Suppose Alice is repeatedly doing an experiment. In each experiment, she tosses n coins. She does this experiment m times. In the first round, x1 coins yielded a head and y1 coins yielded a tail. Notice that, x1 + y1 = n. In the second round, x2 coins yielded a head and y2 coins yielded a tail. Once again, x2 + y2 = n. She does this experiment m times. Estimate the probability p of a coin yielding a head.

MAKE SURE YOU SELECT 2 ANSWERS FOR THIS QUESTION - Type of test and hypothesis. Professor Ratzo wonders if rats will run a maze faster for some kinds of foods than for others. He randomly assigns 30 rats to one of three conditions, 10 rats to each condition. Group 1 gets buttered bread at the end of the maze, Group 2 gets cheddar cheese, and Group 3 gets honey- glazed ham. The number of seconds each rat took to run the maze is recorded. The hypothesis is that type of food makes a difference in rat running time. Choose the type of test you should use to test this hypothesis? Then choose the correct hypotheses in symbol notation (or words if symbol is not appropriate).

Please provide step-by-step solution for the following: Machine Learning is the science of learning from experience. Suppose Alice is repeatedly doing anexperiment. In each experiment, she tosses n coins. She does this experiment m times. In the firstround, x1 coins yielded a head and y1 coins yielded a tail. Notice that, x1 + y1 = n. In the secondround, x2 coins yielded a head and y2 coins yielded a tail. Once again, x2 + y2 = n. She does thisexperiment m times. Your job is to estimate the probability p of a coin yielding a head. 1. What is your guess on the value of p?2. In Maximum Likelihood Estimation, we want to find a parameter p that maximizes all theobservations in the dataset. If the dataset is a matrix A, where each row a1, a2, · · · , am areindividual observations, we want to maximize P(A) = P(a1)P(a2)· · · P(am) because individual experiments are independent. Maximizing this is equivalent to maximizing log P(A) =log P(a1) + log P(a2) +· · ·+ log P(am). Maximizing this…
A shoe company wants to determine if the new tread on its top line of running shoes lasts longer than the original tread. The company recruits 50 runners for a study. Each runner will perform their typical workout wearing one shoe with the original tread on one foot and another shoe with the new tread on the other foot. The foot that wears the new type of tread will be decided by flipping a coin. After one month, the runner will wear the new type of tread on the opposite foot. At the end of the second month, the difference in tread wear (New - Original) will be calculated. What type of sampling is described in this study? What is the appropriate inference procedure? one-sample t-test for μ one-sample z-test for p one-sample t-test for diff two-sample t-test for new original
You are given the chance to play one of two games: One where there is a 20% chance of you winning 8 dollars and an 80% chance of winning 128 dollars. For the second game you have a 20% chance of winning two dollars and an 80% chance of winning 256 dollars. Which lottery is worth more on average, and how much is it worth discrete math
jared is opening several ice cream stores. The walls of the stores can be yellow or blue. He wants to determine if the color of the walls affects how much ice cream people eat. Jared finds 164 volunteers. He randomly assigns half of them to a room with yellow walls and lets them eat as much chocolate ice cream as they want for one hour. He assigns the other half to a room with blue walls and lets them eat as much vanilla ice cream as they want for two hours. Jared records the total amount of ice cream eaten in each room.Which would be an appropriate statistical model for Jared to use in order to determine if the color of the wall affects how much ice cream his customer will eat?
Zara and Sue play the following game. Each of them roll a fair six-sided die once. If Sue’s number is greater than or equal to Zara’s number, she wins the game. But if Sue rolled a number smaller than Zara’s number, then Zara rolls the die again. If Zara’s second roll gives a number that is less than or equal to Sue’s number, the game ends with a draw. If Zara’s second roll gives a number larger than Sue’s number, Zara wins the game. Find the probability that Zara wins the game and the probability that Sue wins the game. Note: Sue only rolls a die once. The second roll, if the game goes up to that point, is made only by Zara.

likely to get 19. Shreya conducted a study to see if name-brand flashlight batteries last longer than gencric batteries, on avcrage. For each of 20 flashlights, she flipped a coin. If it was heads shc uscd namc-brand batteries and if it was tails she used the generic brand. She left the flashlights on and recorded how long it took for the batterics to wear out. The results showed that the flashlights that had the name-brand batteries, on average, lasted significantly longer than the flashlights that used the generic brand. What type of design is this study? a. This study is an example of a simple random sample. b. This study is an example of a matched pairs experiment. This study is an example of a completely randomized experiment. This study is an example of an obscrvational study. c. d.
You are a contestant on a game show. There are three closed doors in front of you. The game show host tells you that behind one of these doors is a million dollars in cash, and that behind the other two doors there are trashes. You do not know which doors contain which prizes, but the game show host does. The game you are going to play is very simple: you pick one of the three doors and win the prize behind it. After you have made your selection, the game show host opens one of the two doors that you did not choose and reveals trash. At this point, you are given the option to either stick with your original door or switch your choice to the only remaining closed door. To maximize your chance to win a million dollars in cash, should you switch? Choices: A) Yes B) No C) It doesn't matter because the probability for you to win a million dollars in cash stays the same no matter if you switch or not.
