1. Consider three random X₁, X2, and X3. Suppose that we have pairwise independence (i.e. X₁ is independent of X2, X2 is independent of X3, and X₁ is independent of X3). Then, X₁, X2, and X3 are mutually independent. True or false, give reasoning.

Suppose you are going to randomlysample 1 individual from a population of160 people. In the population, there are50 children younger than 12, 70teenagers, and 40 adults. What is theprobability the individual you select willbe a teenager or an adult? Show solution.
Suppose that 20% of the adult population in Palestine smoke cigarettes only, 15% smoke Argeeleh only, and 10% smoke both cigarettes and Argeeleh. Suppose that 15% of those who smoke cigarettes only have respiratory problems, 10% of those who smoke Agreeleh only have respiratory problems, 20% of those who smoke both cigarettes and Argeeleh have respiratory problems, and 5% of non-smokers have respiratory problems. If an adult person is randomly selected from the population: What is the probability that he/she has respiratory problems? If the selected individual has respiratory problems, what is the probability that he/she is non-smoker? If the selected individual has respiratory problems, what is the probability that he/she smokes both cigarettes and Argeeleh?
Jay-Z has applied to both The School of Hard Knocks and The University of OG's. He thinks the probability that The School of Hard Knocks will admit him is 0.4, the probability that The University of OG's will admit him is 0.5, and the probability that both will admit him is 0.2. Creating a Venn Diagram is Helpful. What is the probability that Jay-Z gets into The School of Hard Knocks but not The University of OGʻs?

Suppose you are playing a game of Yahtzee. You know that you play with 5 dice, each with 6 sides. Since the dice are all rolled at the same time, let the roll (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) to be equal to (2, 4, 5, 1, 3). Assume for this question that we will only be rolling the dice once. (i) How many ways can you roll all the dice? (ii) To win 50 points you would need all the dice to roll the same number (ex. (1, 1, 1, 1, 1)). How many ways can you win the 50 points? (iii) Suppose you are trying to get your dice to roll only consecutive numbers (ex. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) or (2, 3, 4, 5, 6)) How many different ways are there to do this? (iv) Suppose instead you are trying to get your dice to roll 4 consecutive numbers (ex. (1, 2, 3, 4, 1) or (2, 3, 4, 5, 3)) How many different ways are there to do this? (make sure to not count any only consecutive numbers) This is a combinatorics math counting problem.
You're a sociologist studying whether grocery prices are different in the inner cities than they are in the suburbs. To investigate this, you pick a random set of items (a basket of goods), and then send shoppers to buy these items at an inner city (IC) grocery, and also at a suburban (SU) grocery. You pick 30 different baskets of goods, so your secret shoppers buy 30 baskets, once at the inner city store, and once at a suburban store.The data is given in the dataset named "ICvSU_3095.xls", which you can find in data folder under Course Documents. Prices could be higher in the inner city because of discrimination, or they could be higher in the suburbs because of the greater disposable income. Use Excel to test the research hypothesis that inner city prices are different than the suburb's prices. The null hypothesis is that inner city prices are equal to suburban prices. You test at the alpha = 0.05 significance level. What do you conclude? Are prices the same? Who has higher prices?…
I need help on both questions. Thank you in advance!
Four salesmen play "odd man out" to see who pays for lunch. They each flip a coin, and if there is a salesman whose coin doesn't match the others he pays for lunch. To clarify, the "odd man" must get heads while the other three get tails OR he must get tails while the other three get heads. Of course, since it is possible for two men get heads and two men get tails, not all flips will result in finding an "odd man". If this occurs the salesmen would be forced to flip again. What is the probability that there is an "odd man" the first time they flip?
