwardConsider the following normal form of a game.

If the animal is in the meadows on one observation, then it is three times as likely to be in the meadows as the woods on the next observation.Assume that state 1 is being in the meadows and that state 2 is being in the woods.(1) Find the transition matrix for this Markov process.

(3) If the animal is initially in the woods, what is the probability that it is in the meadow on the next three observations?arrow_forwardThe point spread in sports betting is essentially a handicap towards the underdog, for example the point spread of the game this weekend between Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chief in Cincinnati +3 or Kansas city is -3. If you place a bet on the bengals, Kansas city must win by less than 3 points for your bet to wim. If Kansas city wins by exactly 3 points then the bet is a push and your stake is returned. Now suppose you placed a bet of 100 dollars on the bengals on a website where they charge 10% commission (if you win $90) when line was CIncinati +3 or Kansas City -3 According to previous studies the final margin of victory for NFL team in a given game can be approximated as a normal variable with a mean of points spread line and a standard deviation of 12, however suppose the bengals just announced that their star receiver Chase would return this weekend which adds two points in favour of the bengals. In other words, we suppose that the winning margin now for Kansas City this…arrow_forward
