Two groups of twelve children are taught two different methods of arithmetic. (Assume that a child in group one is matched in terms of their arithmetic ability with a child in group 2 before the start of the study). What is the probability that at least 9 children from one of the groups will obtain higher scores than the other group? What other assumptions have you made?

Based on the following table someone tells you “If you don’t use drugs, then the probability of you getting a negative test result is 0.993” Is that correct? Please explain why or why not.Drug Tests: Positive Test Negative TestSubject Uses Drugs: 44 6Subject Doesn’t Use Drugs: 90 860
B. What is the probability a sample of 90 test takers will provide a sample mean test score within 10 points of the population mean of 515 on the mathematics part of the test. c. What is the probiotic a sample of 100 test takers will provide a sample mean test score within 10 points of the population mean of 494 on the writing part of the test.
This problem involves empirical probability. The table shows the breakdown of 86 thousand single parents on active duty in the U.S. military in a certain year. All numbers are in thousands and rounded to the nearest thousand. Use the data in the table to find the probability that a randomly selected single parent in the U.S. military is in the Army. Male Female Total Army 25 10 35 Navy 23 7 30 Marine Corps 6 1 7 Air Force 10 4 14 Total 64 22 86 The probability that a randomly selected single parent in the U.S. military is in the Army is (Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth as needed.)
The below was the answer I received when I asked the following question. Dr. Deming’s Red Bead Experiment is an exercise in the laws of probability. The workers were frustrated because no matter what they did, the outcome was not predictable. If the paddle holds 50 beads and there are 500 white beads and 50 red beads in the box, what is the probability, using one sample, of filling a paddle with 47 white beads and only three red beads? What I need to understand is how did you get the highlighed answers below because these require a factorial of 500 and I have not found anything that will calculate that. Thank you Step 1 Given Information: Number of white beads = 500 Number of red beads = 50 Total number of beads = 550 Step 2 The probability, using one sample, of filling a paddle with 47 white beads and only three red beads can be determined as follows: Probability = C47500*C350C50550=(2.94*10^66) (19600)(3.44*10^71)=0.1675

Indicate whether 25 is sufficient or whether a sample of 50 would be necessary. You will want to calculate the probability of the sample mean being between $11,000 and $13,000 for both a sample size of 25 and 50. (Thank You!)

You are analysing a factory. Stage 3 of the manufacturing process has a 70% chance of finishing on time. If it does finish on time, the chance of Stage 4 finishing late is 25%. The overall chance of Stage 4 finishing on time is 64.875%. What is the chance that Stage 4 finishes late if Stage 3 finished late?
