Hypothesis Testing - Statistics Some nurses working at the ABC medical center in Sunderland, New Jersy noticed an unusually high number of deaths when one specific nurse, JANE Deer, was working. The same nurses also discovered missing drugs (hEARt stimulants). Prosecutors Seeking a grand juRy indictment, provided the evidence below. Based upon this data, what is the probability that the difference in shifts with a death is due to random chance? would recommend charging JANE DeeR based upon this data? you DEER WAS Working DEER WAS Not working Shifts with a Death 41 35 Shifts with out a DEATH 218 1351

An investment counselor calls with a hot stock tip. He believes that if the economy remains strong, the investment will result in a profit of $40,000. If the economy grows at a moderate pace, the investment will result in a profit of $10,000. However, if the economy goes into recession, the investment will result in a loss of $40,000. You contact an economist who believes there is a 20% probability the economy will remain strong, a 70% probability the economy will grow at a moderate pace, and a 10% probability the economy will slip into recession. What is the expected profit from this investment?
In an article that appears on a website,† Carlton Gunn, a public defender in Seattle, Washington, wrote about how he uses statistics in his work as an attorney. He states the following. I personally have used statistics in trying to challenge the reliability of drug testing results. Suppose the chance of a mistake in the taking and processing of a urine sample for a drug test is just 1 in 100. And your client has a "dirty" (i.e., positive) test result. Only a 1 in 100 chance that it could be wrong? Not necessarily. If the vast majority of all tests given—say 99 in 100—are truly clean, then you get one false dirty and one true dirty in every 100 tests, so that half of the dirty tests are false. Define the following events as given below. TD = event that the test result is dirty TC = event that the test result is clean D = event that the person tested is actually dirty C = event that the person tested is actually clean (a) Using the information in the quote, compute the following…
The problem involves empirical probability. The table shows the breakdown of 87 thousand single parents on active duty in the U.S. military in a certain year. All numbers are in thousands and rounded to the nearest thousand. Use the data in the table to find the probability that a randomly selected single parent in the U.S. military is in the army. Marine Air Army 25 Navy Corps Force Total Male Female Total 23 10 65 10 7 1 4 22 35 30 14 87 The probability that a randomly selected single parent in the U.S. military is in the Army is (Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth as needed.)
Budget Airlines is a seasonal airline that operates flights from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, to various cities in the northeast. Recently Budget has been concerned about the number of lost bags. Ann Poston from the Analytics Department was asked to study the issue. She randomly selected a sample of 500 flights and found that a total of twenty bags were lost on the sampled flights. What is the probability that none of the bags were lost? Round your answer to four decimal places.
This is a Statistics problem. Please explain each step thoroughly. The problem I'm having issues with is shown below: In an experiment where you toss a fair coin twice, define events: AA : the first toss is heads. BB : the second toss is heads. CC : both tosses are the same. Show that AA and BB are independent. Show that AA and CC are independent. Show that BB and CC are independent. Finally, show that AA, BB, and CC are not mutually independent.
Virtually any process can be improved by use of statistics, including the law. A much publicized case that involved a debate about probability was the Collins case, which began in 1964. An incident of purse snatching in the Los Angeles area led to the arrest of Michael and Janet Collins. At their trial, an "expert" presented the probabilities listed in table below on characteristics possessed by a couple seen running from the crime scene: Characteristics Probability Man with beard 1/10 Blond woman 1/4 1/10 Yellow car Woman with ponytail Man with moustache Interracial couple 1/10 1/3 1/1000 The chance that a couple had all these characteristics together is 1 in 12 million. Because the Collinses had these characteristics, the Collinses must be guilty. Do yo see any problem with this line of reasoning? Hint: The question of interest is not "what is the probability of finding a couple with these characteristics?" because one such couple has been found (the Collinses), the question is "what…

According to the college registrar's office, 45% of students enrolled in an introductory statistics class this semester are freshmen, 20% are sophomores, 25% are juniors, and 10% are seniors. You want to determine the probability that in a random sample of five students enrolled in introductory statistics this semester, exactly two are freshmen. (a) Describe a trial. Can we model a trial as having only two outcomes? If so, what is success? What is failure? Choose one of the statements below:A. A trial consists of looking at the class status of a student enrolled in introductory statistics. Yes we can model this trial with "freshman" being a success and "any other class" as a failure.B. A trial consists of looking at the class status of a student enrolled in introductory statistics. Yes we can model this trial with "junior" being a success and "any other class" as a failure.C.

Multiple studies conducted in the United States, Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom show that the probability of dying in the hospital is higher if you are admitted on the weekend. Why might this be? What factors might contribute to this probability? What could hospitals do to reduce/eliminate this phenomenon?
