A stockroom dlerk retums three safety helmets at random to three steel mill employees who had previously checked them. If Smith, Jones, and Brown, in that order, receive one of the three hats, list the sample points for the possible orders of retuming the helmets, and find the value m of the random variable M that represents the number of correct matches.

When two births are randomly selected, the sample space for genders is bb, bg. gb, and gg. Assume that those four outcomes are equally likely. Construct a table that describes the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of girls from two births. Does the mean of the sample proportions equal the proportion of girls in two births? Does the result suggest that a sample proportion an unbiased estimator of a population proportion? For the entire population, assume the probability of having a boy is the probability of having a girl is , and this is not affected by how many boys or girls have previously been born. 2 Determine the probabilities of each sample proportion.

A researcher is comparing the effectiveness of three devices designed to help people who snore. There are 210 people who snore participating in the experiment. Using a table of random digits starting from the first row and column, the researcher will randomly place the participants into three equally sized treatment groups suitable for comparison. Which number range would be needed to label the subjects correctly? O 0-2 O 1-3 O 000-210 O 001-210
The proportion of brown M&M's in a milk chocolate packet is approximately 14%. Suppose a package of M&M's typically contains 57 M&M's. a) State the random variable. b) List the given numbers with correct symbols. = 57 = 0.14 c) Explain why this is a binomial experiment. Check all that apply. There are more than two outcomes for each M&M There are a fixed number of M&Ms, 57 Whether or not one randomly selected M&M is brown will not affect whether or not another randomly selected M&M is brown There is not a fixed number of M&Ms There are only two outcomes for each M&M p = 14% remains constant from one randomly selected M&M to another Whether or not one randomly selected M&M is brown will affect whether or not another randomly selected M&M is brown Find the probability, to 4 decimal places: It is possible when rounded that a probability is 0.0000 d) exactly none are brown. e) exactly 54 are brown. f) at least…
2. In a population it is estimated that 20% have a desired trait of interest for the researcher. The researcher wants to know how many people on average he has to draw from a population to get 2 people with the trait. Use rows 20-24 of the Random Number Table to carry out the simulation. Explain clearly how you set up the problem and report your findings. Answer:
A stockroom clerk returns 4 safety helmets at random to 3 steel mill employees who had previously checked them. If Ador, Cardo and Fernan, in that order, receive one of the 3 hats, find the expected value of the random variable M that represents the number of incorrect matches.
A study compares students who use a website and students who do not use the website. In addition to asking the students in the samples about GPA, each student was also asked how many hours he or she spent studying each day. The two samples (141 students who were users of the website and 68 students who were not users of the website) were independently selected from students at a large, public university. Although the samples were not selected at random, they were selected to be representative of the two populations. n USE SALT For the sample of users of the website, the mean number of hours studied per day was 1.46 hours and the standard deviation was 0.83 hours. For the sample of students who do not use the website, the mean was 2.77 hours and the standard deviation was 0.99 hours. Do these sample data provide convincing evidence that the mean time spent studying for users of the website at this university is less than the mean time spent studying by students at the university who do…
A car dealer is interested in comparing the average gas mileages of four different car models. The dealer believes that the average gas mileage of a particular car will vary depending on the person who is driving the car due to different driving styles. Because of this, he decides to use a randomized block design. He randomly selects five drivers and asks them to drive each of the cars. He then determines the average gas mileage for each car and each driver. Can the dealer conclude that there is a significant difference in average gas mileages of the four car models? The results of the study are as follows.

A sporting goods manufacturing company wanted to compare the distance traveled by golf balls produced using four different designs. Nine balls were manufactured with each design and were brought to the local golf course for the club professional to test. The order in which the balls were hit with the same club was randomized to the pro did not know which type of ball was being hit. All 36 balls were hit (assuming the environmental conditions played no role). The resulting distances in yards were recorded and are shown in the following table: Design 1 Design 2 Design 3 Design 4 206.32 217.08 226.77 230.55 207.94 221.43 224.79 227.95 206.19 218.04 229.75 231.84 204.45 224.13 228.51 224.87 209.65 211.82 221.44 229.49 203.81 213.90 223.85 231.10 206.75 221.28 223.97 221.53 205.68 229.43 234.30 235.45 204.49 213.54 219.50 228.35 Write a set of hypotheses to test the mean…
An adventure company runs two obstacle courses, Fundash and Coolsprint, with similar designs. Since Fundash was built on rougher terrain, the designer of the courses suspects that the mean completion time of Fundash is greater than the mean completion time of Coolsprint. To test this, she selects 205 Fundash runners and 260 Coolsprint runners. (Consider these as independent random samples of the Fundash and Coolspring runners.) The 205 Fundash runners complete the course with a mean time of 77.6 minutes and a standard deviation of 8.2 minutes. The 260 individuals complete Coolsprint with a mean time of 76.0 minutes and a standard deviation of 7.7 minutes. Assume that the population standard deviations of the completion times can be estimated to be the sample standard deviations, since the samples that are used to compute them are quite large. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there enough evidence to support the claim that the mean completion time, u,, of Fundash is greater than…
