Problem 7. Imagine a square grid with bottom left point at (0,0) and top right point at (8, 8), and consider all possible paths from (0,0) to (8,8) which use only North and East steps. What is the probability that a path goes through the point (4, 4)? How is this problem similar to the problem involving coin tosses?

Buu has 6 different types (named 1 to 6) of chocolates (in large quantity). Now he plays a game to eat those chocolates. He throws a die (of six sides, non-biased, if the die shows 1, he eats chocolate 1. If the die shows 2, he eats chocolate 2 and so on. Now let X be the number of chocolates of type 1 are eaten and Y be the number of chocolates of type 2 are eaten. What is joint PMF of X and Y ?(Total number of times he roll the die is 4.)
The drivers are given a choice about how to cross a river in a town. The choices are either to use the bridge or the tunel. Both of the two options have the same length and take the same time.Let's suppose that when it is raining 4 out of 5 drivers prefer to use the tunnel. In that case, what is the probability to observe 14 out of 60 drivers using the bridge?
question 20.) I will post this question in three parts as it is long so i will seperate them into seperate questions, as i have been instructed to do so here. Nationally, patients who go to the emergency room wait an average of 7 hours to be admitted into the hospital. Do patients at rural hospitals have a lower waiting time? The 14 randomly selected patients who went to the emergency room at rural hospitals waited an average of 5.8 hours to be admitted into the hospital. The standard deviation for these 14 patients was 1.7 hours. What can be concluded at the the αα = 0.05 level of significance level of significance? A.)For this study, we should use Select an answer t-test for a population mean z-test for a population proportion B.)The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0:H0: ? μ p Select an answer ≠ > = < H1:H1: ? μ p Select an answer > < ≠ =

From the urn of Problem 1, ten balls are selected with replacement. Color Red Blue Green BrownNumber 4 3 2 1◼ 3.1. Estimate the probability that four or less red balls are selected.◼ 3.2. Estimate the probability that more than four blue balls are selected.
Suppose you are playing a game of Yahtzee. You know that you play with 5 dice, each with 6 sides. Since the dice are all rolled at the same time, let the roll (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) to be equal to (2, 4, 5, 1, 3). Assume for this question that we will only be rolling the dice once. (i) How many ways can you roll all the dice? (ii) To win 50 points you would need all the dice to roll the same number (ex. (1, 1, 1, 1, 1)). How many ways can you win the 50 points? (iii) Suppose you are trying to get your dice to roll only consecutive numbers (ex. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) or (2, 3, 4, 5, 6)) How many different ways are there to do this? (iv) Suppose instead you are trying to get your dice to roll 4 consecutive numbers (ex. (1, 2, 3, 4, 1) or (2, 3, 4, 5, 3)) How many different ways are there to do this? (make sure to not count any only consecutive numbers) This is a combinatorics math counting problem.
I have a cup with 5 red M&Ms, 4 yellow, and 3 green ones. I draw six at random (without replacement, order does not matter).How many ways are there to draw six at random which give two of each color? For this problem, it can help to imagine that the M&Ms are numbered 1 - 12, with number 1-5 red, 6-9 yellow, and 10-12 green. After that, proceed like we did with Poker hands.
Asmon does his assignment using one of the two method A and B. The probability of using method A is 30%. If he goes by methhod A the probability of beinglate for submission is 5%and if he goes by methd B, the probability of being late is 10%. a) Find the probability that Asmon is late forsubmission b) Given that Asmon is late forsubmission, find the probability that he went use method A
Suppose that we roll three (six-sided) dice 600 times. Find an approximation for theprobability that we obtain the “triple-one” combination (each dice showing the value 1)at most 3 times.
