1. It is believed that fifty percent of the students at UPNG are in favour of a ban on drinking alcohol in the dormitories. Suppose an inspector selected 20 students at random to get their views on drinking alcohol in the dormitories, find the probability that: [Let a random variable X denote the number of students who favour a ban on drinking alcohol out of the 20 selected students] a) Only twelve students favour the ban on drinking alcohol out of 20 selected students. b) Fewer than five students favour the ban on drinking alcohol out of 20 selected students. c) Supposę another inspector selected 200 students at random determine the expected and standard deviation number of students who favour the ban on drinking alcohol out 200 selected students. [Define a random variable X that denotes the mumber of students who favour the ban on drinking alcohol]

2) A company was examining the perception of sports fans in a specific region and outside of that region to see if people viewed a specific team favorable or unfavorable. It was previously determined that given a person was from the region the probability they considered the team favorable was 0.7, and given that the person was not from the region, the probability they considered the team unfavorable was 0.28. Consider a collection of 35 people were surveyed, where 28 were from the region, and 7 people were from outside the region. a) Given that a randomly selected response from the sample was favorable, what is the probability they were from the region? b) Given that a randomly selected response from the sample was not favorable, what is the probability they were from the region?
A company did a study of available vacation time for their staff employees over the past years. They determined the probability a staff employee selected at random has 2 weeks’ vacation was 45%, 1 week vacation 10%, 3 weeks’ vacation 20%, and more than 3 weeks’ vacation was 25%. The company randomly selects 20 employees. What is the probability that out of the 20 selected, at least 2 workers have 1 week vacation time?
There are declining levels of cooperation among persons contacted in surveys and this brings concerns to pollsters. A pollster contacts 92 people in the 18-21 age bracket and finds that 78 of them respond and 14 refuse to respond. When 276 people in the 22-29 age bracket are contacted, 259 respond and 17 refuse to respond. Assume that 1 of the 368 people is randomly selected. Find the probability of getting someone in the 22-29 age bracket or someone who agreed to respond. Report the answer as a percent rounded to one decimal place accuracy. You need not enter the "%" symbol. prob = Question Help: M Mes
1.) Why does a large value of the F statistics provide evidence against the null hypothesis? 2.) An urn contains 20 colored golf balls: 8 white, 6 red, 4 blue, and 2 yellow. A child is allowed to draw balls until he gets a yellow one. The number of draws required is recorded. Determine what distribution the probability experiment represents and why?
7) The Nationwide Motel Company has determined that 70 percent of all calls for motel reservations request nonsmoking rooms. Recently, the customer service manager for the company randomly selected 15 calls. Assuming that the distribution of calls requesting nonsmoking rooms is described by a binomial distribution, what is the probability that exactly 5 customers will request smoking rooms?

3. A company produces boxes of candy that contain a mean of 50 candies each. The standard deviation is 2. Quality control will reject any box with fewer than 48 candies. a) What is the probability that a box selected at random contains exactly 51 pieces? b) What proportion of the boxes will quality control reject as containing too few candies? c) The company produces 135 000 boxes of candy a day. How many of these boxes will have at least 48 candies but no more than 53?
