A sample of 100 students is to be taken to determine which of two brands of beer is preferred in a blind taste test. Suppose that, in the whole population of students, 50% would prefer brand A. a. What is the probability that more than 60% of the sample members prefer brand A?b. What is the probability that between 45% and 55% of the sample members prefer brand A? c. Suppose that a sample of only 10 students was available. Indicate how the method of calculation of probabilities would differ, compared with your solutions to parts (a) and (b)?

Assume that the box contains 5 balls: 2 yellow, 1 white, and 2 green. Balls are drawn in succession without replacement, and their colors are noted until both a yellow and a white ball have been drawn. 1. Which of the following is not a valid outcome for this experiment? A. WGY B. GGWY C. YGYW D. YWG 2. How many outcomes are there in the sample space?
Suppose that a particular candidate for public office is in fact favored by p = 48% of all registered voters. A polling organization is about to take a simple random sample of voters and will use the sample proportion to estimate p. Suppose that the polling organization takes a simple random sample of 500 voters. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be greater than 0.5?

. In an organization consisting of 5 women and 10 men, a committee of four individuals is to be selected at random from the 15 people. Find the distribution of the random variable, X = Number of women on the committee.
A social scientist wishes to conduct a survey. She plans to ask a yes/no question to a random sample from the U.S. adult population. One proposal is to select 100 people; another proposal is to select 900 people. Which of the following is true regarding the sample proportion ô of "yes" responses? A. O The sample proportion from the sample of 900 is more likely to be close to the true population proportion, p. B. The sample proportion from sample of 100 is more likely to be close to the true population proportion, p. C. The sample proportion in either proposal is equally likely to be close to the true population proportion, p, since the sampling is random.
Students at Hereford High School want to investigate whether they have more school spirit than students at Blake High School. To test this hypothesis, the students will select a random sample of students from each school and determine the proportion of the sampled students who wear school colors to their respective pep rallies. Let pHpH represent the proportion of Hereford students who wear school colors to their pep rally and pBpB represent the proportion of Blake students who wear school colors to their pep rally. Which of the following are the correct null and alternative hypotheses for the investigation?

What is the probability of having the infectious disease for people with the chronic disease?c. What is the probability of having the infectious disease for people without the chronic disease?d. What is the probability of not having the infectious disease for people with the chronicdisease?
