A gum ball machine contains 24 gum balls. Some are purple and the rest are yellow. There are 5 times as many purple gum balls as yellow. Because the purple gum balls are slightly smaller than the yellow, each purple gum ball is 3 times as likely to be dispensed as each yellow gum ball. An experiment consists of the machine dispensing one gum ball. Let each gum ball be considered one outcome. 1. What weight should be assigned to each purple gum ball? 2. What is the probability of the event that a yellow gum ball is dispensed?

Concept explainers

Contingency Table

A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.

Binomial Distribution

Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.

Phosphorous is a chemical that is found in many household cleaning products. Unfortunately, phosphorous also finds its way into surface water, where it can harm fish, plants, and other wildlife. Two methods of phosphorous reduction are being studied. At a random sample of 7 locations, both methods were used and the total phosphorous reduction (mg/L) was recorded. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value a small amount and thereby produce a slightly more "conservative" answer. Things that are labelled i underneath a b c, etc are all part of that part.

2. In a population it is estimated that 20% have a desired trait of interest for the researcher. The researcher wants to know how many people on average he has to draw from a population to get 2 people with the trait. Use rows 20-24 of the Random Number Table to carry out the simulation. Explain clearly how you set up the problem and report your findings. Answer:
A population has SS = 30 and σ2 = 3. How many scores are in the population?
