Landslide Lyndon. The two candidates in the 1948 U.S. Senate race in Texas were then-Congressman Lyndon Johnson and then-Governor Coke Stevenson. After the statewide election, early indications were that Johnson lost. Nearly a week after the election, it was discovered that at the very last minute, 203 people in Alice, Texas, Precinct 13, voted in the exact order their names appeared on the tax rolls. Incredibly, 202 of those newly found votes were for Johnson. Search the Internet and find out who won that statewide election and by how many votes. Explain why the later-President Johnson earned the nickname “Landslide Lyndon.”

- a local hardware store has a "savings wheel" at the checkout. Customers get to spin the wheel and, when the wheel stops, a pointer indicates how much they will save. the wheel can stop in any one of 50 sections. of the sections, 10 produce 0% off, 20 sections are for 10% off, 10 sections for 20%, 5 for 30%, 3 for 40% and 1 for 50% and 1 for 100%. Assuming that all 50 sections are equally likely. A. what is the probability that a customer's purchase will be free (100% off)? B. What is the probability that a customer will get no savings from the wheel (0% off)? C. what is the probability that a customer will get at least 20% off?

- Imagine a game show on television where one lucky contestant is presented with three upside-down buckets that are numbered 1, 2, and 3. Under one of the buckets is a five-ounce gold bar. Under each of the other two buckets is a lump of coal. After the game ends, the contestant receives what is under his or her bucket. The host of the game show asks the contestant to choose one of the three buckets. After the contestant makes a choice, the host lifts up one of the remaining two buckets to reveal a lump of coal under it. At this point, only two buckets remain uncovered: the bucket that the contestant originally chose and the bucket that was not uncovered by the host. The host subsequently asks the contestant if he or she would like to keep the original bucket or change buckets to the only other bucket remaining. 1. If the contestant does not change buckets and stays with the original bucket chosen, what is the probability that the contestant will win the five-ounce gold bar?

When he went to take the files, he saw that there is no department name on the files. Instead, the files were labelled as Government, International and Private Client. However, there are three departments (accounting, marketing and management) in that room. From the files, 30% from the accounting department and 50% from management. Now, he also knows that 34% accounting files, 16% marketing files and 25% management files are governmental. a. Therefore, he picks a governmental file, what is the probability that it belongs to the accounting department? b. Therefore, he picks a governmental file, what is the probability that it belongs to marketing department.arrow_forwardA movie production company is releasing a movie with the hopes of many viewers returning to see the movie in the theater for a second time. Their target is to have 30 million viewers, and they want more than 30% of the viewers to return to see the movie again.
