A Dinner Club goes out to eat once a week. It visits three kinds of restaurants, Asian, Mediterranean, and Mexican, but they never visit the same type of restaurant two weeks in a row. If they go to an Asian restaurant one week then they are equally likely to go to a Mediterranean as a Mexican the next week. If they go to a Mediterranean restaurant one week then they are two times as likely to to go to an Asian as a Mexican the next week. If they go to a Mexican restaurant one week then they are three times as likely to go to an Asian as a Mediterranean the next week. If we think of this as a Markov Chain in which state 1 is Asian, state 2 is Mediterranean, and state 3 is Mexican, then what is the transition matrix? 1 2 ½ (B) (A) (C) (D) 17 1/ 3 31 1/ 1/ 21 1/

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 27 different baskets of goods, so your secret shoppers buy 27 baskets, once at the inner city store, and once at a suburban store. The data is given in the dataset named "ICvSU_2799.xls", which you can find in data folder under Course Documents. 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 = 0.01 significance level. What do you conclude? Are prices the same? Who has higher…
You have three jars containing marbles, as follows:jar 1 600 red and 400 whitejar 2 900 blue and 100 whitejar 3 10 green and 990 whitea. If you blindly select one marble from each jar,calculate the probability of obtaining(1) a red, a blue, and a green.(2) three whites.(3) a red, a green, and a white.(4) a red and two whites.(5) a color and two whites.(6) at least one white.b. In a certain plant, R = red and r = white. You self a redR/r heterozygote with the express purpose of obtaining awhite plant for an experiment. What minimum numberof seeds do you have to grow to be at least 95 percentcertain of obtaining at least one white individual?c. When a woman is injected with an egg fertilized invitro, the probability of its implanting successfully is20 percent. If a woman is injected with five eggssimultaneously, what is the probability that she willbecome pregnant? (Part c is from Margaret Holm.)
Wendy needs to get to an airport from a hotel. There is 0.33 chance that she calls a cab, there is 0.11 chance that she gets a Uber. If she cannot get a cab or Uber, she will take a shuttle. If she calls a cab, there is 0.29 chance that she could miss the flight. If she gets a Uber, the chance of missing flight is 0.22. If she takes the shuttle, the chance is 0.28. What is the probability that she misses the flight? (Round your answer to three decimal places)
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
A vending machine contains 1000 lollipops. Some of the lollipops are red, and the others are blue. You don’t know how many there are of each color. However, you do know that these two alternatives are equally likely. There are 900 blue lollipops and 100 red ones. There are 500 blue lollipops and 500 red ones. When you put a coin into the vending machine, it gives you a lollipop, chosen at random. Suppose that it gives you a blue lollipop. What is the probability that there are 900 blue lollipops and 100 red ones? Show how you got the answer.
On Mr. Casper's debate team at Thunderbird High School, 20% of the members are Sophomores, 35% are Juniors and 45% are Seniors. A team member is selected randomly to give the closing argument for the team. If a sophomore gives the closing argument, the team has a probability of 0.25 of winning the debate. If a junior gives the closing argument, the probability of winning is 0.6. If a senior closes, the probability of winning is 0.85. (a) Find the probability that the team wins the debate. b sketch a tree diagram to model this process

XYZ Construction Company has three loaders operating every day in a construction site. During any day, each loader that is operating at the beginning of the day has a 0.25 chance of breaking down. If a loader breaks down during the day, it is sent to a repair station and will be working (operational) two days after it breaks down. (Thus, if a loader breaks down during day 3, it will be working at the beginning of day 5. Let the state of the system be the number of operational loaders at the beginning of the day. How many states does the system have?
. A swimmer, Sarah, hopes to compete in an upcoming meet. There are 8 team members eligible for the breaststroke event at the meet, but only 1 team member will be randomly selected to compete in that event. There are 4 team members eligible for the butterfly event at the meet, but only 1 team member will be randomly selected to compete in that event. Sarah is eligible to compete in both events. What is her chance of being selected for at least one of the two events? Select one: a. 1 in 4 b. 1 in 8 c. 3 in 8 d. 3 in 12
