Use the data in the following table that shows results from a polygraph (lie detector) conducted by researchers Charles R. Honts and Gordon H. Barland. In each case, it was known if the subjects lied or did not lie, so the table indicates when the polygraph was correct. If two different subjects are randomly selected without replacement, find the probability that they both lied.

A study prospectively examined whether sleep-disordered breathing was associated with an increased risk of death from any cause in a cohort of 600 adults participating in the Sleep Heart Health Study. Study participants were classified into four groups depending on the extent of their sleep-disordered breathing (none, mild, moderate, or severe). The counts of deaths over the course of the study are reported for each group in the following two-way table. Mild Severe 100 Death No Death Total None 40 100 140 40 100 140 Moderate 20 100 120 Total 200 400 600 100 200 We want to know whether the study findings give evidence of a significant difference of the number of deaths between the different groups. Set up the alternative hypothesis (H, : The distribution of the categorical variable is not as given by the null hypothesis (lack of fit) At least ones of the means is different from the others O The two categorical variables are dependent The distribution of the categorical variable is not…

A random sample of cars was classified by size: small, medium, and large, and by region of manufacture: Asia, Europe, and North America. The following data resulted: Size of Car Small Mid-size Total Region of Manufacture Asia 92 54 2 148 Europe 19 17 40 North America Total 26 53 36 115 137 124 42 1. Among the cars manufactured in Asia, what is the probability of selecting a large car? 2. What is the probability of selecting a car that is mid-size or manufactured in North America? 3. What is the probability of selecting a car manufactured in Europe? If three cars are selected at random and without replacement, what is the probability they are all small cars manufactured in Asia? 4. Are 'region of manufacture' and 'size of car' independent or dependent? Justify your conclusion mathematically.
