Problem 9. You have a revolver that holds up to five bullets and a revolver that holds up to eight bullets. You simultaneously pull each gun's trigger and then randomize the position of the bullets by spinning the cylinders. You repeat this until each gun fires at least one time. a. What is the expected number of trials for both guns to fire? b. Suppose instead that you simultaneously pull the triggers until a gun fires. Now, what is the expected number of trials?

You are management for a chain of department stores. Your analytics team believes that the proportion of months with lost sales for one of your department stores is 25%. You believe it is higher than this, so you gather some data for the last 4 years. You find that for 48 months there were 17 months where there were lost sales. Do you have enough evidence to doubt your analytics team? a) What is the null hypothesis? b) What is the alternative hypothesis? c) What is the claimed population proportion? d) What is the sample proportion (called the test statistic) e) What is the std deviation f) What is the z-value of the test statistic? g) What is the p-value h) What is the conclusion in words
The Food Marketing Institute shows that 17% of households spend more than $100 per week on groceries. Assume the population proportion is p = .17 and a simple random sample of 800 households will be selected from the population. What is the random variable in this narrative?
A. Free Throw Shot - A player is awarded free throws whenever the player is fouled in a shooting motion. A free throw is counted as one point if the ball went in the basket and zero if it misses. Based on Piel's stats in his previous games, he makes 60% of his free throws. To improve, he shots 5 free throws every day in practice. Suppose the random variable, X, is the number of times Piel makes a basket in 5 free throw attempts. This illustrates a random experiment following a distribution with number of trials, n, equal to and probability of making a basket, p, equal to Accordingly, below is the probability distribution table for the number of baskets made in his practice, X. X P[X = x] 0 1 2 0.0102 0.0768 0.2304 3 0.3456 In his practice, the probability that he can get 2 to 4 points is the chance that he will make a perfect score is 4 0.2592 5 While

An ice cream parlor serves 10 flavors of ice cream. Carrie and Jimmy each randomly and independently choose 3 out of those 10 flavors. Use the method of indicators to find the expected number of flavors chosen by both Carrie and Jimmy and simplify your final answer**** ****Each person has to choose 3 different flavors (Vanilla- Vanilla-Chocolate is not ok) but their flavors are allowed to overlap (Chocolate-Vanilla-Strawberry for Carrie and Chocolate- Blueberry-Mint for Jimmy is ok). The order of flavors doesn’t matter.

2. In a population it is estimated that 20% have a desired trait of interest for the researcher. The researcher wants to know how many people on average he has to draw from a population to get 2 people with the trait. Use rows 20-24 of the Random Number Table to carry out the simulation. Explain clearly how you set up the problem and report your findings. Answer:
You currently work for the DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. You've received reports of some strange things occurring in the small town of Hawkins, Indiana. Let U be a random variable equal to 1 if the citizen has been to the Upside Down and 0 otherwise. Let S be a random variable equal to 1 if a citizen reports being in the presence of a group of misfit kids who claim to be "saving the town" and 0 otherwise The table below shows the joint probability density function for the galactic population Share of Population 0.15 0.32 0.50 0.03 U 0 0 1 1 S 1 0 1 0 Round to 2 decimal places where necessary, unless otherwise stated. Leave your answer in decimals, rather than convert to percentages. A. Evaluate Fu,s (1,0): B. Calculate the share of people who have been to the Upside Down in the population. That is, E(U): C. Calculate the probability of having gone to the Upside Down conditional on meeting this band of misfit kids?. That is, Fus (11):

You are to submit 2 real life examples of statistical statements and state if they are biased or unbiased Example: A toothpaste advertisement states that 3 or 4 people prefer their product. This could be a biased survey, one that is not based on a random sample. They could have asked exactly 4 people about their product. An unbiased sample accurately represents the population. Each member of the population is equally to be chosen Example: A person wants to find out how many people prefer chocolate of vanilla ice cream. To get an unbiased sample, she would pick out a few of the ice cream shops in her town and survey people leaving the establishment.
