A researcher believes that table-top role playing games can change creative intelligence through problem solving. To test this, the researcher recruits 5 participants from a university who have never played a table-top role playing game before, and instructs them to play Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) weekly for two months. An experienced Game Master (GM) is recruited as a confederate for the participants. This confederate runs the campaign, and helps the participants understand the mechanics for the game. The participants are then tested using Sternberg’s test for creative intelligence (scores provided below.). Their data is compared to the population average of 100.5. Did D&D demonstrate a difference in creative intelligence? Was this difference meaningful? Participants Creative IQ: 96, 103, 113, 119, 129

For the remainder of this question, we will consider one of the world's most popular video games,
Minecraft (adapted from Mills & Mills, 2016). In this game, the character (you) can attempt to tame
a wolf with a bone. Assume that you get 9 tries to tame the wolf, i.e. there are 9 bones. Each time
you tame the wolf, the wolf becomes a dog and a new wolf appears which you can then attempt to
also tame. This continues until you have used up all 9 bones, and the goal is to end up with as
many dogs as possible at the end of the game. The probability of taming the wolf with each
attempt is fixed at 0.54. Let X denote the number of dogs at the end of the game so that
X~ BIN (9,0.54). Assume you are about to play the game.
13. What is the probability you will tame more than 4 dogs?

At an ice cream shop, three flavors are increasing in demand. Last year, banana, pumpkin, and rocky road ice cream made up 12% of total ice cream sales. This year, the same three ice creams made up 16.9% of ice cream sales. The rocky road sales doubled, the banana sales increased by 50%, and the pumpkin sales increased by 20%.

Now every weekend evening in the summer your neighbors and their kids come over to enjoy conversation, games, and cool beverages with you and your family. One especially cunning parent has managed to convince the neighborhood children to put down their tablets and phones and play by catching (and sometimes releasing) fireflies. You make a game out of it by seeing how many they can catch every 15 minutes. Throughout the course of a long evening, you collect the data below, which shows how many fireflies the kids catch every 15 minutes. Assuming this data comes from a normally distributed population – can you conclude that the average number of fireflies caught after 10 pm was greater than the average caught before 10 pm?

His advisor tells Tom that he has to take one course from each of English (6 choices), History (8 choices), Math/Stats (5 choices), Computer Science (7 choices), and general Science (7 choices). Does Tom have a legitimate gripe? (1) If every possible course is available at the time he's registering, how many possible schedules can he choose from (disregarding when the classes meet)? Tom can choose from possible schedules. (2) In an unprecedented effort to make the general education requirements more accessible, the dean of Tom's college decides to double the number of acceptable courses in each of those five areas. What effect does this have on the number of possible schedules? Tom can choose from possible schedules when the number of acceptable courses are doubled.

The company recently introduced a new type of video camcorder that has taken the market by storm. Although Henry is pleased with the strong demand for this product in the market place, it has been a challenge to keep up with MEC's distributors' orders of this camcorder. His current challenge is how to meet requests from MEC's major distributors in Pittsburgh, Denver, Baltimore, and Houston who have placed orders of 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, and 25,000 units, respectively, for delivery in 2 months (there is a 1-month manufacturing and one-month shipping lead time for this product).

The previous farmer grew corn for several decades and kept detailed records of his crop production each year. These records include the amount of sunlight, the amount of rain, the average yield, and other such figures. In an effort to help Donna out, the previous farmer compares his records of using two popular fertilizers: Earthy and SunX. He pulls his records for the 7 seasons he used Earthy on his corn and the records for the 7 seasons that he used SunX on his corn. He uses these records to compare the average corn yield for the 7 seasons that he used Earthy to the average corn yield for the 7 seasons that he used SunX. If applicable, he will recommend the better fertilizer to Donna. (a)First choose whether the procedure described above is an observational study or a designed experiment.
