Eight students attended a birthday party. Three of them were confirmed Covid-19 positive. The contact tracer had conducted a random test for only two students. Find the probability distribution for random variable X which represents the number of Covid-19 positive patients. What three statements of the problem can be concluded out of the topic Covid-19?

A new vaccine against the coronavirus has been developed. The vaccine was tested on 10,000 volunteers and the study has shown that 65% of those tested do not get sick from the coronavirus. Unfortunately, the vaccine has side effects and in the study it was shown that the probability of getting side effects among those who did not get sick is 0.31, while the probability of getting side effects among those who got sick from corona despite vaccination is 0.15. (a) Draw an event tree and show on the event tree all the probabilities in branch points.
Physicians at a clinic gave what they thought were drugs to 960960 asthma, ulcer, and herpes patients. Although the doctors later learned that the drugs were really placebos, 5252 % of the patients reported an improved condition. Assume that if the placebo is ineffective, the probability of a patients condition improving is 0.490.49. For the hypotheses that the proportion of improving is 0.490.49 against that it is >0.49>0.49, find the p-value. p=p=
I am confused when to use BinomPDF vs. BinomCDF; Find the probability that 17 or more of these 44 randomly-selected burials are babies. I know that from the probability is 13/51, I gathered this from the larger sample of data, however I do not know how to compute "or more"/"or fewer".
Xu and Garcia (2008)conducted a research study demonstrating that 8-month-old infants appear to recognize which samples are likely to be obtained from a population and which are not. In the study, the infants watched as a sample of n = 5 ping-pong balls was selected from a large box. In one condition, the sample consisted of 1 red ball and 4 white balls. After the sample was selected, the front panel of the box was removed to reveal the contents. In the expected condition, the box contained primarily white balls like the sample, and the infants looked at it for an average of M = 7.5 seconds. In the unexpected condition, the box had primarily red balls, unlike the sample, and the infants looked at it for M = 9.9. The researchers interpreted the results as demonstrating that the infants found the unexpected result surprising and, therefore, more interesting than the expected result. Assuming that the standard error for both means is σM = 1 second, draw a bar graph showing the two sample…
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…
In a study of 213,270 cell phone users, it was found that 77 developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Assuming that cell phones have no effect, there is a 0.000397 probability of a person developing cancer of the brain or nervous system. We therefore expect about 85 cases of such cancer in a group of 213,270 people. Estimate the probability of 77 or fewer cases of such cancer in a group of 213,270 people. What do these results suggest about media reports that cell phones cause cancer of the brain or nervous system? (a) P(x ≤ 77) = (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
Ten hens whose eggs recently hatched were selected at random. From each of these hens, two chicks were selected to test the effect of a vitamin supplement on early growth. The chicks in each pair were siblings of similar high birth weight. One chick in each pair was given the supplement and the other was not. After two weeks the weight of each chick was recorded. The researcher would like to test the research hypothesis that the supplement increases growth rate of chicks in the first weeks after hatching against the null hypothesis that it has no effect. The most appropriate test would be... A. z-test for the difference between two proportions. B. chi-square test. C. paired sample t-test. D. two sample t-test.
