Suppose there are three balls in a box. On one of the balls is the number 1, on another is the number 2, and on the third is the number 3. You select two balls at random and without replacement from the box and note the two numbers observed. The sample space S consists of the three equally likely outcomes {(1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 3)} (disregarding order). Let X be the sum of the two balls selected. What is the mean of X? Select one: a. 2.0 b. 2.33 c. 4.0 d. 4.33

You are a customer support manager at Apple. Your staff are rated by the customer after each support call they close. Each month you randomally sample the cases of each employee and if you find sufficient "Perfect" cases then you give the employee a $250 award. This month you give the award if you find (at least) 4 Perfect cases. Suppose an employee handled 42 cases of which 7 are Perfect cases and 35 are not. Assume you sample 10 of the cases of that employee. Answer the following: a. What is the probability that you will find no Perfect cases? nothing. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. What is the probability that there will be at least 1 Perfcet case? (Round to four decimal places as needed.) c. What is the probability that there will be 4 Perfect cases? (Round to four decimal places as needed.) d. What is the probability that the award will not be given? (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
On shows like American Idol, contestants often wonder if there is an advantage to performing last. To investigate this, a random sample of 600 American Idol fans is selected to view the audition tapes of 12 never-before-seen contestants. For each fan, the order of the 12 videos is randomly determined. Thus, if the order of performance doesn’t matter, we would expect approximately 1/12 of the fans to prefer the last contestant they view. In this study, 59 of the 600 fans preferred the last contestant they viewed. Do these data provide convincing evidence that there is an advantage to going last? True or False: The correct conclusion is Since our P-value, is greater than the chosen significance level of α = 0.05, we fail to reject H0. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that there is an advantage to performing last in American Idol.

Forty-nine percent of all New York residents prefer life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. Among New York residents who are Latino, 57% prefer life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. Twenty-five percent of all New York residents are Latino. One New York resident is selected at random. For this problem, let: L = the selected New York resident is Latino. N = the selected New York resident prefers life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. P(N) = %3D P(L) = P(N | L) = P(L AND N) = Are L and N mutually exclusive events? O There is not enough information to determine whether or not events N and L are mutually exclusive. O Events N and L are mutually exclusive. O Events N and L are not mutually exclusive. P(L OR N) =
A fair dice is rolled. If the outcomes are 1,2,3 or 4, a fair coin is flipped once. If the outcomes are 5 or 6, the coin is flipped twice. Assume the outcomes of dice and the number of tails are represented with random variables X and Y , respectively. Calculate the amount of information for X given Y .

Suppose there are three balls in a box. On one of the balls is the number 1, on another is the number 2, and on the third is the number 3. You select two balls at random and without replacement from the box and note the two numbers observed. The sample space S consists of the three equally likely outcomes {(1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 3)} (disregarding order). Let X be the sum of the two balls selected. Which of the following is the correct distribution for X?
A teacher believes that students who study more than four hours for her tests will do better than students who do not study for her tests. To test this belief, the teacher recruited 16 students and randomly assigned them to two groups: G1: a group of n1=8 students that studied more than four hours for her test, and G2: a group of n2=8 students that did not study for her test. The following are the data from G1, who studied more than four hours for the test: n1=8 M1=85 s1=5 (this is the standard deviation of the sample, dividing the sum of squares by n1) The following are the data from G2, who did not study for the test: n2=8 M2=75 s2=4 (this is the standard deviation of the sample, dividing the sum of squares by n2) Perform a t-test by answering the questions below. Use an alpha-level of α=.05. 0. Using formulas from Section 4, compute the estimates of the population variances, est. σ12 and est. σ22 (from s1 and s2 above). 1. What is the research…
A company that manufactures a low-calorie dairy drink wants to determine whether there is preference for the new formula (Formula B) over the standard formula (Formula A). Four judges are asked to drink two glasses in random order, one glass containing Formula A and the other containing Formula B. Each judge is asked which glass they prefer. Based on earlier tests, both formulas are equally preferred. Let Y be the number of judges in the current test that prefer the new formula. 1. Which of the following statements is(are) true? (Then, explain why)A. The success in this experiment is observing four judges who prefer the new formula.B. A single trial of the experiment corresponds to four judges.C. Y~Bin(4,0.5)D. All of the above 2. What is the probability that at least three judges prefer the new formula? (Show solution)A. 0.0625B. 0.2500C. 0.3125D. 0.5000
