Define a sample space for the experiment of putting in a random order seven differ- ent books on a shelf. If three of these seven books are a three-volume dictionary, describe the event that these volumes stand in increasing order side by side (i.e., volume I precedes volume II and volume II precedes volume III).

A coin is flipped once. If the result is a heads, the coin is flipped 2 more times, and the result (heads or tails) of each successive flip is noted. If the result is a tails, the coin is flipped 4 more times and the result of each successive flip is noted. How many possible outcomes are in the sample space of this experiment?
In a memory test, the test subjects are given a large number and are asked to memorize it. Historical records show that 80% of test subjects pass the test. To pass the test, a subject must exactly repeat all the digits in the number after two hours. A random sample of 625 people to take the memory test is going to be chosen. Let p be the proportion of people in the sample who pass the test. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Find the mean of P. 0 (b) Find the standard deviation of p. 0 (c) Compute an approximation for P(P >0.84), which is the probability that more than 84% of the people in the sample pass the test. Round your answer to four decimal places. 0 X

In a survey, it was found that 80% of adults operate the flusher of toilets in public restrooms with their foot. (a) If 300 adults are randomly selected, how many would we expect to flush toilets in public restrooms with their foot? (b) Would it be unusual to observe 255 adults who flush toilets in public restrooms with their foot? (a) We would expect (Type a whole number.) adults to flush toilets in public restrooms with their foot. (b) Would it be unusual to observe 255 adults who flush toilets in public restrooms with their foot? Choose the correct answer below. O A. Yes, because 255 is greater than u + 2o. O B. No, because 255 is greater than u + 20. O C. Yes, because 255 is between u - 20 and u+ 20. O D. No, because 255 is less than u- 20. O E. No, because 255 is between u -20 and u+ 20.
An experiment is performed where a 3-color spinner is spun and then a 4-sided die is rolled. The possible outcomes for each event are red (R), blue (B), and yellow (Y) for the 3-color spinner and 1, 2, 3, and 4 for the 4-sided die. Identify the sample space for this experiment.
