In October, 1994, a flaw in a certain Pentium chipinstalled in computers was discovered that could result ina wrong answer when performing a division. The manufacturerinitially claimed that the chance of any particulardivision being incorrect was only 1 in 9 billion, so that itwould take thousands of years before a typical userencountered a mistake. However, statisticians are nottypical users; some modern statistical techniques are socomputationally intensive that a billion divisions over ashort time period is not outside the realm of possibility.Assuming that the 1 in 9 billion figure is correct and thatresults of different divisions are independent of oneanother, what is the probability that at least one erroroccurs in one billion divisions with this chip?

A grocer finds that the cantaloupes in his store have weights with mean 0.7 kg and standard deviation 53 grams. If this is true, then 99.7% of cantaloupes will have weights between how many grams?
Read the following passage and observe the word length of each word. Make a frequency distribution of word length. “Statistics play an intrinsic role in computer science and vice versa. Statistics is used for data mining, speech recognition, vision and image analysis, data compression, artificial intelligence, and network and traffic modeling. A statistical background is essential for understanding algorithms and statistical properties that form the backbone of computer science. Typically, statistical approach to models tends to involve stochastic (random) models with prior knowledge of the data. The computer science approach, on the other hand, leans more to algorithmic models without prior knowledge of the data. Ultimately, these come together in attempts to solve problems.”
A professor believes that, in recent years, the ethnic composition of the students in the university has changed. According to the data collected a few years ago, there were 70% of students from European origins, 20% Asian origins, 5% Indigenous, and 5% Others. To test his belief, he randomly sampled 500 students and recorded their ethnicity as shown below: European 318 Asian 132 Indigenous 25 Others 25 The professor conducted a chi-squared goodness-of-fit test. Which of the following is the obtained chi-squared statistic for this test? A. 5.1443 B. 8.7898 C. 0.2288 D. 13.1657 E. 10.9777

A psychologist would like to know whether the season (autumn, winter, spring, and summer) has any consistent effect on people's sexual activity. In the middle of each season, a psychologist selects a random sample of 22 students. Each individual is given a sexual activity questionnaire. A one-factor ANOVA was used to analyze these data. Complete the following ANOVA summary table (a = 0.02). Round your answers to three decimal places, if necessary. Source Between Within Total SS 867.72 df MS F 2.98 P-value
