Jack and Jill are in an airplane soaring high above majestic Lake Tahoe. Jack is considering jumping out of the airplane but does not have a parachute. Jill is wearing the newest and keenest parachute ever made. Jack reasons that if he jumps out of the plane then Jill, being the gallant noble woman she is, is likely to jump out of the plane, bore through the wind like Greg Lemond in a time trial, and rescue him before he hits the water. Jack measures his happiness in life using MuggleMoney (mm). If he doesn’t jump out of the plane then his plane ride trip with Jill around the big lake is worth 100 mm. If he jumps out of the plane and Jill saves him he will receive 300 mm of happiness. If he jumps out of the plane and Jill doesn’t attempt to save him (and he hits the water with a big splat) his happiness falls to -100 mm. Please complete this sentence: Jack will jump out of the plane if he believes the probability of Jill ___________ is ___________ than ___________ percent.

Internet Audience At the end of a certain year, the four companies with the largest number of home Internet users in the United States were Microsoft, Time Warner, Yahoo, and Google, with a combined audience of 284 million users. Taking x to be the Microsoft audience in millions, y the Time Warner audience in millions, z the Yahoo audience in millions, and u the Google audience in millions, it was observed that zu = x + y = and xy + zu = 44. How large was the audience of each of the four companies at the end of that year? Microsoft Time Warner Yahoo Google 3(x - y) + 8 50 + z + u
MAKE SURE YOU SELECT 2 ANSWERS FOR THIS QUESTION - Type of test and hypothesis. Professor Ratzo wonders if rats will run a maze faster for some kinds of foods than for others. He randomly assigns 30 rats to one of three conditions, 10 rats to each condition. Group 1 gets buttered bread at the end of the maze, Group 2 gets cheddar cheese, and Group 3 gets honey- glazed ham. The number of seconds each rat took to run the maze is recorded. The hypothesis is that type of food makes a difference in rat running time. Choose the type of test you should use to test this hypothesis? Then choose the correct hypotheses in symbol notation (or words if symbol is not appropriate).

Mr Hail, Miss rain and Mrs Snow all apply for a job as a park keeper. Whichever one gets the job will have to open the gates of the park at 5.30 am. If Mr Hail gets the job, he will only open the gates on time 50% of the time. If Miss rain gets the job she will only open the gates on time 40% of the time. If Mrs Snow gets the job she will always open the gates on time. Assume that Mr hail has a 40 % chance of getting the job, and that Miss rain and Miss Snow each have a 30 % chance of getting the job. What is the probability that the parks gates will be opened on time ? Question 39Select one: a. 0.6200 b. 0.3500 c. 0.2000 d. 0.3200 Refer to the question above. Using the same data, if the gates are opened on time, what is the probability that Mrs Snow got the job? Question 40Select one: a. 0.0857 b. 0.3429 c. 0.4839 d. 0.5061
A shoe company wants to determine if the new tread on its top line of running shoes lasts longer than the original tread. The company recruits 50 runners for a study. Each runner will perform their typical workout wearing one shoe with the original tread on one foot and another shoe with the new tread on the other foot. The foot that wears the new type of tread will be decided by flipping a coin. After one month, the runner will wear the new type of tread on the opposite foot. At the end of the second month, the difference in tread wear (New - Original) will be calculated. What type of sampling is described in this study? What is the appropriate inference procedure? one-sample t-test for μ one-sample z-test for p one-sample t-test for diff two-sample t-test for new original

A forest consists of two types of trees; young (between 0 and 3 m tall) and adults (more than 3 m). Each year, 20% of young trees die, 10% sell for $20 each, 30% remain between 0 and 3 m, and 40% grow taller than 3 m. Each year, 40% of adult trees sell for $50, 20% sell for $20, 30% remain in the forest, and 10% die. What percentage of the trees planted sell for $50?

Researchers want to know if coffee improves athletic endurance. They randomly assign 50 people to drink a cup of coffee, and 50 people to not drink coffee. Then all participants are asked to walk on a treadmill until they get tired. Researchers hypothesize that coffee drinkers will show more athletic endurance and walk on the treadmill for longer than non-coffee drinkers. What statistical test should researchers use to test their hypothesis? O At-test A chi-square O A Pearson correlation An ANOVA
