An experiment consists of selecting three items from a box of several items. The three items are classified defective (D) or non defective (N) as they are selected. Give the sample space for this experiment: A, B, and C, where A is exactly one defective.

The Psychic Friends Network (PFN) received telephone calls in 1999 from over 1.5 million people. A journal article attempted to shed some light onto the credibility of the PFN. One of the psychic friends' psychics agreed to take part in the following experiment. 10 cards are shown to the "psychic" then shuffled, and one is chosen at random. The psychic will then try to identify which card was drawn without seeing it. Assume that the experiment was repeated 15 times and that the results of any two experiments are independent of one another. Step 1 of 4: If we assume that the psychic is a fake (i.e, they are merely guessing at the cards and have no psychic powers), how many of the 15 cards do we expect the psychic to guess correctly? (Round your answer to the nearest integer)

Wal-Mart wants to introduce a new subscription service (called Plum) that would result in customers getting free two-day delivery. Wal-Mart introduces Wal-Mart Plum to a random sample of 99 customers. You are hired by Wal-Mart to analyze if the introduction of Plum andtwo-day delivery increases sales for Wal-Mart. You find that the 99 random customers that were offered Plum Two Day Delivery spent $2,500 per year on Wal-Mart with a sample standard deviation of $500 in sales. (A) Test whether the sales of Wal-Mart Plum are statistically different from zero at an alpha of 1% (99% confidence level). Set up your null and alternative hypotheses. Test at the 1% level of significance. Show your test and critical statistics. Are the sales for Two-Hour Plum Delivery statistically different from 0? Interpret your answer. Show your work (B) Suppose the typical Wal-Mart consumer spends $2000 a year. Test whether the introductionof Wal-Mart Plum Delivery increased sales. Set up your null and…

Suppose you are interested in buying a new Lincoln Navigator or Town Car. You are standing on the sales lot looking at a model with different options. The list price is on the vehicle. As a salesperson approaches, you wonder what the dealer invoice price is for this model with its options. The following data are based on a random selection of these cars of different models and options. Let y be the dealer invoice (in thousands of dollars) for the given vehicle. x 32.4 32.9 36.1 44.0 47.8 y 30.4 31.0 32.0 42.1 42.2 (b) Use a 10% level of significance to test the claim that ρ > 0.

A biologist wishes to study the effect of the pollinating number of insects on yields of dates on a large dates farm located in the governorate of Musandam. Using your statistics knowledge, you propose to her that for better inferential statistics she should use systematic random sampling to select a sample of 100 date trees from the 2000 date trees in the farm. Which of the following is true? Select one: O a. The population is 100 date trees selected from the farm O b. Systematic sampling is a convenient sampling method O c. The sampling size will be 20 O d. Systematic sampling is obtained by taking every pth element from the population
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
