Statistics: Probability: A bag contains an assortment of Jolly Rancher candies. Specifically, there are 5 apples, 8 watermelon, 10 cherry, and 15 grape flavored candies. You get to randomly select three candies without replacement. (a) Find the probability of picking three grape Jolly Ranchers. (b) Find the probability of not getting any apple Jolly Ranchers.
A clinical trial is conducted to compare an experimental medication to placebo to reduce the symptoms of asthma. Two hundred participants are enrolled in the study and randomized to receive either the experimental medication or placebo. The primary outcome is self-reported reduction of symptoms. Among 100 participants who receive the experimental medication, 38 report a reduction of symptoms as compared to 21 participants of 100 assigned to placebo. When you test if there is a significant difference in the proportions of participants reporting a reduction of symptoms between the experimental and placebo groups. Use α = 0.05. What should the researcher’s conclusion be for a 5% significance level? Reject H0because 2.64 ≥ 1.960. We have statistically significant evidence at α = 0.05 to show that there is a difference in the proportions of patients reporting a reduction in symptoms. We reject H0 at the 5% level because 2.64 is greater than 1.96. We do have statistically…

You draw two objects out of the box. What is the probability that the first object is a cube and the second object is a pyramid? Group of answer choices A. 1/8 B. 1/4 C. 1/2 D. 1/16
Probability of the Union of Two Sets Conceptual Overview: Explore how the probability of the union of two events equals the probability that either event occurs. The two circles shown below represent two events, A and B. The area of each circle represents the probability of the event. With no overlap you can see that the probability of one or the other of the two events (the union of A and B) written as P(A U B) is the sum of their probabilities. The union is often described as an "OR" statement. The union is the probability of A occurring OR B occurring OR both A and B occurring simultaneously (their intersection). Drag one of the circles so that the circles begin to overlap. You will see that the probability of the union decreases because some probability is included in both sets (their intersection). You can also drag the letter for each set to change its size and thus its probability. P(A) = 0.129, P(B) = 0.067, P(A U B) = 0.195 B
