According to the U. S. National Center for Health Statistics, there is a 98% probability that a 20-year-old male will survive to age 30.
(a) Using statistical software, simulate taking 100 random samples of size 30 from this
population.
(b) Using the results of the simulation, compute the probability that exactly 29 of the 30 males
survive to age 30.
(c) Compute the probability that exactly 29 of the 30 males survive to age 30, using the
binomial probability distribution.
(d) Using the results of the simulation, compute the probability that at most 27 of the 30 males
survive to age 30.
(e) Compute the probability that at most 27 of the 30 males survive to age 30 using the
binomial probability distribution.
(f) Compute the mean number of male survivors in the 100 simulations of the probability
experiment. Is it close to the expected value?
(g) Compute the standard deviation of the number of
male survivors in the 100 simulations of the probability experiment. Compare the result to the
theoretical standard deviation of the probability distribution
