(a) If you toss 10 coins, what percent of the time will you get the three most likely macrostates (6 heads and 4 tails, 5 heads and 5 tails, 4 heads and 6 tails)? (b) You can realistically toss 10 coins and count the number of heads and tails about twice a minute. At that rate, how long will it take on average to get either 10 heads and 0 tails or 0 heads and 10 tails?

2. Iconic memory is a type of memory that holds visual information for about half a second (0.5 second). To demonstrate this type of memory, participants were shown three rows of four letters for 50 milliseconds. They were then asked to recall as many letters as possible, with a 0-, 0.5-, or 1.0-second delay before responding. Researchers hypothesized that longer delays would result in poorer recall. The number of letters correctly recalled is given in the table for this between-subjects designs.

Question 4 Beachcomber Ltd in a local car dealership that sells used and new vehicles. The manager of the company wants to know how different variables affect the sales of his vehicles. A random sample of yearly data was taken with the view to testing the model: SALES=a+BAGE+YMIL+&ENG Where SÄLES= amount that a vehícle is sold for($000's), AGE = age of the vehicle, MIL= the total mileage of the vehicle at the point of sale and ENG= the size of the engine.

Beryllium is an extremely lightweight metal that is used in many industries, such as aerospace and electronics. Long-term exposure to beryllium can cause people to become sensitized. Once an individual is sensitized, continued exposure can result in chronic beryllium disease, which involves scarring of the lungs. In a study of the effects of exposure to beryllium, workers were categorized by their duration of exposure (in years) and by their disease status (diseased, sensitized, or normal). The results were as follows: Duration of Exposure <1 1 to <5 ≥5 Diseased 14 13 18 Sensitized 11 20 15 Normal 78 140 209 Test the hypothesis of independence. Use the a=0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. What do you conclude? State the null and alternate hypotheses.
1 (part 1). Does When Food Is Eaten Affect Weight Gain?A study was introduced that examined the effect of light at night on weight gain in mice. In the full study of 27 mice over a four-week period, the mice who had a light on at night gained signiﬁcantly more weight than the mice with darkness at night, despite eating the same number of calories and exercising the same amount. Researchers noticed that the mice with light at night ate a greater percentage of their calories during the day (when mice are supposed to be sleeping). The computer output shown below allows us to examine the relationship between percent of calories eaten during the day, DayPct, and body mass gain in grams, BMGain. A scatterplot with regression line is also shown below (attached image).Pearson correlation of BMGain and DayPct =0.740P-Value =0.000--------------------------------------------------------------The regression equation isBMGain=1.11+0.127DayPct Predictor Coef SE Coef T P Constant 1.113 1.382…
A sleep researcher is interested in learning about how to help people fall asleep faster at night without taking medicine. She asks n = 13 individuals to wear a device to bed for two weeks straight. Half of the participants were asked to spray their pillows with a lavender mist for the first week then sleep with a regular "unscented" pillow for the second week. The other half of the participants were asked to do the same thing, but in the opposite order: unscented pillow then lavender misted pillow. Testing at an alpha level of a = .01, she expects the lavender scented pillow to decrease the amount of time it takes people to fall asleep.
