2. There are two boxes. Box A has 3 white chips and 1 red chip, Box B has 2 white chips and 1 red chip.There is a 40% chance that Box A will be the first box selected (that is, there is a 60% chance thatBox B will be selected first.)A box is chosen at random. From the first box chosen, a chip is selected at random, the color isobserved, and then the chip is placed in the other box (the one not chosen first). A chip is thenselected at random from the other box and the color is observed.a.C.Find the probability of observing 2 red chips in a row.b. Find the probability of observing a white chip from the other box (the last boxchosen).Given that one observes a white chip from the other box, find the probability thatBox A was the first box chosen.

In this case, color Box A has 3 color W chips and 1 color R chip.

Answered: 2. There are two boxes. Box A has 3…

Imagine you are a researcher interested in the effects of marijuana on beliefs in conspiracy theories. The study involves two groups, to which people are assigned by chance: Group A takes a pill that contains the active ingredient in cannabis, THC, while Group B are given a harmless placebo pill. Neither the people conducting the study nor the participants know who is getting the drug and who is not. After taking the pill and completing some filler tasks, participants are given a series of surveys to complete. One of these theories asks them to indicate the extent to which they believe in different conspiracy surveys (e.g., a secret group like the Illuminati controls the world, Obama was not born in the US & is secretly a Muslim, 9/11 was an inside job, the moon landing was faked).

5. A group of n people stand in a line. On the count of three, each of them simultaneously chooses to look either left or right (with equal probability): at one of their neighbors. Let X be the number of pairs of adjacent people that end up facing each other. (For example, if n = 5 and the random facings are "Left, Left, Right, Left, Right" then only the 3rd and 4th people face each other.) (a) Find the expected value E[X]. (b) Find Pr[X=0]. (c) Assuming n is even, find the maximum possible value of X, and the probability that X is equal to that value.
