Picky randomly barks only 40% of the time as strangers pass by the house. Loomi randomly barks 30% of the time. Assume this is a Bernoulli Random process and that strangers pass the house one-by-one. Suppose Picky and Loomi are both on guard, what is the average number of strangers to hear the 1st bark? avoid rounding off. (4 significant figures)

What is the sampling distribution of x?
When 2 births are randomly selected, the sample space for genders is bb, bg, gb and gg. Assume that those 4 outcomes are equally likely. Construct a table that describes the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of girls from 2 births. Dies the mean of the sample proportions equal the proportion of girls in 2 births? Does the result suggest that a sample proportion is an unbiased estimator of a population proportion? For the entire population, assume the probability of having a boy is 1/2, the probability of having s girl is 1/2 and this is not affected by how many boys or girls have previously been born. Determine the probabilities of each sample proportion, (type integers or simplified fractions)

Three items are drawn in randomly from a population of 7 items. The item drawn may be defective or non-defective.Random variable is the occurrence of non-defective items. Total defective items in the population are two. Make a frequency distribution table of the random variable. Find the expected value of non-defective items in the random experiment.
Suppose you are playing a game and you get to roll 40 six-sided dice on your next turn. If you get a total of 160 or more from the 40 dice, you will win the game. Using sampling distributions, what is the probability that you will get a total of 160 or more with the 40 dice? Some useful things to know: When one six-sided die is rolled, the die roll (or number of spots showing) has a mean of 3.5 and a standard deviation of approximately 1.71.
Suppose a family has three children. Assume the likelihood of a girl (G) and boy (B) is the same. How many possibilities are there in the SAMPLE SPACE?
A research team is working on a project to study the time (in seconds) for high school male runners to finisha 400-meter race. Jimmy, a junior researcher in the team, has randomly selected a sample of 25 male runnersfrom a high school and the time (in seconds) for each of them to complete a 400-meter race was recorded.The sample mean running time was 53 seconds. It is assumed that the running time in a 400-meter racefollows a normal distribution with a population standard deviation of 5.5 seconds.(a) Give a point estimate of the population mean running time for a 400-meter race.(b) Calculate the sampling error at 95% confidence level.(c) Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean running time for a 400-meter race. (d) If instead of 25, 80 male runners are selected for the study, what is the sampling error at 95% confidencelevel? When the 95% confidence interval is constructed based on a sample with 80 male runners, wouldyou expect the interval will be (I)…

Suppose that three of your family (ex: mother,father and you) drop their cell phones at your house and that each of them picks up the cellphone at random, list the elements of the sample space S using using the letter O and N for own phone and not his/her own phone to be picked, respectively. To each sample point assign a value x of the random variable X representing the number of people who get their right cell phone . Complete the table below.
