Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Smith both have two children. There are no twins. Mrs. Jones says that her older child is a girl. Mrs. Smith says that at least one of her children is a girl. (i) What is the probability that the other child of Mrs. Jones is also a girl? (ii) What is the probability that the other child of Mrs. Smith is also a girl? [Hint: Consider the sample space in each of the two cases.]

(Problem for Questions 22- 25). In a study focusing on children on the autism spectrum a team of psychologists were interested in the distribution of the children on the spectrum. After having 100 children complete some tests, they categorized children as Low, Medium, High on the autism spectrum. They counted how many children were in each category and this is what they came up with: Low AS 44 Medium AS 30 High AS 26
Suppose you are interested in testing Ho - 12 vs. Ha 12. Suppose o is 6, n is 100, and is 11.5. What is the p-value? Please use the statistics table to find the probability.
Family Entertainment Costs – The mean total costs for all forms of family entertainment (i.e. movies, toys, video games, plays, concerts, etc.) was $12,000 per year. Suppose that ? = $2000 and 36 families are randomly selected. Find the probability that the sample mean cost for these 36 families is a) Less than $11,000. b) More than $14,000. c) Between $11,000 and $14,000.
Organ Donors USA Today provided information about a survey of 5100 adult Internet users. Of the respondents, 2346 said they are willing to donate organs after death. In this survey conducted for Donate Life America, 100 adults were surveyed in each state and the District of Columbia, and results were weighted to account for the different state population sizes. a. What percentage of respondents said that they are willing to donate organs after death? b. Based on the poll results, what is the probability of randomly selecting an adult who is willing to donate organs after death? c. What term is used to describe the sampling method of randomly selecting 100 adults from each state and the District of Columbia?

Refer to the sample data for pre-employment drug screening shown below. If one of the subjects is randomly selected, what is the probability that the test result is a false positive? Who would suffer from a false positive result? Why? Pre-Employment Drug Screening Results Positive test result Negative test result Drug Use Is Indicated Drug Use Is Not Indicated Subject Uses Drugs 42 11 Subject Is Not a Drug User 2 29 The probability of a false positive test result is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Who would suffer from a false positive result? Why? O A. The person tested would suffer because he or she would be suspected of using drugs when in reality he or she does not use drugs. B. The employer would suffer because the person tested would not be suspected of using drugs when in reality he or she does use drugs. C.

A variable y of a finite population has the frequency distribution shown in the table. Suppose a member is selected at random from the population and let Y denote the value of the variable y for the member obtained. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. y 3 4 6. f 1 1 11 7 a. Determine the probability distribution of the random variable Y. 3 y P(Y = y) (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) b. Use random-variable notation to describe the events that Y takes on the value 5, a value less than 5, and a value of at least 5. The event that Y takes on the value 5 can be represented as The event that Y takes on a value less than 5 can be represented as The event that Y takes on a value of at least 5 can be represented as { }. c.

Refer to the following scenario. A government official is in charge of allocating social programs throughout the city of Vancouver. He will decide where these social outreach programs should be located based on the percentage of residents living below the poverty line in each region of the city. He takes a simple random sample of 127 people living in Gastown and finds that 20 have an annual income that is below the poverty line. For each of the following statements, specify whether the statement is a correct interpretation of the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of Gastown residents living below the poverty line. A. 15.75% (20/127) of Gastown residents are living below the poverty line. ? B. There is a 95% probability that the true proportion of Gastown residents who are living below the poverty line equals 20/127. ? C. If another random sample of 127 Gastown residents is drawn, there is a 95% probability that the sample proportion of Gastown residents who are living…
