2 quantitative analysis questions with explanation

Overview

1. In a recent survey conducted in the town of Kolwezi, forty-two percents of respondents indicated that they would prefer to purchase their vehicles remotely, using delivery platforms such as “WeRComing2 U” instead of going to a car dealership. They reason that going in in person prompts sleezy dealers to add unnecessary costly services, especially those bumper-to-bumper coverages most do not usually need. If ordering car remotely follows a binomial distribution pattern. You randomly select 12 car buyers. Find the probability that the number of customers who prefer to shop remotely is:

- Exactly 6 (Show all work – Formula and calculations)

- At most 2 (Show all work – Formula and calculations)

- Between 2 and 5 inclusive (Show all work – Formula and calculations)

- More than 6(Please think here)

2. Considering the table of a random variable W and corresponding probabilities:

W P(W)

0 .08

1 .12

2 σ

3 .19

4 .15

5 .08

(Show all work – Formula and calculations)

  • What should be the value of σ for this to form a probability distribution of W?
  • Compute the mean or expected value
  • Compute the variance
  • Compute the standard deviation
