45. A mother antelope and its child are galloping along the plains, when they encounter a group of hungry lions. If the two antelopes try to escape the lions together, there is a 75% chance that both will be consumed and eaten, and a 25% chance that both will escape alive. If, however, the mother sacrifices herself to the lions, she may be able to buy her baby additional time to escape. What is the minimum chance that the baby can have to escape from the lions following such a sacrifice such that the mother's action will be evolutionarily favored? You may assume that the baby antelope, once escaped, will be guaranteed to survive into a reproducing adult, and that the mother antelope is at the beginning of reproductive age. A. 25% В. 33% С. 50% D. 66% E. 75%

Does regular exercise reduce the risk of a heart attack? Provided are two ways to study this question. 1. A researcher finds 2000 men older than age 40 who exercise regularly and have not had heart attacks. She matches each with a similar man who does not exercise regularly, and she follows both groups for 5 years. 2. Another researcher finds 4000 men older than age 40 who have not had heart attacks and are willing to participate in a study. She assigns 2000 of the men to a regular program of supervised exercise. The other 2000 continue their usual habits The researcher follows both groups for 5 years. Select the correct explanation clearly detailing why the second design will produce more trustworthy data. a)select all that apply 1- In the second design, the subjects are chosen in a random fashion, whereas in the first design the subjects from the second group are matched to the subjects in the first group. 2-The first design is an observational study whereas the second design is an…
A researcher's survey results indicate that about 50% of 12th graders consume less than 300g of vegetables at lunch, about 40% consume 300-600g, and only 10% of them consume more than 600g. A high school conducted a survey of student diets and health information, and reported data about 12th graders' vegetable intake at lunch is reported in the table photo. If researchers wants to find out whether the high school has the same proportions of 12th graders in the vegetable intake categories as reported by the survey, what would the appropiate test statistic be to use and why. Choosing between an ANOVA, Chi -Square independence tests, Chi Square Goodness of Fit, and One sample proportion test?
A company is trying to decide if they should make a bid on a project that would generate 450,000 in profit. It will cost $100,000 to develop the bid and they will have a 35% chance of winning the contract. What is the expected net profit (project profit less bid development cost) associated with making the bid?
Two construction contracts are to be randomly assigned to one or more of three firms: I, II, and III. Any firm may receive both contracts. If each contract will yield a profit of $102,000 for the firm, find the expected profit for firm I. If firms I and II are actually owned by the same individual, what is the owner's expected total profit?
A man buys a racehorse for $25,000 and enters it in two races. He plans to sell the horse afterward, hoping to make a profit. If the horse wins both races, its value will jump to $105,000. If it wins one of the races, it will be worth $65,000. If it loses both races, it will be worth only $10,000. The man believes there is a 30% chance that the horse will win the first race and a 35% chance that it will win the second one. Assuming that the two races are independent events, find the man's expected profit.
A stock index consists of businesses in both Europe and the United States. Assume that each business comprising the stock index makes a profit or loss independently of the other businesses in the index. Suppose that an American business on the stock index makes a profit 60%60% of the time and a European business makes a profit 80%80% of the time. If there are 840 American businesses and 720 European businesses in the stock index, what is the expected number of businesses in the stock index to make a profit?
Is there a link between dark chocolate and weight loss when compared to milk chocolate? A nutritionist gathers 60 people, selected at random, then randomly assigns half of the group to eat a single dark chocolate bar after dinner each night and the other half to eat a single milk chocolate bar after dinner each night for 6 months. Everyone is to keep track of the other food they eat in an app provided. The nutritionist then compares each person’s weight after the 6 months to their weight before eating the different chocolates accounting for the other calories consumed. 12) What type of study does this describe? a) Survey b) Observational study c) Experimental study
Suppose I flip a fair coin n = 20 times. A psychic tries to predict the outcome before each flip. Three researchers have different ideas about the psychic's ability. There is Sydney, the Skeptic (S), who thinks the psychic's success rate is between 49% and 51%. There is Morgan, the Mark, M, who thinks that the psychic's success rate is 80%. And there is Carter, the Cynic (C), who thinks the psychic's success rate is 10%. Specifically: S+ 0 ~ U(.49, .51) M + 0 = .80 C0 = .10 %3D In all cases, assume the number of successful predictions follows a binomial distribution with success rate 0. Usek for the number of successes and n for the number of trials. Given all that: Determine the formula for the Bayes factor (a.k.a., likelihood ratio) supporting Carter over Morgan. Call that Bayes factor Bc:M Determine the formula for the Bayes factor (a.k.a., likelihood ratio) supporting Morgan over Sydney. Call that Bayes factor BM:S Determine the formula for the Bayes factor (a.k.a., likelihood…

According to KRomenx, Snell, and Thompson, 2 the Land of Oz is blessed by many things, but not by good weather. They never have two nice days in a row. If they have a nice day, they are just as likely to have snow as rain the next day. If they have snow or rain, they have an even chance of having the same the next day. If there is change from snow or rain, only half of the time is this a change to a nice day. DRAW TRANSITION GRAPH AND PROBABLOLITY MATRIX
When looking at the data for graduate school admissions between men and women, it is shown that about 45% of men are admitted but only 38% of women. However, when the data is broken down by school it turns out that, within each school, the women are admitted at higher rates than the men. This could happen because I. The women apply in higher numbers to schools with lower acceptance rates. II. The women apply in higher numbers to schools with higher acceptance rates III. The men apply in higher numbers to schools with lower acceptance rates IV. The men apply in higher numbers to schools with higher acceptance rates
