Two marbles are drawn randomly from a bag having 5 red, 20 white, 10 blue, and 5 orange marbles. Solve each part, by first considering that the experiment is carried out with replacement and then without replacement. (a) the first is red and the second is white (b) neither is orange (c) they are either red or white or both (red and white)

Two different blood pressure medicines are being compared to determine if the average reduction in blood pressure is the same for each medication. The goal of the study is to determine if the medications differ. Twenty men age 50-60 years old are selected for the study. Ten men are chosen at random to receive the first medication and the other 10 men receive the second medication. Each of the 20 men is monitored for one month to determine the change in blood pressure over that time. Minitab provides the 95% confidence interval for (mu1 - mu2) (2.63, 14.18) a. Interpret this 95% CI. b. What assumptions (be specific) are necessary to construct this CI?
You are playing a single joint game with all your fellow students where you have to choose an integer from (0,1,2, .100}. A player's payoff depends on the distance of his answer to 2/3 of the average of all players' answers; the closer the better. Example: Your answer is 45. There are two other players whose answers are 25 and 56. Then, the average is (45+25+56)/3=42. 2/3 of the average is 28. Your distance to 2/3 of the average is 145-28|=17. All players will be ranked according to their answer's proximity to 2/3 of the average. The top 25% of the players get 2 points. The next 50% get 1 point. The bottom 25% get 0 points. (In case of ties, points will be distributed evenly in the enlarged classes.) Please give your answer as a single integer from (0,1,2,3,.100}. A valid submission would look like this: 45
Box I contains 4 red and 8 blue marbles while box II contains 5 red and 3 blue marbles. An unfair coin is tossed –whoseprobability of turning up heads is 40%. If the coin comes up heads, box I is chosen and a random marble is chosen, otherwise if it is tails the marble is chosen from box II. Suppose after the first marble is chosen –the experiment is repeated. Assume the first marble is NOT put back into its box. The coin is flipped again and another marble is chosen from either box I or box II. What is the probability that the second marble has the same color as the first marble?
Bonnie and her friends are dubious that a new abdominal exercise machine is as effective as its commercial claims. They decide to conduct an experiment to find out. For three months, Bonnie has 25 randomly chosen friends use the new machine, and 25 others do traditional abdominal exercises. At the end of the experiment, she counts the number of sit-ups each friend can do in one minute.

Suppose you are playing a game of Yahtzee. You know that you play with 5 dice, each with 6 sides. Since the dice are all rolled at the same time, let the roll (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) to be equal to (2, 4, 5, 1, 3). Assume for this question that we will only be rolling the dice once. (i) How many ways can you roll all the dice? (ii) To win 50 points you would need all the dice to roll the same number (ex. (1, 1, 1, 1, 1)). How many ways can you win the 50 points? (iii) Suppose you are trying to get your dice to roll only consecutive numbers (ex. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) or (2, 3, 4, 5, 6)) How many different ways are there to do this? (iv) Suppose instead you are trying to get your dice to roll 4 consecutive numbers (ex. (1, 2, 3, 4, 1) or (2, 3, 4, 5, 3)) How many different ways are there to do this? (make sure to not count any only consecutive numbers) This is a combinatorics math counting problem.
A researcher wants to determine whether adolescents spend more time in a day around friends than adults do. He gathers a sample of n =10 adolescents (aged 12-17) and a sample of n =6 adults (aged 25-32). The researcher finds that the average time spent around friends for adolescents is M1= 3 hours with a SS1 of 44. He also finds that the average time spent around friends for adults is M2= 2 hours with a SS2 of 40. a. Do you use a one- or two-tailed test? What is the critical/cut-off t value with an alpha level of α = .01? b. What is the variance? c. What is the estimated standard error? d. What is the value of the t statistic? e. Do we reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis (α = .01)? Why? f. Calculate and report the variance explained ( r2)
In a gambling game, I roll two dice and win $1 if the sum of my two rolls is largerthan 7. I lose $1 if the sum of my two rolls is smaller than 7. In any other cases, Idon’t lose or win anything. I am going to repeat this game 72 times. c) Now make a box model for the number of times I win, including the values onthe tickets, the number of repeats of each ticket, and how many draws we willmake with replacement from the box. The average of the tickets in the box from (c) is ___________ and the SD is___________.
You're a sociologist studying whether grocery prices are different in the inner cities than they are in the suburbs. To investigate this, you pick a random set of items (a basket of goods), and then send shoppers to buy these items at an inner city (IC) grocery, and also at a suburban (SU) grocery. You pick 30 different baskets of goods, so your secret shoppers buy 30 baskets, once at the inner city store, and once at a suburban store.The data is given in the dataset named "ICvSU_3095.xls", which you can find in data folder under Course Documents. Prices could be higher in the inner city because of discrimination, or they could be higher in the suburbs because of the greater disposable income. Use Excel to test the research hypothesis that inner city prices are different than the suburb's prices. The null hypothesis is that inner city prices are equal to suburban prices. You test at the alpha = 0.05 significance level. What do you conclude? Are prices the same? Who has higher prices?…
7. A new drug study was conducted by a drug company. In the study, 10 people were chosen at random to take Vitamin X for 3 months and then have their cholesterol levels checked. In addition, 10 different people were randomly chosen to take Vitamin Y for 3 months and then have their cholesterol levels checked. All 20 people had cholesterol levels between 8 and 10 before taking one of the vitamins. The drug company wanted to see which of the 2 vitamins had the greatest impact on lowering people's cholesterol. The following data was collected: Vitamin X 7.27.5 5.2 6.5 7.7 10 6.47.6 7.77.8 Vitamin Y 4.8 4.44.5 5.1 6.5 8.03.1 4.6 5.2 6.1 (a) Draw a box-and-whisker plot for both sets of data on the same number line. (b) Use the double box-and-whisker plots to compare the 2 vitamins and provide a conclusion for the drug company. (e) State the skewness of both distributions and justify your answer.
Suppose that we roll three (six-sided) dice 600 times. Find an approximation for theprobability that we obtain the “triple-one” combination (each dice showing the value 1)at most 3 times.
You are trying frantically to get dressed, and you need to reach into your sock drawer to get two matching socks in the dark. Your sock drawer contains 20 socks, consisting of 10 matched pairs. All of them are only black or white, and they are loose, disorganized randomly, and not bound together. This means you have 10 black and 10 white socks in your disorganized drawer. This makes 10 total matching pairs of 5 pairs of white and 5 pairs of black. 1. How can you guarantee success of picking a matching pair? In other words, what is the minimum number of socks needing to be picked to guarantee a matching pair? (Hint: There is a right answer to this question!) 2. Explain dependent and independent trials
