Chapter 16.1, Problem 5P
A family math night at school features the following game. There are two opaque bags, each containing red blocks and yellow blocks. Bag 1 contains 3 red blocks and 5 yellow blocks. Bag 2 contains 5 red blocks and 15 yellow blocks. To play the game, you pick a bag and then you pick a block out of the bag without looking. You win a prize if you pick a red block. Kate thinks she should pick from bag 2 because it contains more red blocks. Is Kate more likely to pick a red block if she picks from bag 2 rather than bag 1? Explain why or why not.

You will use a single test car, adding weights so that its total weight is 3000, 3500, or 4000 pounds. The car will drive on a test track at each weight using each of Amoco, Marathon, and Speedway gasoline. Which is the best way to organize the study? Start with 3000 pounds and Amoco and run the car on the test track. Then do 3500 and 4000 pounds. Change to Marathon and go through the three weights in order. Then change to Speedway and do the three weights in order once more. Start with 3000 pounds and Amoco and run the car on the test track. Then change to Marathon and then to Speedway without changing the weight. Then add weights to get 3500 pounds and go through the three gasolines in the same order.Then change to 4000 pounds and do the three gasolines in order again.
