2.3-15. Apples are packaged automatically in 3-pound bags. Suppose that 4% of the time the bag of apples weighs less than 3 pounds. If you select bags randomly and weigh them in order to discover one underweight bag of apples, find the probability that the number of bags that must be selected is (a) At least 20. (b) At most 20. (c) Exactly 20.

The arithmetic mean of three numbers is 100. If the mean of the first two numbers is 50, what is the third number?
You may want to create a table to help you with this problem. Consider a computer test to indicate if you like Math 123 or dislike Math 123. If positive, you like the class and if negative you dislike the class. In a sample of 25 thousand people, 80% of the population indicated they liked the class. If the test is 85.5% accurate, what are the chances that the test showed the person disliked Math 123, but in reality they actually liked the course? Round your percentage to 2 decimals.

I have a random math question. Let's suppose that you were to have a 100 gallon barrel of gelatin and for every 20 minutes, 4 ounces of it sets. How many minutes would you have to wait for the whole thing to set. 100 gallons == 12800 ounces
Please solve this question below. Thank you! 9. Challenge A bag contains 200 red and blue marbles. Three people each took samples of 25 marbles and noted the number of red marbles. Person A 17 red marbles out of 25 marbles Person B 12 red marbles out of 25 marbles Person C 20 red marbles out of 25 marbles a. Combine the samples to make one large sample. Use that sample to predict the number of red marbles in a similar bag that contains 300 marbles. b. Explain how having a fourth sample would make the estimate better.

You land a job at an online marketing/consulting firm after attaining a business degree with an emphasis in statistics. You walk into your office on the first day and there is an assignment sitting upon your desk. The firm was recently hired by ImpulseBuy Now.com (a famous online clearing house for as-seen-on-TV junk items). ImpulseBuyNow wanted to know if the amount of time spent browsing by a customer at their online site associates to how many items the customer purchased. Sound familiar? Realizing that you listed a statistical emphasis in your business degree, you panic and pull out your old statistics notes as to find this unit in the study guide. What luck! You must figure out what to tell ImpulseBuy Now about their question. Here is the data provided by ImpulseBuy Now: Browse Time (min.) 0-10 11-20 More than 20 Browse Time (min.) 0-10 Items Purchased Zero 1000 And your final p-value is extremely small. 1500 500 One 900 Expected Values Zero 600 2600 2500 Your paycheck depends…
Recently a community college offered a 2-credit course to help students with math anxiety. At the beginning of the course, each student took a 30-question survey (called MARS-S); the higher the score, the more anxiety experienced by the student.
