Trang 229 An Internal Revenue Oversight Board survey found that 82% of taxpayers said
that it was very important for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to ensure that high-income tax payers do not cheat on their tax returns (The Wall Street Journal, February 11, 2009)
a, For a sample of eight taxpayers, what is the probability that at least six taxpayers say that it is very important to ensure that high-income tax payers do not cheat on their tax returns? Use the binomial distribution probability function shown in Section 5.4 to answer this question
For a binomial random variable X with parameters and the probability mass, function is , for
Let X = the number of taxpayers who say that it is very important to ensure that hight-income taxpayers do not cheat on their tax return
Then X is a binomial random variable with p=0.82 and n=8 The probability that
at least six taxpayers say that it is very important to ensure that hight-income taxpayers
do not cheat on their tax return is computed as:
= 0.2758 + 0.3590 + 0.2044
= 0.8392
b, For a sample of 80 taxpayers, what is the probability that at least 60 taxpayers say that it is very important to ensure that high-income tax payers do not cheat on their tax returns? Use the normal approximation of the binomial distribution to answer this question
X is a binomial random variable with and When using the normal approximation to the binomial, we set and in the definition of the normal curve
So we have:
The probability that at least 60 taxpayers say that it is very important to ensure that hight-income taxpayers do not cheat on their tax return is computed as:
Trang 3c, As the number of trails in a binomial distribution application becomes large, what
is the advantage of using the normal approximation of the binomial distribution to compute probabilities?
The larger the number of observations in the sample, the more tedious it is to compute the exact probabilities of success by use of Equation (section a) Fortunately, though, when-ever the sample size is large, the normal distribution can be used to approximate the exact probabil-ities of success that otherwise would have to be obtained through laborious computations
30 When you sign up for a credit card, do you read the contract carefully? In a FindLaw.com survey, individuals were asked, “How closely do you read a contract for a credit card?” (USA Today, October 16, 2003) The findings were that 44% read every word, 33% read enough to understand the contract, 11% just glance at it, and 4% don’t read it at all
a For a sample of 500 people, how many would you expect to say that they read every word of a credit card contract?
Propotion of individuals who read every word of a credit card contract = 0.44 Size of the sample
Let X = people who read every word
So the expected number of people who read every word:
b For a sample of 500 people, what is the probability that 200 or fewer will say they read
every word of a credit card contract?
Given
So we have: (section a)
The probability that 200 or fewer will say they read every word of a credit card contract is computed as:

50 A blackjack player at a Las Vegas casino learned that the house will provide a free room
if play is for four hours at an average bet of $50 The player’s strategy provides a probability of 49 of winning on any one hand, and the player knows that there are 60 hands per hour Suppose the player plays for four hours at a bet of $50 per hand
a What is the player’s expected payoff?
b What is the probability the player loses $1000 or more?
c What is the probability the player wins?
d Suppose the player starts with $1500 What is the probability of going broke?
Sovled
a, There are 60 hands per hour and the player plays for four hours then Total hands are :
The player’s strategy provides a probability of 49 of winning on any one hand so the probability of success is:
So propability of failure is
Trang 11Also, following the above details we can see that since the bet is $50 so $50 is gained when the player wins a hand and $50 is lost when the player loses a hand
So expected payoff on any one hand is
Since and expected payoff is -1$ per hand then
the expected payoff in four hours is:
(*) Note : The expected averange of total hands that player can win are :
Standard deviation of total hands are :
Consider X as total hands that player wins (X belongs to natural numbers and ) Normal distribution
b, According to the details we have above, the player may loose 1000 $ or more
means he has to loose at more than hands compared to those hands the player wins And
total hands are Which means He won less than 110 hands and lose more than 130 hands when he loose 1000 $ or more
The probability the player won less than 110 hands is
According to normal distribution : With and σ = 7.744
probability the player loses $1000 or more is 0.1632
c, If the player want to win , total hands he won must equal or more compared to hands he lose which means that player have to win 120 hands and more
The probability the player won more than 120 hands is
