Textbook Question
Chapter 1.6, Problem 5G
What’s wrong with the logic displayed by Rachel in the following conversation? Explain in depth.
Rachel: I have a 50-50 chance of passing this exam.
Ross: Why do you say that? That doesn’t sound very optimistic.
Rachel: Well, it’s just like flipping a coin—there are two possibilities. I’ll either pass or I won’t. So I have a 50% chance of passing.

Suppose I flip a fair coin n =
20 times. A psychic tries to predict the outcome before each flip. Three
researchers have different ideas about the psychic's ability. There is Sydney, the Skeptic (S), who
thinks the psychic's success rate is between 49% and 51%. There is Morgan, the Mark, M, who
thinks that the psychic's success rate is 80%. And there is Carter, the Cynic (C), who thinks the
psychic's success rate is 10%.
Specifically:
S+ 0 ~ U(.49, .51)
M + 0 = .80
C0 = .10
%3D
In all cases, assume the number of successful predictions follows a binomial distribution with success
rate 0. Usek for the number of successes and n for the number of trials.
Given all that:
Determine the formula for the Bayes factor (a.k.a., likelihood ratio) supporting Carter over
Morgan. Call that Bayes factor Bc:M
Determine the formula for the Bayes factor (a.k.a., likelihood ratio) supporting Morgan over
Sydney. Call that Bayes factor BM:S

A political party received an average of 34% support in recent polls plus or minus 3.4%, 19 times out of 20. Two subsequent polls showed 38% support and 27% support. How would you report on the meaning of these polls to the party membership?
Joe likes to go to an old arcade and play 12 games of Skeeball every day. On average, he wins a prize on 55% of the games he plays. Today, however, he won only 4 of the 12 games he played.This made Joe think that there must be something wrong with how he is throwing the ball today. However, a friend tells him, "You might be throwing the same way you usually do. People will sometimes have a group of bad games just because of random variation, not because of psychology, or because they are doing anything differently, or any other reason. For someone with your statistics, such random bad days wouldn't even be very rare."Let's see what Joe's friend means. Suppose that Joe's skill level really hasn't changed, so he still has a 55% chance of winning each game he plays, like before. If he plays 12 games a day, on what percentage of days will he win 4 games or fewer? Assume that each game is independent of the others.

- I am only given one attempt at this. I need help. A newspaper report conducted a survey of 753 people in New York City and found that 27% of the population believe that the Yankees will miss the playoffs this year. In the accompanying dialogue, the report states, we are 99% confident that the true proportion of people in New York City who believe that the Yankees will miss the playoffs this year lies between 23% and 31% . What does 4% represent in the report? A. a parameterB. a statisticC. a confidence intervalD. a margin of errorE. a confidence levelarrow_forwardWould you want to be the president of the United States? Although manyteenagers think that they could grow up to be the president, most don’t want the job. In an opinion poll conducted by ABC News, nearly 80% of the teens were not interested in the job.2 When asked “What’s the mainreason you would not want to be president?” they gave these responses:Other career plans/no interest 40%Too much pressure 20%Too much work 15%Wouldn’t be good at it 14%Too much arguing 5%a. Are all of the reasons accounted for in this table? Add another category if necessary.b. Would you use a pie chart or a bar chart to graphically describe the data? Why?c. Draw the chart you chose in part b.d. If you were the person conducting the opinion poll, what other types of questions might you want to investigate?arrow_forwardJoe likes to go to an old arcade and play 10 games of Skeeball every day. On average, he wins a prize on 56% of the games he plays. Today, however, he won only 3 of the 10 games he played. This made Joe think that there must be something wrong with how he is throwing the ball today. However, a friend tells him, "You might be throwing the same way you usually do. People will sometimes have a group of bad games just because of random variation, not because of psychology, or because they are doing anything differently, or any other reason. For someone with your statistics, such random bad days wouldn't even be very rare." Let's see what Joe's friend means. Suppose that Joe's skill level really hasn't changed, so he still has a 56% chance of winning each game he plays, like before. If he plays 10 games a day, on what percentage of days will he win 3 games or fewer? Assume that each game is independent of the others. Fill in the blank: Joe would win 3 games or fewer on % of the days that he…arrow_forward
- You are going to play the 7-11 game, which has the following rules: You roll two dice. If the total value of the two dice is 7 or 11, you immediately win the game. If the total value is 2, 3, or 12, you immediately lose. If the total value is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, you keep this value as a referenced point. Then, you continue rolling the dice until you obtain the same value as the referenced point then you win the game. However, if you obtain the value of 7 before the referenced point, then you lose. For example, you obtain 4 in the first time of rolling, you keep rolling the dice until you get 4 (before 7) then you win. Similarly, you obtain 4 in the first time of rolling, you keep rolling the dice but you get 7 (before 4) then you lose. What is the probability to win this game? You can solve this question either by - a simulation - in this case you have to answer one more question, i.e., on average how many times do you roll the dice for each game?

- The principal of Paul Revere High School bragged that his 2016 graduating class of 1500 students achieved impressive scores on their ACT exams. He announced that an “astounding” 36% of the class got a score of 29 or higher, 54% got a score of 21 to 28, and only 10% less than 21. You want to test whether these ACT results are really that astounding. You visit the ACT website to see that the national results are 34% getting a score over 28, 58% getting 21 to 28, and 8% less than 21. Test whether or not the principal is correct to brag that his proportions were more impressive than the national performance. Use an alpha of .05. Comparing the critical value of chi-square to the calculated chi-square, what is the proper conclusion to the test?arrow_forwardThe principal of Paul Revere High School bragged that his 2016 graduating class of 1500 students achieved impressive scores on their ACT exams.

I am mostly confused about how to determine the degree of freedom to get the critical value. Like I know the formula is d-C, and C is the number of categories in the word problem, but is there 3? Or am I just totally wrong?arrow_forwardI've been stuck on this question all day and need help solving it, thanks so much.arrow_forward
