Question

Working out Choose a person aged 19 to 25 years at random and ask, "In the past seven days, how many times did you go to an exercise or fitness center or work out?" Call the response Y for short. Based on a large sample survey, here is a probability model for the answer you will get:8Working out Choose a person aged 19 to 25 years at random and ask, "In the past seven days, how many times did you go to an exercise or fitness center or work out?" Call the response Y for short. Based on a large sample survey, here is a probability model for the answer you will get:8

Answer 1

Solution :

Days :              0           1        2         3         4          5        6         7

Probability : 0.68     0.05   0.07   0.08   0.05    0.04   0.01    0.02

This is a valid probability distribution.

In the question it is given that call for a response of Y for short of a sample of people aged between 19 years to 25 years.

Also the event that describes the value of call for response greater than 3 i.e. (Y < 3) is a randomly chosen people between the age 19 to 25 years old who has gone to fitness center or did exercise fewer than 3 days.

Answer 2

Valid probability models add up to 1

The probability is a valid probability model

The probability model is given as:

Days :              0           1        2         3         4          5        6         7

Probability : 0.68     0.05   0.07   0.08   0.05    0.04   0.01    0.02

To determine if the model is a valid probability model, or not

We make use of:

$\mathbf{\sum P(x) = 1}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{0.68 + 0.05 + 0.07 + 0.08 + 0.05 + 0.04 + 0.01 + 0.02 = 1}$

Add the probabilities

$\mathbf{ 1= 1}$

The above equations shows that:$\mathbf{\sum P(x) = 1}$

Hence, the probability is a valid probability model
