Suppose you play a game that you can only either win or lose. The probability that you win any game is 65%, and the probability that you lose is 35%. Each game you play is independent. Let X is the number of wins If you play the game 20 times.  Find the variance of X
Suppose that the random variable X measures the number of hot dogs purchased in a food court in an hour and Y measures the number of packages of antacid purchased in the pharmacy next door in the same hour. The correlation between the two variables is 0.75. Suppose the variance of X and the variance of Y are both equal to 36. One package on antacid costs 3 dollars and one hot dog costs 2 dollars. Define the random variable W as the total expenditure in hot dogs and antacids, W = 2X +3Y. What is the standard deviation of W? Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not enter any dollar sign.
The table below shows a sample of waiting times​ (in days) for a heart transplant for two age groups. At α=​0.05, can you conclude that the variances of the waiting times differ between the two age​groups?
