The game of Chuck-a-Luck is played as follows: You pick a number between 1 and 6 and toss three dice. If your number does not appear, you lose 1. If your number appears x times, you win x. On the average, use simulation to find the average amount of money you will win or lose on each play of the game.
Use @RISK to draw a binomial distribution that results from 50 trials with probability of success 0.3 on each trial, and use it to answer the following questions. a. What are the mean and standard deviation of this distribution? b. You have to be more careful in interpreting @RISK probabilities with a discrete distribution such as this binomial. For example, if you move the left slider to 11, you find a probability of 0.139 to the left of it. But is this the probability of less than 11 or less than or equal to 11? One way to check is to use Excels BINOM.DIST function. Use this function to interpret the 0.139 value from @RISK. c. Using part b to guide you, use @RISK to find the probability that a random number from this distribution will be greater than 17. Check your answer by using the BINOM.DIST function appropriately in Excel.

A researcher is studying whether being a smoker causes people to get colds more often. Classify each method as a survey, an experiment, or an observational study. Then explain which method would be the most reliable. Method A: Choose people who already smoke and who do not and monitor how many colds they get in a period of years. Method B: Choose 100 people at random. Have 50 people smoke regularly for six months and 50 people not smoke for six months. Then monitor how many of the 100 people get colds within the next six months. Method C: Ask people who currently have a cold whether or not they smoke. Tell whether each method of gathering data is a survey, an observational study, or an experiment. Which option would give the most reliable results?
4. ABC Dog Food Company located in Ottawa sells large bags of dog food to warehouse clubs. ABC uses an automatic filling process to fill the bags. Weights of the filled bags are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 50 kilograms and a standard deviation of 1.25 kilograms. (a) What is the probability that a filled bag will weigh less than 49.5 kilograms? (b) What is the probability that a randomly sampled filled bag will weigh between 48.5 and 51 kilograms? (c) What is the minimum weight a bag of dog food could be and remain in the top 15% of all bags filled? (d) ABC is unable to adjust the mean of the filling process. However, it is able to adjust the standard deviation of the filling process. What would the standard deviation need to be so that 2% of all filled bags weigh more than 52 kilograms?
