Q4. The components of a 6-component system are to be randomly chosen from a bin of 25 used components. The resulting system will be functional if at least 5 of its 6 components are in working condition. If 15 of the 25 components in the bin are in working condition, what is the probability that the resulting system will be functional?

Two construction contracts are to be randomly assigned to one or more of three firms: I, II, and III. Any firm may receive both contracts. If each contract will yield a profit of $102,000 for the firm, find the expected profit for firm I. If firms I and II are actually owned by the same individual, what is the owner's expected total profit?
Suppose that 20% of the adult population in Palestine smoke cigarettes only, 15% smoke Argeeleh only, and 10% smoke both cigarettes and Argeeleh. Suppose that 15% of those who smoke cigarettes only have respiratory problems, 10% of those who smoke Agreeleh only have respiratory problems, 20% of those who smoke both cigarettes and Argeeleh have respiratory problems, and 5% of non-smokers have respiratory problems. If an adult person is randomly selected from the population: What is the probability that he/she has respiratory problems? If the selected individual has respiratory problems, what is the probability that he/she is non-smoker? If the selected individual has respiratory problems, what is the probability that he/she smokes both cigarettes and Argeeleh?
You're a sociologist studying whether grocery prices are different in the inner cities than they are in the suburbs. To investigate this, you pick a random set of items (a basket of goods), and then send shoppers to buy these items at an inner city (IC) grocery, and also at a suburban (SU) grocery. You pick 27 different baskets of goods, so your secret shoppers buy 27 baskets, once at the inner city store, and once at a suburban store. The data is given in the dataset named "ICvSU_2799.xls", which you can find in data folder under Course Documents. Prices could be higher in the inner city because of discrimination, or they could be higher in the suburbs because of the greater disposable income. Use Excel to test the research hypothesis that inner city prices are different than the suburb's prices. The null hypothesis is that inner city prices are equal to suburban prices. You test at the alpha = 0.01 significance level. What do you conclude? Are prices the same? Who has higher…

I was wondering if you could help me understand how to find the probability of failure of the entire deck system assuming that the failures of groups A, B and C are independent of each other and that the failures of sub-groups B1 and B2 are also independent of each other
students were assigned a quiz that contains 7 independent multiple-choice problems. Each problem was worth 1 point and has 4 choices, where only one of them is correct. A pirate, who does not understand probability and statistics, disguises himself as a clever student and tried to pass one of the quizzes. Unlike our students, he is not able to solve the problems and, thus, decides to randomly choose an answer for each problem. Let X be a random variable representing the score of the pirate on the FIRST problem of the quiz. What distribution does X follow?

A dairy farmer thinks that the average weight gain of his cows depends on two factors: the type of grain that they are fed and the type of grass that they are fed. The dairy farmer has four different types of grain from which to choose and three different types of grass from which to choose. He would like to determine if there is a particular combination of grain and grass that would lead to the greatest weight gain on average for his cows. He randomly selects three one-year-old cows and assigns them to each of the possible combinations of grain and grass. After one year he records the weight gain for each cow (in pounds) with the following results. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant difference in the average weight gains among the cows for the different types of grain? Cow Weight Gain (Pounds) Grass A Grass B Grass B Grain A 359359 327327 232232 277277 250250 163163 191191 304304 216216 Grain B 331331 348348 176176 318318 205205…

7. A new drug study was conducted by a drug company. In the study, 10 people were chosen at random to take Vitamin X for 3 months and then have their cholesterol levels checked. In addition, 10 different people were randomly chosen to take Vitamin Y for 3 months and then have their cholesterol levels checked. All 20 people had cholesterol levels between 8 and 10 before taking one of the vitamins. The drug company wanted to see which of the 2 vitamins had the greatest impact on lowering people's cholesterol. The following data was collected: Vitamin X 7.27.5 5.2 6.5 7.7 10 6.47.6 7.77.8 Vitamin Y 4.8 4.44.5 5.1 6.5 8.03.1 4.6 5.2 6.1 (a) Draw a box-and-whisker plot for both sets of data on the same number line. (b) Use the double box-and-whisker plots to compare the 2 vitamins and provide a conclusion for the drug company. (e) State the skewness of both distributions and justify your answer.
