Question
  1. It has been estimated that only about 30% of California residents have adequate earthquake supplies. Suppose you randomly survey 14 California residents. We are interested in the number who have adequate earthquake supplies.

 

  1. Choose the appropriate random variable X

 

  1. the number of earthquakes in CA
  2. the number of people in CA
  3. the cost for all the earthquake supplies in CA
  4. the number of residents who have adequate earthquake supplies in the survey.
  5. List the values that X may take on. 

 

  1. 10%, 20%, 30%
  2. 1, 2, 3…., 100,000
  3. 0, 1, 2, 3….,14
  4. 1, 2, 3….,14

 

  1. Give the distribution of X. X ~ _____(_____,_____)

 

 

  1. How many residents do you expect will have adequate earthquake supplies in this survey? 
  2.  A.2.9 B. 3.8          C. 3.3             D. 3.6                E. 4.2

 

  1. What is the probability that exactly seven residents who participate the survey have adequate earthquake supplies?

 

  1. 0.029 B. 0.031 C. 0.025           D. 0.062           E. 0.5
