Statistics and Probability Answers

A newly married couple plans to have two children. Naturally, they are curious about whether their children will be boys or girls. Let B denotes that the child is a boy and G denotes that the child is a girl, BB denotes that the first child is a boy and the second child is a boy and GB denotes that the first child is a girl and the second child is a boy. construct the tree diagram of this experiment. Construct the tree diagram of this experiment?

According to a study conducted by grade 11 students, Php155 is the monthly expense for cellphone loads of high school students on their province. A statistics students claims that this amount has increased since January of this year. Do you think his claim is acceptable if a random sample of 50 students has an average monthly expense of Php165 on cellphone loads? Using 0.05 level of significance, assume that a population standard deviation of Php52.

X= 38; n= 100 - find p =

X= 55; n= 240 - find p=

X= 38; n= 100 find p=

2. The average length of time for students to

have their subjects controlled is 40 minutes. A

new controlling procedure using modern

computing machines is being tried. If a random

sample of 15 students has an average

controlling time of 25 minutes with a standard

deviation of 12.9 minutes under the new

system, test the hypothesis that the average

length of time to control student’s subjects is

less than 40 minutes. Use a level of

significance of 0.10 and assume the

population of controlling times to be normally

distributed.
