5 Consider H, whose preferences over lotteries with only two prizes ($100, $0) are as follows: H strictly prefers lottery L to lottery L’ iff p > p’ where p and p’ (respectively denote) the probability of $100 prize in lotteries L and L’. Does H’s preferences over lotteries on ($100, $0) satisfy continuity, independence? (Do not just answer Yes, or No. If you say Yes, clearly show why. If you say No, then provide a counterexample.)

Suppose 50% of the registered voters in a country are Republican if a sample of 598 voters is selected what is the probability that the simple proportion of republicans will be greater than 47% round your answer to 4 decimal places
You find 6 statements below. Each statement is either true (T) or false (F) (write yourchoice in the table). 1) In a probability model, all possible outcomes together must have a probabilityof 1.2) A density curve describes the probability distribution of a discrete randomvariable.3) Outliers do not have a large effect when we calculate the mean.4) The probability of success for binomial distribution must remain the same foreach trail.5) In the Normal distribution with mean μ and standard deviation σ, approximately95% observations fall within ± 2σ of the mean μ.6) Since the median is the middle value of a data set it must always be smaller thanthe mean.
Suppose you initially catch 500 drones, tag them, and release them. At some point later you re-catch a new 500 drones, and find that only 300 of them are tagged. Assume drones were equally likely to be caught at all times. 1) What is the smallest number of drones that might be out there? i.e., what is the smallest possible number value N might have? 2) What was the probability of this occurring (these specific catch totals) as a function of N? 3) What number N maximizes the likelihood of these results? 4) Re-do numbers 1, 2, and 3 in the more general setting, with N as the total number of drones, n1 as the number caught and tagged the first time, and n2 caught and tagged the second time.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 5% of employed adults in the U.S. held multiple jobs. A random sample of 75 employed adults are chosen, then p is the sample proportion of employed adults with multiple jobs. a) The probability that exactly 6,5% of the employed adults in the sample hold multiple jobs is P(p = 0.065) = b) P(0.04 0.10) = Round the answer to three decimal places. . Round the answer to three decimal places.

A representative from the National Football League's Marketing Division randomly selects people on a random street in Kansas City, Kansas until he finds a person who attended the last home football game. Let p, the probability that he succeeds in finding such a person, equal 0.20. And, let X denote the number of people he selects until he finds his first success.a)What is the probability that the marketing representative must select 4 people before he finds one who attended the last home football game? b) What is the probability that the marketing representative must select more than 4 people before he finds one who attended the last home football game?
The finish of a hole depends on the edge of the bit used, only 1% of the holes with a new drill have an irregular cut, 3% have an irregular cut with average bits and 5% present irregular cut with worn bits. If 25% of the holes are made with new bits, 60% have average edges and 15% are worn out. [use 3 decimal places] a) If a piece is taken at random, what is the probability of having holes irregular? b) If a piece with irregular holes is taken, what is the probability that would have been made with an average drill bit?
Suppose that you enter a fantasy baseball league. Suppose that the 2021 team budget, say , is randomly drawn from a uniform distribution on the interval , where the unit is U.S. million dollars. In addition, suppose that after the value has been observed , the 2022 team budget, say , is randomly drawn from a uniform distribution on the interval . In other words, the 2022 budget is at most as large as the 2021 budget. a) For any given value of x(50<x<350), obtain E[Y|X=x] b) In view of part (a), obtain E[Y|X] c) Atlanta Braves won the 2021 World Series title. Their estimated 2022 payroll is about $130 million. Would your 2022 fantasy baseball budget be on average larger than their 2022 payroll? Explain briefly.

A survey of heads of households showed the percentage of those who asked for a raise and the percentage of those who asked for a raise and the percentage who got one. Accordig to the survey, of the omen interviwed 28% asked for a raise, and of those women who asked for a raise, 45% recieved the raise. If a woman is selected at random from the survey population of women, find the following probabilites. (To three decimal places) P(woman asked for a raise) P(woman recieved raise, given she asked for one) P(woman asked for raise and recieved raise)
