Q.: According to a certain global health risks report, 3.8% of the total number of
deaths in the world can be attributed to childhood underweight in children, and
2.1% to suboptimal breast feeding of newboms. Estimates show that 3.7% of
these deaths are of males who die because of underweight and 2.1% because of
suboptimal breastfeeding. What percentage of females die because of the two
stated reasons assuming 50.4% are male and 49.6% are female of the total
population?

records of one major publishing company indicate that 10% of all new books sell
more than projected, 30% sell close to the number projected, and 60% sell less

35.3%Q.: An economist believes that during periods of high economic growth, the
Indian rupee appreciates (Rises in value) with probability 0.70. in periods, of
moderate economic growth, the rupee appreciates with probability 0.40, and
during period of low economic growth, the rupee appreciates with probability
0.20. During any period of time, the probability of high economic growth is 0.30,
the probability of moderate growth is 0.50, and the probability of low economic
growth is 0.20. Suppose, the rupee has been appreciating during the present
period. What is the probability if we are experiencing a period of high economic
growth?

between 25 and 29, inclusive: a person is said to be obese if his or her BMI is 30
or greater. From the document Utah Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System
(BRESS) Local Health District Report, issued by the Utah Department of Health,
we obtained the following table. The first two columns of the table provide an
age distribution for adults living in Utah. The third column gives the percentage
of adults in each age group who are either obese or overweight.

eld, Locust.Q. : From the document American Housing Survey for the United States,
published by the U.S. Census Bureau, we obtained the following frequency
Gistribution for the number of persons per occupied housing unit, where we have
used “7” in place of “7 or more.” Frequencies are in millions of housing units.

For a randomly selected housing unit, let Y denote the number of persons living
in that unit.
a, Identify the possible values of the random variable Y.
b. Use random-variable notation to represent the event that a housing unit has
exactly three persons living in it.
c. Determine P(Y = 3); interpret in terms of percentages.
d. Determine the probability distribution of Y.
e. Construct a probability histogram for Y.

Hw toteQ. : In a 10-Metre-Air-Pistol event, a 4.5 mm caliber air gun is shot from a
distance of 10 meters into a circular target with a 6 feet radius whose center we
call the origin. The program consists of 60 shots within 105 minutes for men. The
out come of this random experiment is a shot on the target. The shooter scores 10
points if he hits the bull's eye, which is a disk with radius of 1-foot centered at
the origin; he scores 5 points if he hits the ring with inner radius of 1 foot and
outer radius of 3 feet centered at the origin; and he scores 0 points if he shoots
anywhere outside. Assume that the shooter will actually hit the target. For one
shot, let $ be the score. A probability distribution for the random variable S is as
follows.
P(S=s) | 0.7611 0.2112 0.0277
a. On average, how many points will the shooter score per shot?
b, Obtain and interpret the standard deviation of the score per shot.
