The gremlins are mischievous creatures that cause computer problems. After careful research you observe that the number of gremlins active each day is a random variable with Bin(3,0.5) distribution. If no gremlins are active, the probability of failure is 0.15; if one gremlin is active the probability of failure is 0.3; if two or more gremlins are active the probability of failure is 0.5. You conclude that the total probability of failure on a given day is ....... Answer (to two decimal places). Assuming there is a failure, the probability no gremlins are active is .......... Answer.

Anyone who has been outdoors on a summer evening has probably heard crickets. Did you know that it is possible to use the cricket as a thermometer? Crickets tend to chirp more frequently as temperatures increase. This phenomenon was studied in detail by George W. Pierce, a physics professor at Harvard. In the following data, x is a random variable representing chirps per second and y is a random variable representing temperature (°F). 21.0 15.1 19.0 17.6 17.5 15.5 14.7 17.1 y 87.8 71.4 94.1 84.7 81.4 75.2 69.7 82.0 15.4 16.2 15.0 17.2 16.0 17.0 14.4 69.4 83.3 79.6 82.6 80.6 83.5 76.3 Find x, and y.

Stress at work: In a poll conducted by the General Social Survey, 80% of respondents said that thelr tobs were sometimes or always stressful. Two hundred workers are chosen at random. Use the TI-84 Plus calculator as needed. Round your answer to at least four decimal places. (a) Approximate the probability that 165 or fewer workers find their jobs stressful. (b) Approximate the probability that more than 150 workers find their jobs stressful. (c) Approximate the probability that the number of workers who find their jobs stressful is between 153 and 160 Inclusive. Part 1 of 3 The probability that 165 or fewer workers find their jobs stressful is Part 2 of 3 The probability that more than 150 workers find their jobs stressful is
You have decided that you should become more familiar with random variables and probability. You first roll a 20-sided die. What is the probability of observing a 10 on any given roll of the die? Respond with an answer to the second decimal point, that is, 0.09 instead of 0.10.
We believe that 95% of the population of all Elementary Statistics students consider Statistics an exciting subject. Suppose we randomly and independently selected 20 students from the population. If the true percentage is really 95% find the probability of observing 19 or more of the students who consider statistics to be an exciting subject in our sample of 20.
refer to the above question 1. if a student is selected at random then the probability that he/she has passed only one test (either math or state, bot not both) is
Nationally, about 11% of the total U.S. wheat crop is destroyed each year by hail.† An insurance company is studying wheat hail damage claims in a county in Colorado. A random sample of 16 claims in the county reported the percentage of their wheat lost to hail. 16 6 8 9 10 18 14 13 9 10 25 18 13 8 14 3 The sample mean is x = 12.1%. Let x be a random variable that represents the percentage of wheat crop in that county lost to hail. Assume that x has a normal distribution and σ = 5.0%. Do these data indicate that the percentage of wheat crop lost to hail in that county is different (either way) from the national mean of 11%? Use ? = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance? Compute the z value of the sample test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)(c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
