A psychological test has scores that range from 0 to 10 (whole numbers only). The stable range is given by scores ranging from 3-8 (inclusive); the group scoring less than 3 are labeled as Low Risk, while those with a score greater than 8 are labeled as High Risk. In a certain population of interest, the probability that a person is psychologically stable is 86%, and the probability that a person is from the High Risk group is 4%. A random sample of 10 people is taken from this population. What is the expected number of people NOT from the stable group? Question 9 options: 0.14 14.0 1.40 8.60 None of the above

A researcher selects a sample of 6 men and 11 women. She asks participants to rate the likelihood they would do female-stereotyped jobs (such as nursing or school teaching) on a scale from 1 = not likely at all to 5 = very likely. Men indicated that they would be less likely to do these jobs (M = 2.1) compared with women (M = 4.3). What is the weighted mean for the combined sample of 17 total participants? O O 2.1 4.3 3.2 3.5

In an article that appears on a website,† Carlton Gunn, a public defender in Seattle, Washington, wrote about how he uses statistics in his work as an attorney. He states the following. I personally have used statistics in trying to challenge the reliability of drug testing results. Suppose the chance of a mistake in the taking and processing of a urine sample for a drug test is just 1 in 100. And your client has a "dirty" (i.e., positive) test result. Only a 1 in 100 chance that it could be wrong? Not necessarily. If the vast majority of all tests given—say 99 in 100—are truly clean, then you get one false dirty and one true dirty in every 100 tests, so that half of the dirty tests are false. Define the following events as given below. TD = event that the test result is dirty TC = event that the test result is clean D = event that the person tested is actually dirty C = event that the person tested is actually clean (a) Using the information in the quote, compute the following…
Tony B. is attempting to start a landscaping business. He estimates that to break even, he will need about 150 customers. He believes that he will lose approximately $500 per customer for each customer fewer than the 150. At the moment, he believes there is an 80% probability that he will be able to secure between 130 and 170 customers, and that there is a 50/50 chance that demand will be greater than 160 customers. What is the mean or expected number of sales? Need to know how to calculate?
What was the age distribution of nurses in Great Britain at the time of Florence Nightingale? Thanks to Florence Nightingale and the British census of 1851, we have the following information (based on data from classic text Notes on Nursing, by Florence Nightingale). Note: In 1851 there were 25,466 nurses in Great Britain. Furthermore, Nightingale made a strict distinction between nurses and domestic servants. Find the probability that a British nurse selected at random in 1851 would be 70 years of age or older. Round your answer to nearest thousandth.
