A college library has four copies of a certain book; the copies are numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4. Two of these are selected at random. The first selected book is placed on 2-hour reserve, and the second book can be checked out overnight. (a) Construct a tree diagram to display the 12 outcomes in the sample space.

When making an ice cream sundae, you have a choice of 33 types of ice cream flavors: chocolate (C), vanilla (V), or Moose Tracks (M); a choice of 22 types of sauces: hot fudge (H) or butterscotch (B); and a choice of 22 types of toppings: whipped cream (W) or fruit (F). If you are choosing only one of each, list the sample space in regard to the sundaes (combinations of ice cream flavors, sauces, and toppings) you could pick from. Separate the elements of the sample space with commas.
The principal at Tahoe Elementary School randomly selected three of the school's twelve classes of students to participate in an option poll. All of the children in each of the three randomly selected classes were asked the question, "What is your favorite fruit to eat?". The following results were obtained. Apples, Grapes, Apple, Apple, Banana, Apple, Apple, Grapes, Orange, Apple, Apple, Banana, Strawberries, Apple, Apple, Grapes, Apple, Orange, Apple, Apple, Apple, Apple, Grapes, Grapes, Apple, Orange, Apple, Apple, Banana, Apple, Apple, Apple, Strawberries, Apple, Orange, Grapes, Grapes, Apple, Grapes, Grapes, Grapes, Banana, Grapes, Banana, Apple, Banana, Grapes, Apple, Banana, Strawberries, Banana, Apple, Orange, Grapes, Orange, Grapes, Apple, Orange. Use the results of this opinion poll to estimate, with 95% confidence, the actual percentage of children attending Tahoe Elementary School whose favorite fruit to eat is Grapes. Express the estimate both symbolically and verbally.
Many manufacturers have quality control programs that include inspection of incoming materials for defects. Suppose a computer manufacturer receives computer boards in lots of five. Three boards are selected from each lot randomly for inspection. If we number the boards 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, a possible random selection is (2, 4, 5). a. List the ten different possible selections. b. Suppose that the boards 1 and 4 are the only defective boards in a lot of five. Three boards are to be chosen at random. Define X as the number of defective boards observed among those inspected. Find the probability distribution (pmf) of X.
a as a list b as a table c as a tree diagram 4 Four cards marked 6, 7, 8 and 9 are in a hat. One card is drawn out and placed on a table. This is to be the tens digit of a two-digit number. Another card is then drawn out of the hat and placed beside the first card to complete the number. a Draw a tree diagram to show the sample space of this experiment. b How many outcomes are in the sample space? c If the cards are drawn at random, what is the chance of getting the number 78?
Homecoming. A college Statistics class conducted a survey concerning community attitudes about the col-lege’s large homecoming celebration. That survey drew its sample in the following manner: Telephone numberswere generated at random by selecting one of the localtelephone exchanges (first three digits) at random andthen generating a random four-digit number to followthe exchange. If a person answered the phone and thecall was to a residence, then that person was taken to bethe subject for interview. (Undergraduate students andthose under voting age were excluded, as was anyonewho could not speak English.) Calls were placed until asample of 200 eligible respondents had been reached.a) Did every telephone number that could occur in thatcommunity have an equal chance of being generated?b) Did this method of generating telephone numbersresult in a simple random sample (SRS) of localresidences? Explain.c) Did this method generate an SRS of local voters?Explain.d) Is this method unbiased in…
a. Find the sample space using a tree diagram to show the possibilities Elaine has to choose a mattress. b. What is the probability that Elaine chooses a memory foam-topped mattress? Write the number of ways Elaine chooses a memory foam-topped mattress. (Refer to sample space)
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.
An experiment consists of rolling an 8 sided (octahedron shaped) fair die followed by flipping a fair coin.The die has sides labeled 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and the coin has sides H and T.Draw a tree diagram for this situation, and list the sample space for this experiment. Find theprobability of rolling an even number and getting an H on the coin flip.
Participants in a study of a new medication received either medication A or a placebo. Find P(placebo and improvement). You may find it helpful to make a tree diagram of the problem on a separate piece of paper. Of all those who participated in the study, 80% received medication A. Of those who received medication A, 76% reported an improvement. Of those who received the placebo, 62% reported no improvement.
