An instructor gave students the option to purchase an interactive program that allows them to answer questions during class and receive credit for participating. Alternatively, students could work an extra problem during weekly homework assignments. The instructor randomly selected 10 students, then randomly divided them into two groups of five each. One group was provided the interactive tool, the other group was asked to work the extra problem. The instructor knew from prior experience that the interactive tool increases attendance. The table below contains the final exam scores for the 10 students (on a scale from 0 to 100). Interactive: 65 78 84 88 96 Extra problem: 56 61 70 75 82 The instructor wishes to test whether increased attendance throughout the semester leads to improved exam scores. Let µ I = mean score that would be observed if all students used the interactive tool and µ E = mean score if all students worked an extra problem. The hypothesis to be tested is image: µ I…
One of the worst movies ever made was a film called Waterworld. The film was set in a future world in which ice caps have melted and water covers the Earth. Kevin Costner stars as The Mariner, a mutant who can breathe under water. His job is to protect a young girl who has what may be a map of dry land tattooed on her back; an evil gang riding Jet Skis is trying to kidnap her to get the map. The first thing the film’s producers did was pay Kevin Costner $14 million to star in the film. Then they started actual filming, and things went wrong very quickly. The movie was filmed almost entirely on and under water – many in the crew became seasick each day, much of the camera equipment did not work well under water, and scenes were taking much longer than expected to shoot. A series of accidents added to the costs and further delayed production. After 6 months of filming, the movie was not quite complete. Producers of the film discussed whether they should just stop everything and walk…
You have a 1000 USD in 1-dollar notes. You have 10 empty envelopes. Your task is to distribute the notes among the envelopes in such a way that should someone ask you for an amount between 1 and a 1000 USD, you will be able to provide it with a combination of envelopes. For example, you could be asked to provide 1, 17, 238, 987 – or any other amount between 1 and 1000. How will you split the notes?

A forest consists of two types of trees; those that are 0-5 ft and those that are taller than 5 ft. Each year, 40% of all 0-5 ft trees die. 10% are sold for $20 each. 30% stay between 0-5 ft and 20% grow more than 5 ft. Each year 50% of all trees taller than 5 ft are sold for $50, 20% are sold for $30 and 30% remain in the forest. A. What is the probability that a 0-5 ft tall tree will die before being sold and if a tree less than 5 ft is planted what is the expected revenue earned from that tree. (not solved with excel please)
It’s that time of year again when Grandma Kim is having a fundraiser for the church. Everyone is bringing something to sell and I am bringing brownies, cookies, and muffins.

Chris and Ed decide to help each other by doing repairs on each other's houses. Chris is a carpenter and Ed is an electrician. Chris does carpentry work on his house as well as on Ed's house. Similarly, Ed does electrical repairs on his house and on Chris's house. When they are all finished they realize that Chris spent 42% of his time on his own house and 58% of his time on Ed's house, and that Ed spent 56% of his time on his own house and 44% of his time on Chris's house. If they originally agreed that the total of the work should amount to $9000, how much money should each get for their work?
