In an office complex of 1100 employees, on any given day some are at work and the rest are absent. It is known that if an employee is at work today, there is an 80% chance that she will be at work tomorrow, and if the employee is absent today, there is a 51% chance that she will be absent tomorrow. Suppose that today there are 913 employees at work.

A group of 250 people, if it is known that their average weekly wage is 324.48 dinars. Of them, 7 were earning 12.2 dinars an hour, 21 of them earned 544.32 dinars a week, 58 of them earned 48.96 dinars a day, 9 of them earned 6.19 dinars an hour, and 18 of them earned 74.48 dinars a day. . Knowing that they work 7 hours a day, and 6 days a week, find the following 1- The average wage for the rest of the people in the week ۲- The average wage for the remaining people per hour
There are X-Mart and Y-Mart convenience stores. It is assumed that each customer purchases once a week at one of the two supermarkets (but not both). In a study, a sample of 100 buyers was taken for 10 weeks. From this research it is known that if buyers go to X-mart store one week, 85 people will still buy at X-mart store the following week and if buyers go to Y-mart store one week, 70 people will still buy at Y-mart store. mart the following week. 1. Make a table and matrix of transition probabilities. 2. If John purchases at X-mart in the first week, what is the probability that Bob purchases at X-store in the third and fourth weeks?
Certain app allows you to order from different types of cuisine. According with the app's records 23% of the orders are to an American food restaurant, 38% to an Asian food restaurant, 17% to a Mexican food restaurant, 6% to a Dessert place, and the rest are to other types of restaurants. Assume that incoming orders are independent of each other.
A researcher is interested in the affects that a person’s avatar (i.e. visual representation of oneself) has on the number of profile views on Facebook.com. The average number of individual personal profile views is known to be 230 views per day (excluding bands, artists, etc.). The researcher creates 36 fictitious profiles that contain roughly the same information but the picture (avatar) is an animated .gif of a smiling face (36 faces randomly selected from a compilation of faces judged to be of average attractiveness). The results showed that of the 36 profiles the average number of views was 250 with a standard deviation of 60. Test the hypothesis that the average number of views for a smiling face gif is significantly different than the usual number of personal profile views.
A large retail lawn care dealer currently provides a 2-year warranty on all lawn mowers sold at its stores. A new employee suggested that the dealer could save money by just not offering the warranty. To evaluate this suggestion, the dealer randomly decides whether or not to offer the warranty to the next 50 customers who enter the store and express an interest in purchasing a lawnmower. Out of the 25 customers offered the warranty, 10 purchased a mower as compared to 4 of 25 not offered the warranty. a. Place a 95% confidence interval on 7₁ - 72, the difference in the proportions of customers purchasing lawnmowers with and without the warranty. b. Test the research hypothesis that offering the warranty will increase the propor- tion of customers who will purchase a mower. Use a = .05. c. Are the conditions for using a large-sample test to answer the question in part (b) satisfied? If not, apply an exact procedure,
Sarah believes that completely cutting caffeine out of a person's diet will allow him or her more restful sleep at night. In fact, she believes that, on average, adults will have more than two additional nights of restful sleep in a four-week period after removing caffeine from their diets. She randomly selects 8 adults to help her test this theory. Each person is asked to consume two caffeinated beverages per day for 28 days, and then cut back to no caffeinated beverages for the following 28 days. During each period, the participants record the numbers of nights of restful sleep that they had. The following table gives the results of the study. Test Sarah's claim at the 0.05 level of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal. Let the period before removing caffeine be Population 1 and let the period after removing caffeine be Population 2. Numbers of Nights of Restful Sleep in a Four-Week Period With Caffeine 24 22 24 20…
Suppose you try to conduct a presidential approval poll of 10,000 likely U.S. voters. You know that 44% of the voters are registered with the Independent party, 28% are registered with the Reform party and 23% are registered with the Green party. If you are going to construct a representative sample of this population, approximately how many of the likely voters in the sample should be Green party?
In a certain city, with a population of 1,000,000 people, 17 people have been infected with a disease. Five of these people are superspreaders. Superspreaders do not get sick, but will always be infected. Out of the remaining infected people, 50% do not get sick, and do not isolate, but will spread the disease for a week and then will no longer be infected. 35% will self-isolate and get better. The remaining 15% get sick and are admitted to hospital. Within a week, a superspreader will infect 0.1% of the population. A spreader is only infected for a week but will infect 0.01% of the population. Everyone in self-isolation will recover within a week. 50% of people in hospital will die, while the other 50% make a full recovery. a) Following this trend, what happens to the population over time?
A person, Joe, claims to be able to "smell" an illness based on the odor of a person's clothing. Joe is given 12 shirts, each worn by a different person, some of whom had the illness and some of whom did not. The shirts were given to Joe in random order and he had to decide whether each shirt had been worn by an ill patient or by a healthy patient. joe identified 11 of the 12 shirts correctly. If we assume that Joe was just guessing, he would have probability 1/2 of correctly identifying each shirt. Find the probability that Joe would identify AT LEAST 11 shirts correctly by random guessing
Suppose that after the 2020 presidential election there are three races that are too close to call: Wisconsin,Michigan, and Pennsylvania. In order to become president, a candidate must receive 270 electoral votes ormore. Wisconsin has 10 electoral votes, Michigan has 16, and Pennsylvania has 20. Suppose that in theother decided races, Democrats have 259 electoral votes and Republicans have 233. The Democrat has an80% chance of winning Wisconsin, a 50% chance of winning Michigan, and a 10% chance of winningPennsylvania. A statistician defines a random variableXto be +1 if the Democrat wins,−1 if theRepublican wins, and 0 if neither candidate reaches 270 electoral votes. Find the probability densityfunction ofX. (Hint: Make this easier by figuring out the scenario in which the Republican wins or there isa tie!)
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…
