Falcon Air is a small commuter airline. It uses a type of plane that has only 9 passenger seats. Past records indicate that 30% of people making a reservation do not show up for the flight. Therefore, Falcon Air decides to accept up to 12 reservations. Assume that all reservations are independent; that is, each reservation is for one person, and these reservations are made independent of one another. Supnose that 10

A poll released this week found that in a random sample of registered voters, 60% indicated that they think a fenmale "will run" for the presidency, 30% said a female “will not run," and 10% had “no opinion." When asked their opinions on whether or not a female could be elected, 66% of those who said a female "will run" thought a female could be elected; 25% of those who thought a female "will not run" thought a female could be elected; whereas, 20% of those who had no opinion said 4. that a female could be elected. а. [2] What percentage of registered voters (in this sample) thought that a female could be elected? [2] Given that a person thought that a female could be elected, what is the probability that this person said a female "will not run" for the presidency? b. [3] Given that a person thought that a female could be elected, which is more likely: that this person said a female “will not run" for the presidency or that this person said a female “will run" for the presidency? C.
A product shipment contains 6 computer chips, of which two (2) are defective. If an inspector selects 4 chips at random for an order, without replacement, how many ways are there of picking both defective chips in this order (of 4 chips)? Order does not matter.
An article regarding interracial dating and marriage recently appeared in the Washington Post. Of the 1,709 randomly selected adults, 315 identified themselves as Latinos, 323 identified themselves as blacks, 254 identified themselves as Asians, and 779 identified themselves as whites. In this survey, 86% of blacks said that they would welcome a white person into their families. Among Asians, 77% would welcome a white person into their families, 71% would welcome a Latino, and 66% would welcome a black person. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the percent of all black adults who would welcome a white person into their families. What is the error bound? (Round to 4 decimal places)
The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA collected data from 203,967 incoming first-time, full-time freshmen from 270 four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. 71.2% of those students replied that, yes, they believe that same-sex couples should have the right to legal marital status. Suppose that you randomly pick six first-time, full-time freshmen from the survey. You are interested in the number that believes that same-sex couples should have the right to legal marital status.Give the distribution of X. (Enter exact numbers as integers, fractions, or decimals.)
A Statistics instructor wishes to know the average age (in month) of his 200 students. He decides to choose 25 students from the class and ask them for their age. All 200 names are put in a hat and 25 names are then chosen at random (without replacement). The average age of the students chosen is observed to be 231 months. The group of 25 students is known as what?
Consider a political discussion group consisting of 4 Democrats, 9 Republicans, and 6 Independents. Suppose that two group members are randomly selected, in succession, to attend a political convention. Find the probability of selecting two Democrats.
A. The Computer Geek Org has 23 members: 3 freshmen, 5 sophomore, 7 junior, and 8 senior students. If you are going to pick a certain number of name/s at random, at least how many should you pick to make sure that you have 2 students with the same year level? Use the pigeonhole principle and state your conclusion.
The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA collected data from 203,967 incoming first-time, full-time freshmen from 270 four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. 71.8% of those students replied that, yes, they believe that same-sex couples should have the right to legal marital status. Suppose that you randomly pick seven first-time, full-time freshmen from the survey. You are interested in the number that believes that same-sex couples should have the right to legal marital status.What is the standard deviation (σ)? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)σ = What is the formula for the standard deviation of a binomial distribution?
In a soon to be released Halloween martial arts movie, a pumpkin has a starring role. Because of the rather violent nature of the film, the producers have also hired a stunt pumpkin. Suppose the featured pumpkin appears in 40% of all the film scenes, the stunt pumpkin appears in 30% of the film scenes and the two appear simultaneously in 5% of the scenes. Draw the Venn diagram to reflect information given in the problem. Are the events the stunt pumpkin appearing in a scene and the featured pumpkin appearing in a scene mutually exclusive (disjoint)? Explain how you know. Are the events the stunt pumpkin appearing in a scene and the featured pumpkin appearing in a scene independent? Explain how you know. What is the probability that in a given scene that only the stunt pumpkin appears? You have three events A, B, & C. Suppose: Event A is the event of drawing a king from a deck of 52 cards on the first draw. Event B is the probability of drawing a queen of hearts on the…
After an earthquake, 32 homes in a remote area were checked by public safety officers before nightfall. They found that 22 of the houses had no gas, including 10 houses whose own gas lines were damaged. (A house loses its gas service if it has damage to its own line or if there is damage to the feeder line.) Of those houses that lost their gas, only 4 did not lose their electricity. Twenty-four houses in all had no electricity, the same number of them lost only their electricity as those that both lost electricity and had damage to their gas lines. How many of the houses checked did not lose either gas or electricity, and how many lost only their gas service! Students, draw anywhere on this slide!
An insurance company is thinking about offering discounts on its life insurance policies to nonsmokers. As part of its analysis, the company randomly selects 200 men who are 60 years old and ask them if they smoke at least one pack of cigarettes per day and if they have ever suffered from heart disease. 10 out of the 38 smokers had suffered from some type of heart disease and 12 out of 150 nonsmokers had suffered from some type of heart disease. Can we conclude at the 5% level of significance that smokers have a higher incidence of heart disease than nonsmokers? (Don't hand writing solution)
In a series of studies, Sebastian Deri and his colleagues (2017) asked multiple groups about the number of friend groups they had and how often they attended different social events. They then asked participants how they thought their own numbers compared to other people's: Did participants see themselves as less social, the same as, or more social than others? In the first study, the researchers reported that: "Three hundred four participants from Amazon's Mechanical Turk (150 women; Mage = 37.1; 78% White, 10% Black, and 6% Asian) completed a survey in exchange for modest payment" (p. 860). What do the researchers mean by "Amazon's Mechanical Turk" with respect to their sample of participants? O A. An archival data set that already exists and from which researchers can use data O B. An online tool that researchers can use to recruit people to participate in research in exchange for a small payment O C. An e-book sold by Amazon that includes contact information for possible…
