Internet Doctors:
a. Find the probability that three randomly selected adults all learn about medical symptoms more often from the Internet than from their doctor.
b. Find the probability that when three adults are randomly selected, at least one of them learns about medical symptoms more often from the Internet than from their doctor.
1. Internet Doctors: Confidence Interval In a survey of n = 2015 adults. 1108 of them said that they learn about medical symptoms more often from the Internet than from their doctor (based on a MerckManuals.com survey). Use the data to construct a 95% confidence

In regards to conducting a linear contrast after a one-way ANOVA, can you explain how seemingly arbitrary weights that "emphasize or de-emphasize" certain variables in a linear combination and sum to zero are able to provide information about how certain groups differ from each other? For example, if we havethree groups A, B, and C, and we want tocompare the mean of group A with theaverage of groups B and C, the weights inthis case are 1 for group A, and -0.5 for groupsB and C, which sum to zero. But how do these numbers model the relationship of comparing one group to the average of the other two? Does it have to do with how the math is carried out, such as how the test statistic is created?
Can you simply and intuitively explain the purpose of a contrast to the treatment sum of squares? For example, do orthogonal contrasts partition the treatment sum of squares into additive components that represent the variation due to each contrast? If so, what would be the purpose of this?
The height of the graph of the probability density function f(x) varies with X as follows (round to four decimal places):

- WHAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER AND WHY?arrow_forwardA 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.
