Single 25 30 55
Married 20 23 53
Divorced 10 27 37
Widowed 5 12 17
Total 60 102 162

A. Suppose we pick a person at random from this group. What is the probability that this
person will be the one with degree level of education?
B. If we pick a person at random, what is the probability that the person will be one with
diploma level of education and single marital status?
C. Suppose we pick a person at random and find him/her diploma holder. What is the
probability that this person will be the one who is divorced?
D. What is the probability that a randomly picked person is one who is degree holder or
has a single marital status or both?

2. In town X the probability that a female married women being positive for cervical Cancer
screening was found to be 2%. If you randomly select 3 women, what is the probability that
at least 2 married females will be positive? What is the mean and the variance for the
distribution.
3. The finishing times for marathon runners during a race are normally distributed with a mean
of 195 minutes and a standard deviation of 25 minutes.
a. What is the probability that a runner will complete the marathon within 3 hours?
b. What proportion of the runners will complete the marathon between 3 hours and 4
hours?
4. In a population of subjects who died from lung cancer following exposure to asbestos it was
found that the mean number of years elapsing betweeen eposure and death was 25.the
standar deviation was 7 years.consider the sampling distribution of sample means based on
samples of size 35 drawn from this population.
a. What will be the shape of the samplig distribution?Why?
b. What will be the mean and variance of the sampling distribution?
c. What is the probability that a single simple rando sample of size 35 drawn from
this population will yield a mean between 22 and 29?
