Most railroad cars are owned by individual railroad companies. When a car leaves its home railroad's trackage, it becomes part of a national pool of cars and can be used by other railroads. The rules governing the use of these pooled cars are designed to eventually return the car to the home trackage. A particular railroad found that each month 60% of its boxcars on the home trackage left to join the national pool and 72% of its boxcars in the national pool were returned to the home trackage. If these percentages remain valid for a long period of time, what percentage of its boxcars can this railroad expect to have on its home trackage in the long run? % (Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.)

Human blood is classified by the presence or absence of three main antigens (A, B, and Rh). When a blood specimen is typed, the presence of the A and/or B antigen is indicated by listing the letter A and/or the letter B. If neither the A nor the B antigen is present, the letter O is used.The following table gives the percent of a country's population having each of the eight possible blood types in the sample space. Note that the presence or absence of the Rh antigen is indicated by the symbols + or −, respectively. Blood Types A+ A− B+ B− AB+ AB− O+ O− Percent 35.7 6.1 8.5 1.5 3.4 0.8 37.4 6.6 (a) What is the probability that a person selected at random from the population has a blood type that is type AB given that the person is Rh+? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)(b) What is the probability that a person selected at random from the population has a blood type that is Rh− given that the person is type O?

Part 1: The state of Maryland's arrest rate for marijuana possession in 2010 was the fourth highest in the nation. Public records for that year show that police arrested one out of every 250 Maryland residents for possession of marijuana. In addition, while Black people only comprised 30% of the State's population in 2010, 58% of those arrested for marijuana possession were Black. Use the following labels for events describing Maryland residents in the year 2010. M-AMP: Maryland resident was arrested for marijuana possession M-B: Maryland resident was a Black person a) What is the probability that a Maryland resident was arrested for marijuana possession in 2010? b) Use probability notation to express the cited percent values. 30% = P( 58% = P( c) Which of the values cited should be compared to determine whether race and arrests for marijuana possession in the state of Maryland in 2010 are independent?
In a US presidential election, the incumbent president wins with 51.5% of the vote to 48.2% for the primary challenger (and .3% to others). In a nationwide telephone poll of 1000 people conducted exactly one week before the election by a university polling group, 49% of people polled supported the incumbent president, 50% supported the challenger, and 1% supported other candidates. a. For the polling study, what was the population of interest? b. What was the sample? c. Why did the sample results differ from the population? d. What are two constants that might have limited the generalizability of the polling results?
A research wants to determine if pre-natal exposure to the hormones in birth control pills alters the sex makeup of midshipman fish populations (which are typically half male and half female).Specifically, the researcher wishes to test the hypothesis that exposure to hormones will increase the number of females in the population.The researcher exposes a group of pregnant midshipman fish to birth control hormones and records the sex of the first 13 offspring birthed.They then observe that 11 are female.Use a sign test and a alpha of .05 to test the indicated hypothesis.What is the critical value?

Three businesswomen are trying to convene in Cincinnati for a business meeting. The first women (Woman 1) is arriving on a flight from Atlanta, the second (Woman 2) is arriving on a flight from Dallas, and the third (Woman 3) is arriving on a flight from Chicago. Historical data suggests that the Atlanta flight is “on time” 90% of the time, the Dallas flight is “on time” 95% of the time, and the Chicago flight is “on time” 80% of the time. Furthermore, historical data suggests that the three flights are independent with respect to on time behavior. Define the sample space for this random experiment. Compute the probability for each of the outcomes in the sample space. Let W denote the number of business women that arrive on time. Construct the probability mass function of W Construct the cumulative distribution function of W Find the expected value of W Compute the standard deviation of W
