4. A person wins a contest in which he gets a free trip from San Diego (SD) to New York (NY) via Los Angeles (LA) and Chicago (CH). He has a choice of two buses from SD to LA. Once in LA, he has a choice of 3 plane flights to CH, and upon arrival in CH he has a choice of 2 trains to NY. Let B be the event that he catches bus /(-1,2), P the event that he catches plane /(1,2,3), and I the event that he catches train i(F1,2). Express the following in terms of B, P, T (a) the event that the person gets to NY; and (b) the event that the person does not get to NY.

Suppose are running a study/poll about the probability of catching the flu this year. You randomly sample 80 people and find that 53 of them match the condition you are testing. Suppose you are have the following null and alternative hypotheses for a test you are running: Ho:p = 0.68 H:p > 0.68 Calculate the test statistic, rounded to 3 decimal places = Z
Please help me with this assignment, I'm not sure what to do from 3. onwards Kiara and her friends are playing The Duck Gameat a local fair. In this game, the player selects oneof 50 identical plastic ducks from a pool. Thebottom of each duck is each numbered 1, 2, or 3. Ifyou draw a duck with a 1, you win a small prize, aduck with a 2 will win you a medium prize, and aduck with a 3 will win a large prize. According tothe game operator, there are 25 ducks with anumber 1 on the bottom, 20 ducks with the number2, and 5 ducks with the number 3.Use the information given to explore some of the mathematical concepts you have practiced sofar by answering the questions below.1. Suppose that Kiara plays The Duck Game once. What is the probability that she draws a duckwith the number 3 on the bottom? Explain the process you used to solve this question.2. Kiara draws a duck with a 1 on her first try and decides to play the game again. This time herfriends Denny and Rayanna play the game with…
At a county fair, you pay $2 to play the following game: You are given a fair coin, and two bags standin front of you, labelled Bag A and Bag B. You flip a coin: If your coin lands Heads, you pick a ballfrom Bag A. If your coin lands tails, you pick a ball from Bag B. Each ball has a dollar value written onit, and you win the number of dollars shown on the ball. • Bag A contains four (4) balls in total: Three (3) balls show $1, and one (1) ball shows $5.• Bag B contains three (3) balls in total: Two (2) balls show $2, and one (1) ball shows $3.You WIN money if you leave with more money than you started with. You LOSE money if you leavewith less money than you started with. You BREAK EVEN if you leave with the same money that youstarted with.Let H denote the event that you flip heads, T denote the event that you flip tails, W the event that youwin, and L the event that you lose.(i) You pay to play exactly one game. What is the probability that you WIN given thatyou flipped a Heads?(ii)…
Q4) You are on a TV show and the presenter shows you 3 boxes: box 1, box 2 and, box 3. There is check for 1M $ in one of the boxes and if you guess the correct box you win 1M $ ! Let's assume you chose box 1. Now, assume you play the same game, but this time there are 1000 boxes, box 1, box 2, ..., box 1000. There is a check for 1M $ in one of the boxes and you have to guess the correct box to win the prize. Let's assume you chose box 1. d) What is the probability that the check is in box 1? e) What is the probability that the check is not in box 1? f) After you chose box 1, the presenter opens 998 boxes, other than box 1, and shows you that they are all empty. Now only box 1 and let's say box 349 are closed. Then, the presenter asks you if you want to change your initial decision and choose box 349 instead of box 1. Do you still choose box 1 or change your decision and choose box 349? Why?
A large retail lawn care dealer currently provides a 2-year warranty on all lawn mowers sold at its stores. A new employee suggested that the dealer could save money by just not offering the warranty. To evaluate this suggestion, the dealer randomly decides whether or not to offer the warranty to the next 50 customers who enter the store and express an interest in purchasing a lawnmower. Out of the 25 customers offered the warranty, 10 purchased a mower as compared to 4 of 25 not offered the warranty. a. Place a 95% confidence interval on 7₁ - 72, the difference in the proportions of customers purchasing lawnmowers with and without the warranty. b. Test the research hypothesis that offering the warranty will increase the propor- tion of customers who will purchase a mower. Use a = .05. c. Are the conditions for using a large-sample test to answer the question in part (b) satisfied? If not, apply an exact procedure,

If it was heads shc uscd namc-brand batteries and if it was tails she used the generic brand. She left the flashlights on and recorded how long it took for the batterics to wear out. The results showed that the flashlights that had the name-brand batteries, on average, lasted significantly longer than the flashlights that used the generic brand. What type of design is this study? a. This study is an example of a simple random sample. b. This study is an example of a matched pairs experiment. This study is an example of a completely randomized experiment. This study is an example of an obscrvational study. c. d.

Four puppies, Bruno, Kitty, O'Reilly, and Sweetie, competed in the Annual Puppies of the World Fair. Prizes were awarded for the top three competitors as follows: first place received a Red Ribbon, second place received a Yellow Ribbon, and third place received a Blue Ribbon. Three members of the audience predicted how the prizes would be awarded. • Lucie predicted that Sweetie would win a Red Ribbon, Kitty would win a Yellow Ribbon, and O'Reilly would win a Blue Ribbon. • Jenn predicted that Bruno would win a Red Ribbon, Sweetie would win a Yellow Ribbon, and O'Reilly would win a Blue Ribbon. • Brenton predicted that Kitty would win a Red Ribbon, Bruno would win a Yellow Ribbon, and Sweetie would win a Blue Ribbon. It turns out that each audience member predicted exactly one prize winner correctly. Determine which dog won which prize.
