Suppose that a die is rolled twice. What are the possible values that the following random variables can take 1. the maximum value to appear in the two rolls; 2. the value of the first roll minus the value of the second roll? 3. Calculate the probabilities associated with the above two random variables?

Becky and Carla take an advanced yoga class. Becky can hold 29% of her poses for over a minute, while Carla can hold 35% of her poses for over a minute. Suppose each yoga student is asked to hold 50 poses. Let B the proportion of poses Becky can hold for over a minute and C = the proportion of poses Carla can hold for over a minute. What is the probability that Becky's proportion of poses held for over a minute is greater than Carla's? Find the z-table here.

The accompanying data are from an article. Each of 309 people who purchased a Honda Civic was classified according to gender and whether the car purchased had a hybrid engine or not. Male Female Hybrid 76 33 Not Hybrid 116 84 Suppose one of these 309 individuals is to be selected at random. Determine if the probabilities P(hybrid male) and P(male hybrid) are equal. If not, explain the difference between these two probabilities. O Yes, the probabilities are equal. No, the probabilities are not equal. The first is the probability that a hybrid Honda Civic owner is male, and the second is the probability that a male Honda Civic owner purchased a hybrid. O No, the probabilities are not equal. The first is the probability that a male Honda Civic owner purchased a hybrid, and the second is the probability that a hybrid Honda Civic owner is male.

Q1. Some couples planning a new family would prefer at least one child of each sex. The probability that a couple’s first child is a boy is 0.512. In the absence of technological intervention, the probability that their second child is a boy is independent of the sex of their first child, and so remains 0.512. Imagine that you are helping a new couple with their planning. If the couple plans to have only two children: What is the probability that at least one girl is born?
