**Question 3**John sends out a chain letter, in which he says that the recipient will get incredible good luck if the chain is continued, and terrible luck if it isn't. John sends the letter to 10 people, and instructs them that to continue the chain, they must each send it out to ten more people.Only half the people actually follow John's instructions. In fact, for each subsequent set of chain letters sent out, only half the people follow instructions.Count: the 0th level of this chain to be John, the 1st level of this chain to be the five people who follow the instructions in John's letter, and so on. How many people will be at the 8th level of this chain (i.e., how many people will send out letters at this level)?

Given: People in 0th level = 1 (John) People in 1st level = 5

Answered: QUESTION 3 john sends out a chain…

Suppose that we've decided to test Clara, who works at the Psychic Center, to see if she really has psychic abilities. While talking to her on the phone, we'll thoroughly shuffle a standard deck of 52cards (which is made up of 13 hearts, 13 spades, 13 diamonds, and 13 clubs) and draw one card at random. We'll ask Clara to name the suit (heart, spade, diamond, or club) of the card we drew. After getting her guess, we'll return the card to the deck, thoroughly shuffle the deck, draw another card, and get her guess for the suit of this second card. We'll repeat this process until we've drawn a total of 14 cards and gotten her suit guesses for each.Assume that Clara is not clairvoyant, that is, assume that she randomly guesses on each card. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Estimate the number of cards in the sample for which Clara correctly guesses the suit by giving the mean of the relevant distribution (that is, the expectation of…

After an earthquake, 32 homes in a remote area were checked by public safety officers before nightfall. They found that 22 of the houses had no gas, including 10 houses whose own gas lines were damaged. (A house loses its gas service if it has damage to its own line or if there is damage to the feeder line.) Of those houses that lost their gas, only 4 did not lose their electricity. Twenty-four houses in all had no electricity, the same number of them lost only their electricity as those that both lost electricity and had damage to their gas lines. How many of the houses checked did not lose either gas or electricity, and how many lost only their gas service! Students, draw anywhere on this slide!
