Addition Rule of Probability
It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.
Expected Value
When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …
Probability Distributions
Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…
Basic Probability
The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the prob…

Chapter 7, Problem 20P

Junes, Thomas, and Piper (2003) conducted a study to evaluate the effect of alcohol on judgments of attractiveness for members of the opposite sex. Male college students who had cither no alcohol or moder­ate alcohol consumption were shown photographs of females and asked to judge the attractiveness of each face on a 7-point scale (7 = highest). Data similar to the results obtained in the study are shown in the fol­lowing table.

Alcohol Consumption Mean SE
None 3.4 0.20
Moderate 4.09 0.22
  1. a. Construct a bar graph that incorporates all of the information in the table.
  2. b. Looking at your graph, do you think that alcohol con sumption has an effect on perceived attractiveness?
