Suppose you conduct a series of experiments, each of which consists of tossing a fair coin 6 times. Let X be the number of heads. In each of the following questions, give your reasoning. - What are the probabilities of each value of X? - What is P(the first toss is tails | X=3)? - What is P(X = 3 | given the first toss is tails)? - What is P(the first experiment where X=5 is the eighth)? What is P( X < 5)? - What are the mean and variance of X?

Use the following results from a test for marijuana use, which is provided by a certain drug testing company. Among 142 subjects with positive test results, there are 23 false positive results; among 150 negative results, there are 3 false negative results. i one of the test subjects is randomly selected, find the probability that the subject tested negative or did not use marijuana. (Hint: Construct a table.) The probability that a randomly selected subject tested negative or did not use marijuana is (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to three decimal places as needed.)

without any 3. During winter, red foxes hunt small rodents by jumping into thick snow cover, visual clue. Researchers examined the compass direction of hundreds of such jumps. They found that the 73% of jumps in the northeast direction were successful, compared with 60% of jumps in the southwest direction and only 18% of jumps in all other directions. The value 73%, or 0.73, corresponds to which of the following probabilities? (a) P(successful jump | northeast direction). (b) P(northeast direction | successful jump) (c) P(successful jump and northeast direction) (d) P(successful jump or northeast direction)
29% of college students say they use credit cards because of the rewards program. You randomly select 10 college students and ask each to name the reason he or she uses credit cards. Find the probability that the number of college students who say they use credit cards because of the rewards program is (a) exactly two, (b) more than two, and (c) between two and five inclusive. If convenient, use technology to find the probabilities. (a) P(2)=(Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.) (b) P(x> 2)= (Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.) %3D (c) P(2sxs5)= (Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)

Let X be the number of heads. (i) What are the probabilities for each value of X? What is the P(the first toss is heads | X=0)? (ii) What is the P(X < 3)? (ii) (iv) What is the P(X=3| given the first toss is tails?)
