It is claimed that a vitamin supplement helps mice learn to run a maze more quickly and, in fact, to beat a non-treated mouse 70% of the time (whereas without the supplement, it would only win half of the time). To test this claim, you divide a group of 20 mice randomly into ten pairs, giving one of each pair the vitamin supplement. You run each pair through the maze and find that seven out of ten of the mice treated with the vitamin supplement beat the untreated mice.
a) What is the probability of obtaining this result if the claim is true?
b) What is the probability of obtaining this result if the claim is false (i.e., the supplement has no effect)?
c) Suppose before you ran this experiment, you thought it was equally likely that the claim was true or false. After running the experiment, what is your belief? What is the updated probability?
Each day, mice are put into a T maze. In this maze they have a choice of turning left (are rewarded with cheese) or to the right (receive cheese along with mild shock). After the first day, their decision whether to turn right or left is influenced by what happened on the previous day. Of those that go to the left on a certain day, 90% go to the left and the next day 10% go to the right. Of those that go to the right on a certain day, 60% go to the left on the next day and 30% go to the right.
a. Set up a stochastic matrix with columns and rows labeled L and R that describes this situation
b. Compute the second power of martrix in part a
c. Suppose that the first day (day 0), 50% go to the left and 50% go to the right. So the initial distribution is given by the column matrix .5 and .5 using the matrixes in part a and part b find the distribution matrixes for the next two days , day 1 and day 2
d. Make a guess as to the percentage of mice that will go to th left after 50 days.
Two different labs, Rodent Racers and Squeeky Labs, measured the time for mice to complete a maze. The

- please do the last question(Q3) as well Define a game as follow: you begin with an urn that contains a mixture of black and white balls, and during the game you have access to as many extra black and white balls as you need. In each move of the game, you remove two balls from the urn without being able to see what colour they are. Then you look at their colour and do the following: If the balls are the same colour, you keep them out of the urn and put a black ball in the urn. if the balls are different colours, you keep the black one out of the urn and put the white one back into the urn. Each move reduces the number of balls by one, and the game will end when only one ball is left in the urn. In this you will figure out how to predict the colour of the last ball in the urn and prove your answer using mathematical induction. Q1) Draw diagrams to map out all the possibilities for playing the game starting with two balls in the urn, then three balls, then four balls.

A sign claims that 20% of the ducks have a blue dot on thebottom of them, 20% have a red dot, 20% have a green dot, 20% have a yellow dot, and 20% have anorange dot. Players pay to select one duck, show the color to the game attendant, replace the duck, spinaround once, and then select a second duck. If the dot on the bottom of the second duck matches the dotthat was on the bottom of the first duck, the player wins. Otherwise, the player loses. a) Are the events “color of the first duck” and “color of the second duck” independent?

Step 1 of 2 : Given that the caller reports a lock up, what is the probability that the cause is problem A? Round your answer to four decimal places, if necessary.

Group B is not given this assignment. Each group is tasked with keeping a reading log during their second semester. At the end of 1st grade, Dr. Barton counts how many books each group has read. Group A read 68 books, and Group B read 92 books.
