Approval drinking (H). Returning to the voting scenario from Mindscape 7, it turns out that the voters in the first column find both A and B acceptable; the voters in the second column find only C acceptable; and the voters in the third column cannot drink anything but B. Given this additional inform ation, if approval voting is employed in this situation, which soda bubbles to a victory?

- Customer Preference Two movie theatres that show several different movies each night compete for the same audience. Of the people who attend theatre A one night, 10 will attend again the next night and 5 will attend Theatre B the next night. Of the people who attend Theatre B one night, 8 will attend again the next night and 6 will attend Theatre A the next night. Of the people who attend neither theatre one night, 3 will attend Theatre A the next night and 4 will attend Theatre B the next night. Find and interpret the steady state matrix for this situation.arrow_forwardA florist offers three sizes of flower arrangements containing roses, daisies, and chrysanthemums. Each small arrangement contains one rose, three daisies, and three chrysanthemums. Each medium arrangement contains two roses, four daisies, and six chrysanthemums. Each large arrangement contains four roses, eight daisies, and six chrysanthemums. One day, the florist noted that she used a total of 24 roses, 50 daisies, and 48 chrysanthemums in filling orders for these three types of arrangements. How many arrangements of each type did she make?arrow_forwardA large industrial firm uses three local motels to provide overnight accommodations for its clients. From past experience it is known that 20% of the clients are assigned rooms at the Ramada Inn, 50% at the Sheraton, and 30% at the Lakeview Motor Lodge. If the plumbing is faulty in 5% of the rooms at the Ramada Inn, in 4% of the rooms at the Sheraton, and in 8% of the rooms at the Lakeview Motor Lodge, what is the probability that a person with a room having faulty plumbing was assigned accommodations at the Lakeview Motor Lodge?

At both locations are performed routine tire repairs and rotations, as well as expensive brake repairs. This past week, 40% of the cars serviced at Ed's were serviced at the northwest location, while 60% of the cars were serviced at the southeast location. (No car was serviced at both locations.) Brake repairs were more typical at the northwest location than at the southeast location: 50% of the cars at the northwest location required brake repairs, while 25% of the cars at the southeast location required brake repairs.

- The Reviews editor for a certain scientific journal decides whether the review for any particular book should be short (1-2 pages), medium (3-4 pages), or long (5-6 pages). Data on recent reviews indicates that 50% of them are short, 30% are medium, and the other 20% are long. Reviews are submitted in either Word or LaTex. For short reviews, 70% are in Word, whereas 40% of medium reviews are in Word and 30% of long reviews are in Word. Suppose a recent review is randomly selected. (a) What is the probability that the selected review was submitted in Word format? (b) If the selected review was submitted in Word format, what are the posterior probabilities of it being short, medium, or long?

Dr. Mindfog, is a drug researcher interested in investigating the mind-altering effects of two very potent drugs, scotch and tequila. Specifically, Dr. Mindfog wonders, "Is there a difference between the two drugs in their mind-altering effects?" Wishing to minimize and effects due to physical differences in groups of subjects, he selects ten adult twin pairs to participate in his study (five mail twin pairs and five female twin pairs, obviously matched). One member of each twin pair is randomly assigned to one of two groups, such that one member of a twin pair is in the "scotch" group and the other member of the twin pair is in the "tequila" group. Then, using the famous Olson Mind Dazedness Test (OMDT) he measures each participant's dazedness after self- administering three ounces of the drug within an hour's time. Below are the dazedness scores of Dr. Mindfog's experiment -- the higher the score, the more dazed the…arrow_forwardDemocratic and Republican presidential state primary elections differ in the way winning candidates are awarded delegates. In Republican states, the winner is awarded all the state's delegates; conversely, the Democratic state winner is awarded delegates in proportion to the percentage of votes. This difference led to an article on making your vote count. Consider scenario where you are one of five county commissioners voting on an issue, where each commissioner is equally likely to vote for or against. Complete parts and b below. a. Your vote (the decisive vote) counts only if the other four voters split, 2 in favor and 2 against. Use the binomial distribution to find the probability that your vote counts. The probability that your vote counts is 0.375. (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) b. If you convince two other commissioners to "vote in bloc" (all agree to vote among yourselves first, and whatever the majority decides is the way all three will vote, guaranteeing that…arrow_forward
- College admissions For high school students graduatingin 2007, college admissions to the nation’s most selectiveschools were the most competitive in memory. (The NewYork Times, “A Great Year for Ivy League Schools, butNot So Good for Applicants to Them,” April 4, 2007).Harvard accepted about 9% of its applicants, Stanford10%, and Penn 16%. Jorge has applied to all three.Assuming that he’s a typical applicant, he figures that hischances of getting into both Harvard and Stanford mustbe about 0.9%.a) How has he arrived at this conclusion?b) What additional assumption is he making?c) Do you agree with his conclusion?arrow_forwardvideo gamer believes that team composition greatly affects win rate. To test this idea, the player decides to play 100 matches with teams of 3 colors: Red, Green, and Blue. The player records the number of matches he wins with each team color. Given anecdotal evidence, the gamer believes his red team is the best and therefore will win the most games. He has less experience with his blue and green team and is interested to see if there is a difference between the two. Because the gamer is more experienced with his red team, he plays more matches with that team. The total number of matches played per team color is: Red-50, Blue-23, and Green 27. a) What is the IV of this experiment? What are the levels of the IV? What is the scale of measurement of the IV? b) What is the DV of this experiment? What is the scale of measurement of the DV? c) Is this a True experiment or not?
