At the National Baseball Batting Contest, the organizers have set up game booths for the contestants. Richard wants to win a large stuffed animal. The rules of the game are as follows: You are pitched 5 fastballs, and you must hit them into a fair zone to count. • If you successfully hit all 5 pitches, you win a large stuffed animal. If you successfully hit 3 or 4 pitches, you win a small stuffed animal. • If you successfully hit 1 or 2 pitches, you win a bat-shaped pencil. If you miss all the pitches, you do not win a prize. • The game costs $3 to play (each set of 5 fastballs). Everyone has the same chance as Richard to win. If 160 people each play the game once, how many large stuffed animals will be won?

g) The Lady Tasting Tea Experiment. An English lady, Muriel Bristol, claimed that she can tell whether tea or milk was added first to a cup. So as a researcher, you want to test whether she can really tell whether tea or milk was added first. But how would you do it? A possible research design: Give her eight cups, four where tea is added first and the other four where milk is added first, in random order. Then ask her to pick out the four cups where the milk is added first. After you conducted the experiment and collected the data, how do you decide whether she can truly tell the difference or she was just guessing. Our intuition tells us that the more cups she gets correctly, the more likely that she is NOT guessing. "If the Lady is just guessing, the probability of getting it all correctly is 1.4%." Now using your knowledge on combinatorics and probability, explain how this number was calculated? h) Suppose you flip four fair coins. What is the probability that you will get all…

Tyler was given the followng counting problem to solve: " You are dealt five cards from a standard deck 52 cards. How many of these hands have at least one queen and at least one spade." He breaks this into two cases. In the first case, he looks at hands which contain the queen of spades. There is 1 way of choosing the Queen of Spades, and 51C4 ways of choosing the other four cards. In the second case, he will start by choosing a non-spade queen ( 3 ways) and a non-queen spade (12 ways). There are 50 cards remaning, so he also throws away the Queen of Spades so that he doesn't overlap case 1. This gives 49C3 ways of choosing the last three cards. He concludes that the answer is 51C4 + (3 x 12 x 49C3). His answer is wrong, explain why and give the correct answer.
