A coin is tossed once. Then, if it comes up heads, a die is thrown once; if the coin comes up tails, it is tossed twice more. Using the notation in which (H,2), for example, denotes the event that the coin comes up heads and then the die comes up 2, and (T,T,T) denotes the event the coin comes up tails three times in a row, list (a) the 10 elements of the sample space S; (b) the elements of S corresponding to event A that exactly one head occurs; (c) the elements of S corresponding to event B that at least two tails occur or a number greater than 4 occurs.

A probability experiment is conducted in which the sample space of the experiment is S = {9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20). Let event E = (10,11,12,13,14,15) and event F = {14,15,16,17). List the outcomes in E and F. Are E and F mutually exclusive? List the outcomes in E and F. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. OA.

3595 You're a sociologist studying whether grocery prices are different in the inner cities than they are in the suburbs. To investigate this, you pick a random set of items (a basket of goods), and then send shoppers to buy these items at an inner city (IC) grocery, and also at a suburban (SU) grocery. You pick 35 different baskets of goods, so your secret shoppers buy 35 baskets, once at the inner city store, and once at a suburban store. Prices could be higher in the inner city because of discrimination, or they could be higher in the suburbs because of the greater disposable income. Use Excel to test the research hypothesis that inner city prices are different than the suburb's prices. The null hypothesis is that inner city prices are equal to suburban prices. You test at the alpha = 0.05 significance level. What do you conclude? Are prices the same? Who has higher prices? Group of answer choices You reject the null hypothesis; prices are different. Grocery prices are higher in…

An experiment is performed where a 3-color spinner is spun and then a 4-sided die is rolled. The possible outcomes for each event are red (R), blue (B), and yellow (Y) for the 3-color spinner and 1, 2, 3, and 4 for the 4-sided die. Identify the sample space for this experiment.
