You have noticed that your colleague, with whom you share an office, regularly indulges in pick-me-up chocolate candies in the afternoon. You count the number of candies your colleague consumes after lunch every workday for a month, and organize the data as follows: Number of Candies Number of Days O or 1 14 2 or more Total 21 You fit a geometric distribution to the data using maximum likelihood. Using the fitted distribution, calculate the expected number of candies your colleague consumes in an afternoon.

Media experts claim that daily print newspapers are declining because of Internet access. Listed below, from left to right and then top to bottom, are the numbers of daily print newspapers in a large region for a recent sequence of years.

The table compares what Plainfield College students did after graduating with a bachelor's degree in 1992, 1998, and 2003. A graphical display of the conditional distributions of what students did after graduation by year is given. Does this study present any evidence that postgraduation plans have changed over this 11-year period? Explain. Choose the best answer below. A. Yes. There is evidence that the percentage of Plainfield College graduates continuing their education and entering the work force directly after receiving a bachelor's degree has increased from 1992 to 2003. B. No. The percentage of Plainfield College graduates continuing their education has increased from 1992 to 2003. Likewise, the percentage of graduates entering the work force directly after receiving a bachelor's degree appears to have decreased from 1992 to 2003. However, this is not sufficient evidence to show any change due to the fact that the number of students graduating has increased over this same…

You are playing a card came, and the probability that you will win a game is p = 0.73. If you play the game 1412 times, what is the most likely number of wins? (Round answer to one decimal place.) Let X represent the number of games (out of 1412) that you win. Find the standard deviation for the probability distribution of X. (Round answer to two decimal places.) O = The range rule of thumb specifies that the minimum usual value for a random variable is u-2o and the maximum usual value is p+2o. You already found u and o for the random variable X. Use the range rule of thumb to find the usual range of X values. Enter answer as an interval using square- brackets and only whole numbers. usual values =
Customers of a restaurant have been complaining about food poisoning over the past week. A health professional was called to investigate. She tested a representative sample of the eggs and reported that 24% of the sample eggs tested positive for the salmonella bacterium. If a second health professional tests 66 eggs at random, what is the probability that exactly 14 test positive for salmonella? Use a normal distribution to approximate the answer and write it as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Determine if the finite correction factor should be used. If so, use it in your calculations when you find the probability. In a sample of 700 gas stations, the mean price for regular gasoline at the pump was $2.898 per gallon and the standard deviation was $0.008 per gallon. A random sample of size 60 is drawn from this population. What is the probability that the mean price per gallon is less than $2.897? The probability that the mean price per gallon is less than $2.897 is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
