Concept explainers

Contingency Table

A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.

Binomial Distribution

Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.

Hello, can you please help me solve this problem? Write clearly and neatly on a paper. Upload it here. Thank you. We play a game: You roll a fair die. If it comes up a 4, 5, or 6 on the first roll, you win $80. If not, then you get to roll again. If you get a 4, 5, or 6 on the 2nd roll, you win $40. If not, you get $0. What is the expected amount you will win?

You need to borrow money for gas, so you ask your mother and your sister. You can only borrow money from one of them. Before giving you money, they each say they will make you play a game. Your sister says she wants you to spin a spinner with two outcomes, blue and red, on it. She will give you $⁢10 if the spinner lands on blue and $⁢20 if the spinner lands on red. Your mother wants you to spin a spinner with six outcomes, numbered 1 through 6, on it. She will give you $3 ⁢three times the number that the spinner lands on. Determine the expected value of each game and decide which offer you should take. The expected value for your sister's game: $$ Anticipated value for your mother's game: $$ Which offer should you take? Your sister's offer or your mother's offer?
You are using cash to pay a $20 parking ticket. In your wallet you have one $5-dollar bill, two $10-dollar bills, and three $20 dollar bills, and you draw out one bill at a time at random until you have at least $20. If you keep track of each bill as you draw it out of the wallet, how many different ways are there for you to get at least $20?
Player A and Player B play chess (either of them wins, a draw is not permitted). If player A plays White, the probability of him/her winning is 0.72. If player A plays Black, the probability of him/her winning is 0.63. Player A and Player B play 2 games and in the second game, they change sides. Find the probability that player B wins both games.

At a back-to-school party, one of your friends lets you play a two-stage game where you pay $3 to play. The game works as follows: fip a fair coin, noting the side showing, and roll a fair standard 4-sided die (numbered 1-4), noting the number showing. If the die shows a 3 and the coin shows tails, then you win $20. If the coin shows heads and the die shows an even number then you win $9. Otherwise, you do not win anything.

The board game Dominion is a card-drafting game where the player with the most victory points wins. You are playing Dominion with a group of friends, and are on the last turn. The only two remaining cards that you can purchase are Duchies and Dukes. Each Duchy is worth 3 victory points and costs 5 gold. Each Duke gives you 1 victory point per Duchy in your possession, and also costs 5 gold. Assuming you have N gold and can purchase as many cards as you like, how many Dukes and Duchies should you buy to maximize your victory points?
To raise money for the local Veterans Affairs hospital, your friend organizes a fundraiser, inviting you to play a two-stage game where you pay $8 to play. The game works as follows: a fair 8-sided die is rolled, noting the number shown, and a spinner divided into 4 equal regions of different colors (blue, red, green, orange) is spun, noting the color. If the die shows 3 or the spinner shows orange, then you win $21. If the die shows an even number and the spinner does not show orange, then you win $9. Otherwise, you do not win anything. Let X be your net winnings. (a) Create a probability distribution for X. Enter the possible values of X in ascending order from left to right. All probabilities should be exact.

Three players enter a room and are given a red or a blue hat to wear. The color of each hat is determined by a fair coin toss. Players cannot see the color of their own hats, but do see the color of the other two players' hats. The game is won when at least one of the players correctly guesses the color of his own hat and no player gives an incorrect answer. In addition to having the opportunity to guess a color, players may also pass. Communication of any kind between players is not permissible after they have been given hats; however, they may agree on a group strategy beforehand. The players decided upon the following strategy. A player who sees that the other two players wear a hat with the same color guesses the opposite color for his/her own hat; otherwise, the player says nothing. What is the probability of winning the game under this strategy?
Shawn is playing a game with a set of cards. Half of them are blue and the other half are yellow. In the game, the player guesses the color of the top card, looks at the card, and returns the card to the deck. The player continues to do this, shuffling the deck after each guess. Shawn has guessed the first three attempts as "blue” and has been correct on each guess. He says he will guess "yellow” for the next card since a yellow card is due to happen. Is Shawn’s reasoning correct? Yes, Shawn has guessed well so far, so it is clear that he cannot miss. No, all of the cards have been blue so far, so the next one must also be blue. Yes, half of the cards are yellow, so the fourth card should be yellow to compensate for the first three cards being blue. No, the law of large numbers says that the proportion of yellow cards should approach the true probability after many trials.
After giving the lotto a try you decide to go back to Clayton Campus for some more gambling action. Theyare playing a die tossing game where you win a brand new home if you roll all sides of the die within 7rolls. Your crystal ball can see into the future and tells you that when you roll the die 7 times you don't seethe same number appear twice in a row. You decide to bet your entire rent for the year and try to win thehouse. You toss a fair six-sided die 7 times. Consider the following events, A = “each value appears atleast once” and B = “the outcome is alternate in numbers (i.e., a specific face of the die cannot be observed to occur directly after it was observed on the previous roll but it may have occurred elsewhere inthe sequence of rolls)”. What is p(A|B)? Are you likely to win the house?
