**Problem 4: Probability in Practice**You are given that 70 percent of the submarines (subs) at theme parks in the US are yellow. There are a total of 220 subs in these theme parks. You are participating in a contest where you randomly select sub names from a hat and record the names without replacement. The challenge is to win a prize by selecting a higher percentage of yellow subs than 90% of your many competitors. The question is: What percentage of yellow subs do you need to select to achieve this goal? This problem explores concepts of probability and statistics, particularly focusing on probability without replacement and competitive statistics.

Given Data: n=220 p=0.7 Using central limit theorem X~ Normal (154, 6.7972)

Answered: 4) You know that 70 percent of the subs…

A consumer agency wants to determine which of two laundry detergents, A or B, cleans clothes better. Fifty pieces of fabric are subjected to the same kinds of stains (grass, mud, coffee). Then 25 pieces are randomly assigned to be cleaned with detergent A and the remaining 25 pieces are cleaned with detergent B. After being laundered, the pieces of fabric are rated on a scale from 1–10, with 1 being the least clean to 10 being the most clean. The difference in mean ratings (A – B) was determined to be 1.5. Assuming there is no difference in the two detergents, 200 simulated differences in sample mean ratings are displayed in the dotplot. Using the dotplot and the difference in mean ratings from the samples, is there convincing evidence that the one detergent is better than the other? Yes, because a difference in mean rating of 1.5 or more occurred only 23 out of 200 times, meaning the difference is statistically significant and there is convincing evidence that A is more effective…

A biologist is studying the composition of birds on a lake and counts 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons. From previous studies performed around the same time of the year, she expects 50% of the birds to be ducks, 23% to be geese, 12% to be cranes, 10% to be swans, and 5% to be herons. What are the expected and observed counts? Select one. Expected = 55 ducks, 25 geese, 13 cranes, 11 swans, and 6 herons Observed = 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons Expected = 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons Observed 55 ducks, 25 geese, 13 cranes, 11 swans, and 6 herons %3D Expected = 55 ducks, 25 geese, 13 cranes, 11 swans, and 6 herons Observed = 55 ducks, 25 geese, 13 cranes, 11 swans, and 6 herons %3D %3D Expected = 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons Observed = 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons
