Jacki is getting married in the spring. She apparently wants to have an outdoor ceremony. She has chosen a beautiful area of Arizona for the event where it has rained historically only 6 days each year (e.g., 6 of 365 days). Unfortunately, rain is predicted for the day of her wedding. When it actually rains, the weatherman in this area of Arizona correctly forecasts rain 92% of the time. When it doesn't rain, he incorrectly forecasts rain 15% of the time. What is the probability that it will rain the day of Jacki’s wedding?

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.

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
