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?

Question 6. 1, 2. Please solve it step by step.
Suppose the Drug Company develops a new drug, designed to prevent colds. The company states that the drug is equally effective for men and women. To test this claim, they choose a simple random sample of 100 women and 200 men from a population of 5,000 volunteers. At the end of the study, 38% of the women caught a cold; and 51% of the men caught a cold. Based on these findings, can we reject the company's claim that the drug is equally effective for men and women? Use a 0.05 level of significance.
Shannon conducts a study and tells you that when she calculated Cohen's d, it was 0.00. What conclusion would you reach about the effects of her independent variable? Question 38 options: The effect of the independent variable was statistically significant because d was less than .05. The independent variable had no effect in her study, and the null hypothesis should not be rejected. The independent variable and the dependent variable are perfectly correlated with one another. No conclusion can be reached because Shannon did not tell you about t.
What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference p₁ - P2. Do not use rounded values. Round your final answer to two decimal places.) (c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Question 1 A store-bought pregnancy test produces a correct result 99% of the time when a woman is actually pregnant but is only 97% accurate when a woman is not pregnant. What are the chances of a false positive and a false negative respectively? Question 2 Assuming a woman has a 90% chance of actually being pregnant when she takes the test, and that she takes TWO tests (requiring the same signal from both tests to either confirm OR reject) what is the probability of she will get a "double positive" result? Also, what is the probability of an "uncertain" result (one of each)?
Suppose that on any given day, there is a 20% chance that Lebron has a bad day, a 50% day that Lebron has a so-so day, and a 30% chance that Lebron has a good day. On a bad day, the probability that Lebron makes any given 3-point shot is 0.5. On a so-so day, the probability that Lebron makes any given 3-point shot is 0.7. On a good day, the probability that Lebron makes any given 3-point shot is 0.9. Suppose that tomorrow, Lebron takes a 3-point shot, and we record whether he hits or misses and what kind of day he was having. What is the probability that Lebron hits? What is the probability that if Lebron is having a bad day given that he misses a shot that day?

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=
