In Psychology, the fundamental question is:Will a lab rat, going through a maze, go left or right?In the advancement of science, you experiment. You conduct 10 trials, loosing a ratin the T-shape maze. The rat runs up the T shape and then goes either right or left.Assuming the rat is stupid (i.e. random behavior), what is the probability that the rat went left 4 of the 10 times?Disclaimer: No rats, real or fictitious, were harmed in this scientific inquiry.All rats were treated humanely... those rotten flea-bitten varmints!A (10*4)/1024B1/C(10,4)C4*3*2*1/(10*10*10*10)(D) 4/10E C(10,4)/1024F4*10/1024G (10 *9*8*7)/1024H 2*2*2*2/(10*9*8*7)

Richard has just been given a 10-question multiple-choice quiz in his psychology class. Each question has five answers, of which only one is correct. Since he has not attended class recently, he doesn’t know any of the answers. What makes up a trial? What is a success? What is a failure? What are the values of n, p, and q? Assuming Richard guesses on all 10 questions, find the indicated probabilities. What is the probability that he will answer all 10 correctly. What is the probability that he will answer all 10 incorrectly. What is the probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly. What is the probability that he will get at most 3 correct? What is the average number(expected value) of questions Richard will answer correctly What is the standard deviation?

Ponderosa Paint and Glass carries three brands of paint. A customer wants to buy another gallon of paint to match paint she purchased at the store previously. She can’t recall the brand name and does not wish to return home to find the old can of paint. So, she selects two of the three brands of paint at random and buys them. What is the probability that she matched the paint brand? Her husband also goes to the paint store and fails to remember what brand to buy. So, he also purchases two of the three brands of paint at random. Determine the probability that both the woman and her husband fail to get the correct brand of paint. (Hint: Are the husband’s selections independent of the wife’s selections?)
