Van Helsing is set to appear in the final exam of a Field Theory course, in which she is a student. If she has breakfast before the exam she is three times as likely to write all the answers on her own than copy from anyone else. If she does not eat breakfast, she is three times as likely to copy than to work independently. If she works independently her score is (approximately) a Gaussian (70, 10) random variable. If she decides to copy, then she tosses a fair coin and copies all her answers from her friend Igor if heads appear, and from her classmate Drac, if tails appear. If she copies her answers from Igor then her score is (approximately) a Gaussian (73, 10) random variable. However if she chooses Drac, then he tells her all the wrong answers on purpose, in which case her score is zero. A student fails if s/he scores 39.49 marks or below, although all the remaining grades are awared relative to the class average. The chances of Van Helsing having breakfast on the day of the exam are two out of five. If she fails the exam then what is the probability that she did not have breakfast?

An anger-management course claims that, after completing its seminar, participants will lose their tempers less often. Always a skeptic, you decide to test this claim. A random sample of 12 seminar participants is chosen, and these participants are asked to record the number of times that they lost their tempers in the two weeks prior to the course. After the course is over, the same participants are asked to record the number of times that they lost their tempers in the next two weeks. The following table lists the results of the survey. Using these data, test the claim at the 0.01 level of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal. Let participants before completing the anger-management course be Population 1 and let participants after completing the anger-management course be Population 2.

Given that μ is $350 and σ is $150 calculate the z-score of 343.31 and then find the likelihood that a random sample of 2597 adult American shoppers would spend $343.31 or less on Christmas. Now assume that μ is $340 and that σ remains $150. Find the likelihood that in this case, a random sample of 2597 adult American shoppers would spend $342.31 or more on Christmas.
A decade-old study found that the proportion of high school seniors who felt that "getting rich" was an important personal goal was 69%. Suppose that we have reason to believe that this proportion has changed, and we wish to carry out a hypothesis test to see if our belief can be supported. State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that we would use for this test. Ho: 0 H1: 0 O=0
A consumer magazine wants to figure out which of two major airlines lost a higher proportion of luggage on international flights. The magazine surveyed Standard Air (population 1) and Down Under airlines (population 2). Standard Air lost 45 out of 600 bags. Down Under airlines lost 30 of 500 bags. Does Standard Air have a higher population proportion of lost bags on international flights? Which of the following is the correct competing hypotheses?

Suppose a group of 800800 smokers (who all wanted to give up smoking) were randomly assigned to receive an antidepressant drug or a placebo for six weeks. Of the 500500 patients who received the antidepressant drug, 134134 were not smoking one year later. Of the 300300 patients who received the placebo, 5151 were not smoking one year later. Given the null hypothesis ?0:(?1−?2)=0H0:(p1−p2)=0 and the alternative hypothesis ??:(?1−?2)≠0Ha:(p1−p2)≠0, conduct a test to see if taking an antidepressant drug can help smokers stop smoking. Use ?=0.03α=0.03 (a) The rejection region is |?|>|z|> (b) The test statistic is ?=z=
