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.

A researcher was interested in how much longer the heart rate recovery time is for untrained college students compared to athletically trained college students. Eleven athletically untrained college students and nine athletically trained college students were put on a treadmill for fifteen minutes and then tested to see how many minutes it took for their heart rates to return to normal. The results of the study are shown below. Untrained: 8, 7, 7.2, 6.9, 7.8, 8.8, 8, 8, 8.8, 7.3, 8.6 Trained: 1.5, 1.5, 1.8, 2, 1.9, 2.3, 2.3, 2.4, 2.2 Assume both follow a Normal distribution. Compute the 95% confidence interval for the difference. Round to one decimal place. ( ___________ , _____________ )

You take a sample of n = 50 rats and you put them in three different cages: On day 1, they are in a cage that is in a room with a 65-degree temperature. On day 2, they are in a cage with a 70-degree temperature. On day 3, they are in a cage with a 75-degree temperature. For each rat, you determine at which of the three temperatures they spent the most time running on their wheel. Then, for each different temperature, you determine the number of rats (the frequency of rats) that ran the most at that temperature. You discover the following frequencies: At 65 degrees, 22 rats ran the most of any day. At 70 degrees, 18 rats ran the most of any day. At 75 degrees, 10 rats ran the most of any day. You want to test a null hypothesis that says rats are equally likely to run the most at any of the three temperatures. What kind of hypothesis test should you do?

Toddlers tend to have an abundance of energy. To put that energy to good use a fitness instructor creates a Toddler Fitness class. In this class the participants have to do everything the fitness instructor’s energetic toddler daughter does. To compare the number of calories burned in Toddler Fitness versus the standard fitness class 40 volunteers are recruited. The volunteers are assigned at random to participate in Toddler Fitness or the standard fitness class. Each participant wears a calorie counting fitness watch. At the end of the class the calories burned by each participant is recorded and the average number of calories burned is calculated for each class. After the classes ended, the instructor learned that the mean number of calories burned by the participants in Toddler Fitness was significantly greater than the mean number of calories burned by the participants in the standard fitness class. Which of the following is the most appropriate conclusion? (A) There is…

The data from this experiment are presented below. No drug Small dose Large dose 5, 3 , 1 , 1 , 5 5, 5, 9, 6, 5 10, 12, 9, 6, 8 =3, SS=16 =6, SS=12 =9, SS=20 Do these data indicate any significant differences among the three groups? Test with α=0.05.

In a science fair project, Emily conducted an experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could sense her energy field. She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left hand, and then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under Emily's hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among 350 trials, the touch therapists were correct 165 times. Complete parts (a) through (d).
