Suppose that 30% of all students who have to buy a text for a particular course want a new copy (the successes!), whereas the other 70% want a used copy. Consider randomly selecting 15 purchasers. (a) What are the mean value and standard deviation of the number who want a new copy of the book? (Round your standard deviation to two decimal places.) mean students standard deviation students (b) What is the probability that the number who want new copies is more than two standard deviations away from the mean value? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (c) The bookstore has 10 new copies and 10 used copies in stock. If 15 people come in one by one to purchase this text, what is the probability that all 15 will get the type of book they want from current stock? [Hint: Let X = the number who want a new copy. For what values of X will all 15 get what they want?] (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (d) Suppose that new copies cost $110 and used copies cost $80. Assume the bookstore currently has 50 new copies and 50 used copies. What is the expected value of total revenue from the sale of the next 15 copies purchased? [Hint: Let h(X) = the revenue when X of the 15 purchasers want new copies. Express this as a linear function.] $ Indicate what rule of expected value you are using. E(aX + b) = a · E(X) + b E(aX + b) = E(X) + b. E(aX + b) = a2 · E(X) E(aX + b) = a · E(X).

Data from 2005 for various age groups show that for each $100 increase in the median weekly income for whites, the median weekly income of blacks increases by $105. also, for workers of ages 25 to 54 the median weekly income for whites was $676 and for blacks was $527. (a) let w represent the median weekly income for whites and b the median weekly income for blacks, and write the equation of the line that gives b as a linear function of w. b = (b) when the median weekly income for whites is $760, what does the equation in (a) predict for the median weekly income for blacks?
