Sarah’s friend David claims that he can read minds. To test the claim, Sarah chooses three different numbers from 1 to 5. Sarah then asks David to identify which three numbers she chose in the correct order. If David has no special abilities and is randomly guessing the numbers, then what is the probability David correctly identifies all three numbers in the correct order?

Does the location of your seat in a classroom play a role in attendance or grade? 1600 students in a physics course were randomly assigned to one of four groups. The 400 students in group 1 sat 0 to 4 meters from the front of the class, the 400 students in group 2 sat 4 to 6.5 meters from the front, the 400 students in group 3 sat 6.5 to 9 meters from the front, and the 400 students in group 4 sat 9 to 12 meters from the front. Complete parts (a) through (c). Click the icon to view the chi-square table of critical values. (a) For the first half of the semester, the attendance for the whole class averaged 83%. So, if there is no effect due to seat location, we would expect 83% of students in each group to attend. The data show the attendance history for each group. How many students in each group attended, on average? Is there a significant difference among the groups in attendance patterns? 3 4 Group Attendance 1 0.84 0.84 0.84 0.80 The number of students who attended in the first…

Ethan has a bag that contains strawberry chews, apple chews, and lime chews. He performs an experiment. Ethan randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Ethan performs the experiment 47 times. The results are shown below: A strawberry chew was selected 36 times. A apple chew was selected 9 times. A lime chew was selected 2 times. If the experiment is repeated 600 more times, about how many times would you expect Ethan to remove a lime chew from the bag? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
A technology store holds a contest to attract shoppers. works: An ace and four other cards are shuffled and placed face down on a table. The customer gets to turn over cards one at a time, looking for the ace. The person wins $100 of store credit if the ace is the first card, $50 if it is the second card, and $20, $10, or $5 if it is the third, fourth, or last card chosen. What is the average dollar amount of store credit given away in the contest? Estimate with a simulation of 10 trials.
