In 1983, Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky posed the now famous "Linda" problem, asking participants to rank the probabilities of certain statements after reading a short description. Replicating this experiment, a statistics teacher (named Mr. Zak) constructed a similar question about a young woman named "Wendy." Students read a short description of Wendy and were asked to determine which statement is more probable: (A) "Wendy is currently a public high school teacher," or (B) "Wendy is currently a public high school teacher and rides her bike to work most days." Based on Kahneman's results, this statistics teacher hypothesized that 30% of well-educated high school students would choose option B. As it turned out 68 students (in 2019) participated in the experiment and 25 chose option B. If we presume the 68 students are a random sample from well-educated high school and all conditions for inference are satisfied, what is the test statistic for a test of significance against the teacher's hypothesis? 1.217 O 1.157 O 1.374 O 2.059 2.378

2. Select a first-year college student at random and ask what his or her academic rank was in high school. Here are the probabilities, based on proportions from a large sample survey of first-year students: Rank: Top 20% Second 20% Third 20% Fourth 20% Lowest 20% Probability: 0.44 0.26 0.23 0.06 0.01 (a) What is the sum of these probabilities? Why do you expect the sum to have this value? (b) What is the probability that a randomly chosen first-year college student was not in the top 20% of his or her high school class? (c) What is the probability that a first-year student was in the top 40% in high school?
Do Babies Understand Probability?Can babies reason probabilistically? A study1 investigates this by showing ten- to twelve-month-old infants two jars of lollipop shaped objects colored pink or black. Each infant first crawled or walked to whichever color they wanted, determining their “preferred” color. They were then given the choice between two jars that had the same number of preferred objects, but that differed in their probability of getting the preferred color; each jar had 12 in the preferred color and either 4 or 36 in the other color. Babies choosing randomly or based on the absolute number of their preferred color would choose equally between the two jars, while babies understanding probability would more often choose the jar with the higher proportion of their preferred color. Of the 24 infants studied, 18 chose the jar with the higher proportion of their preferred color. Are infants more likely to choose the jar with the higher proportion of their preferred color? a) State…

A box contains 5 white, 8 green and 3 yellow (gold) marbles. A marble is drawn, its color recorded. Without putting it back, a second marble is drawn and its color recorded. a.Draw the tree diagram representing this experiment. b.Mark the probabilities on each branch of the tree diagram. c.List the possible outcomes of this experiment. Notice order matters so WG is different from GW. d.List the outcomes that comprise each of the following events. i.Event A: No yellow marble is drawn. ii.Event B: The two marbles drawn have the same color.e.What is the probability of getting all 3 colors?
