WHAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER AND WHY?
A common way for two people to settle a frivolous dispute is to play a game of rock-paper-scissors. In this game, each person simultaneously displays a hand signal to indicate a rock, a piece of paper, or a pair of scissors. Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock. If both players select the same hand signal, the game results in a tie.
Two roommates, roommate A and roommate B, are expecting company and are arguing over who should have to wash the dishes before the company arrives. Roommate A suggests a game of rock-paper-scissors to settle the dispute.
Consider the game of rock-paper-scissors to be an experiment. In the long run, roommate A chooses rock 21% of the time, and roommate B chooses rock 61% of the time; roommate A selects paper 39% of the time, and roommate B selects paper 21% of the time; roommate A chooses scissors 40% of the time, and roommate B chooses scissors 18% of the time. (These choices are made randomly and independently of each…

If the university registrar were to compile the grade point averages (GPAs) of all 70 students in the course and compute their average, the result would be a mean GPA of 2.98. Note that this average is unknown to anyone; to collect the GPA information would violate the confidentiality of the students’ academic records. Suppose that the professor who teaches the course wants to know the mean GPA of the students enrolled in her course. She selects a sample of students who are in attendance on the third day of class. The GPAs of the students in the sample are: 3.71 3.92 3.68 3.60 3.64 3.27 3.93 3.12 3.40 3.74 The instructor uses the sample average as an estimate of the mean GPA of her students. The absolute value of the error in the instructor’s estimate is: 0.62 0.52 0.86 0.80 The portion of this error that is due to errors in data…arrow_forward
