Suppose that 16% of the people in a large city have used a hospital emergency room in the past year. If a random sample of 145 people from the city is taken, approximate the probability that at least 23 used an emergency room in the past year. Use the normal approximation to the binomial with a correction for continuity. Round your answer to at least three decimal places. Do not round any intermediate steps. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

Find the indicated probability and interpret the result. From 1975 through 2020, the mean annual gain of the Dow Jones Industrial Average was 653. A random sample of 33 years is selected from this population. What is the probability that the mean gain for the sample was between 400 and 800? Assume σ = 1540. The probability is ☐ (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Suppose that 0.6% of male professional golfers use steroids, and that Max is a male professional golfer who has been randomly selected to take a drug test. The test he has been asked to take has a false positive rate of 1% and a false negative rate of 10%. Use Bayes’ rule to calculate the probability that Max actually uses steroids if he tests positive for steroid use. Give your answer as a decimal precise to three decimal places. P=
Suppose that you are offered the following "deal." You roll a six sided die. If you roll a 6, you win $12. If you roll a 3, 4 or 5, you win $5. Otherwise, you pay $6.a. Complete the PDF Table. List the X values, where X is the profit, from smallest to largest. Round to 4 decimal places where appropriate. X P(X) b. Find the expected profit. $ (Round to the nearest cent)c. Interpret the expected value. This is the most likely amount of money you will win. You will win this much if you play a game. If you play many games you will likely win on average very close to $2.50 per game. d. Based on the expected value, should you play this game? Yes, since the expected value is 0, you would be very likely to come very close to breaking even if you played many games, so you might as well have fun at no cost. No, this is a gambling game and it is always a bad idea to gamble. Yes, since the expected value is positive, you would be very likely to come home with more…

Assuming a population is normally distributed, calculate the probability that a random member of the population falls between 3 standard deviations below the mean and 1 standard deviation below the mean. In other words in mathematical notation: P(-3 < z < -1) Enter your answer in decimal form. For example, 75% should be entered as 0.75.
