students were assigned a quiz that contains 7 independent multiple-choice problems. Each problem was worth 1 point and has 4 choices, where only one of them is correct. A pirate, who does not understand probability and statistics, disguises himself as a clever student and tried to pass one of the quizzes. Unlike our students, he is not able to solve the problems and, thus, decides to randomly choose an answer for each problem. Let X be a random variable representing the score of the pirate on the FIRST problem of the quiz. What distribution does X follow?
A multiple-choice test consists of 6 questions. Each question has answer choices of a, b, c, d, and e, and only one of the choices is correct. If a student randomly guesses on each question, what is the probability that he gets fewer than 2 of them correct? Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places, and round your answer to at least two decimal places.
In a survey, it was found that 80% of adults operate the flusher of toilets in public restrooms with their foot. (a) If 300 adults are randomly selected, how many would we expect to flush toilets in public restrooms with their foot? (b) Would it be unusual to observe 255 adults who flush toilets in public restrooms with their foot? (a) We would expect (Type a whole number.) adults to flush toilets in public restrooms with their foot. (b) Would it be unusual to observe 255 adults who flush toilets in public restrooms with their foot? Choose the correct answer below. O A. Yes, because 255 is greater than u + 2o. O B. No, because 255 is greater than u + 20. O C. Yes, because 255 is between u - 20 and u+ 20. O D. No, because 255 is less than u- 20. O E. No, because 255 is between u -20 and u+ 20.

A person, Joe, claims to be able to "smell" an illness based on the odor of a person's clothing. Joe is given 12 shirts, each worn by a different person, some of whom had the illness and some of whom did not. The shirts were given to Joe in random order and he had to decide whether each shirt had been worn by an ill patient or by a healthy patient. joe identified 11 of the 12 shirts correctly. If we assume that Joe was just guessing, he would have probability 1/2 of correctly identifying each shirt. Find the probability that Joe would identify AT LEAST 11 shirts correctly by random guessing

In a series of studies, Sebastian Deri and his colleagues (2017) asked multiple groups about the number of friend groups they had and how often they attended different social events. They then asked participants how they thought their own numbers compared to other people's: Did participants see themselves as less social, the same as, or more social than others? In the first study, the researchers reported that: "Three hundred four participants from Amazon's Mechanical Turk (150 women; Mage = 37.1; 78% White, 10% Black, and 6% Asian) completed a survey in exchange for modest payment" (p. 860). What do the researchers mean by "Amazon's Mechanical Turk" with respect to their sample of participants? O A. An archival data set that already exists and from which researchers can use data O B. An online tool that researchers can use to recruit people to participate in research in exchange for a small payment O C. An e-book sold by Amazon that includes contact information for possible…
