When the store opens, Arish, Meera, and Zenobia enter. There are two service counters.
Arish begins service at one counter, and Meera begins service at the other counter.
Zenobia waits until either Arish or Meera finishes service, and then begins service at that
point in time. Assume that the three service times are independent, exponentially
distributed random variables. Arish's service time has mean 4 minutes, Meera's service
time has mean 5 minutes, and Zenobia's service time has mean 6 minutes.
(a) What is the probability that Arish completes service before Meera?
(b) What is the expected time that Zenobia waits until starting service?
(C) What is the probability that the three finish in alphabetical order?
Researchers conduct a study to test a potential side effect of a new allergy medication. A
random sample of 160 subjects with allergies was selected for the study. The new
"improved" Brand I medication was randomly assigned to 80 subjects, and the current
Brand C medication was randomly assigned to the other 80 subjects. 14 of the 80 patients
with Brand I reported drowsiness, and 22 of the 80 patients with Brand C reported
drowsiness. Perform a test to see if there is a difference in proportions of subjects
reporting drowsiness.

Conclusion:
A researcher is interested in the effects of cocaine on learning. A group of rats is randomly assigned to receive either cocaine or a non-harmful saline solution. The rats are taught how to run a maze. The cocaine rats need to be reared away from the control group rats, so they are handled and taught by one experimenter, and the control group rats are handled and taught by another experimenter. The results showed that the control group rats learned how to run the maze more quickly than the cocaine rats.

- The viruses causing problems in strawberry plants are mainly spread by one insect, the strawberry aphid. Carly believes that as aphids feed on leaves, they transmit viruses that can cause a rapid decrease in plant growth. She decides to verify whether or not the number of strawberry aphids found on a plant could be linked to its growth. She therefore randomly chooses 5 strawberry plants at the same stage of development in a virus-infested garden. For each individual plant, she first collects all the aphids present on the plant and weighs them, and then weighs the entire plant to have a measure of plant growth. She obtains the following data. (Attach on side) Is Carly correct in thinking that when the number of aphids on a plant is larger, the growth of the plant is affected (i.e., its weight is smaller)? Apply the appropriate statistical method with a test of significance at α = 0.05.arrow_forwardAn aircraft emergency locator transmitter (ELT) is a device designed to transmit a signal in the case of a crash. Company A makes 80% of the ELTs, Company B makes 15% of them and Company C makes the other 5%. The ELTs made by Company A have a 7.8% rate of defects, the Company B ELTs have a 6.3% rate of defects and the Company C ELTs have 6.4% rate of defects. If a randomly selected ELT is tested and found to be defective, find is the probability that it was made by Company A? Give your answer to three decimal places.arrow_forwardNeuroscience researchers examined the impact of environment on rat development. Rats were randomly assigned to be raised in one of the four following test conditions: Impoverished (wire mesh cage - housed alone), standard (cage with other rats), enriched (cage with other rats and toys), super enriched (cage with rats and toys changes on a periodic basis). After two months, the rats were tested on a variety of learning measures (including the number of trials to learn a maze to a three perfect trial criteria), and several neurological measure (overall cortical weight, degree of dendritic branching, etc.). The data for the maze task is below. Compute the appropriate test for the data provided below. Include solution. Thank youarrow_forward
- Luca and Si play a snooker game, which consists of several rounds ('frames'). They are quite evenly matched: for the first frame, both have an equal probability of winning. However, Si's performance is influenced by the evolution of the game: if he looses a frame, his chances for winning the next one decrease to 48%; if he wins a frame, his chances for winning the next one increase to 51%. Suppose Luca and Si play 3 frames. a. What is the probability that all 3 frames are won by the same player? b. What is the probability that Luca wins the game, meaning he wins at least 2 of the 3 frames? € C. What is the probability that Luca wins the game if Si wins the first frame? . What is the expected number of games won by Luca?arrow_forwardMany golfers wear wrist bracelets containing magnets because they claim the magnets improve balance and the length of shots played off the tee. A golfer would like to determine if the claim has merit and finds 200 volunteers who play golf to participate in an experiment. Half of the golfers are randomly assigned to wear a bracelet with magnets, while the other half wear a bracelet without magnets. Each golfer plays normally for a month, after which the length of their shots in a subsequent round is recorded. What is the response variable in this experiment? the age of each golfer the 200 volunteers the length of shots played by the golfers whether the golfers wear or do not wear the braceletarrow_forwardA system consists of two components. The probability that the second component functions in a satisfactory manner during its design life is 0.9, the probability that at least one of the two components does so is 0.92, and the probability that both components do so is 0.85. Given that the first component functions in a satisfactory manner throughout its design life, what is the probability that the second one does also?arrow_forward
- From data compiled over a 5-year period by Women's Daily in a study of the number of women in the professions, the following transition matrix was constructed. It gives the transitional probabilities for the number of men and women in the professions. As of the beginning of 1986, 52.9% of professional jobs were held by men. If this trend continues, what percent of professional jobs will be held by women in the long run? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)arrow_forwardRecently, a researcher was visiting a local farmers market and saw a sign claiming that grain-fed chicken are consistently larger than chickens fed any other type of diet. Skeptical about the claim, he creates an experiment to see if type of diet has an effect on the weight of a chicken drumstick. He randomly assigns 58 chickens to each of four different diets (Diet 1, Diet 2, Diet 3 and Diet 4) and records the weight of each chicken's heavier drumstick in grams). Is there evidence of a difference in mean drumstick weight across the four diets? What is the response variable? Select one: O a. Chickens Ob. Drumstick weight O c. Diet O d.

The researcher recruited 40 subjects, 20 reported they had no childhood stress and 20 reported they experienced severe childhood stress. The researcher is specifically interested in looking at the MAOA gene, because different versions of this gene are linked to aggression. The researcher conducts a genetic test and finds that half of subjects in each group have a gene for low MAOA activity and the other half have the gene for high MAOA activity. The researchers have the subjects self-rate their aggressive behavior over the last 6 months. 1. Given the scenario above, what are the null and alternative hypotheses? 2. Experimental design:a. What are the independent and dependent variables in this study? b. How many levels of each independent variable are there? c. What type of factorial ANOVA is this?arrow_forward
- In winter of a country, it rains 45% of the days and shine 55% of the days. Mr. X has abarometer which wrongly predicts 5% of the time in rainy days and 10% on shiny days.Mr. X does not carry umbrella if barometer predicts shine. On good shiny morning inwinter, his barometer predicts “shine” and he does not carry umbrella. What is theprobability that Mr. X will suffer from rain on that day.arrow_forwardIs there a link between dark chocolate and weight loss when compared to milk chocolate? A nutritionist gathers 60 people, selected at random, then randomly assigns half of the group to eat a single dark chocolate bar after dinner each night and the other half to eat a single milk chocolate bar after dinner each night for 6 months. Everyone is to keep track of the other food they eat in an app provided. The nutritionist then compares each person’s weight after the 6 months to their weight before eating the different chocolates accounting for the other calories consumed. 12) What type of study does this describe? a) Survey b) Observational study c) Experimental studyarrow_forwardA team of psychologists studied the concept of visualization in basketball, where players visualize making a basket before shooting the ball. They conducted an experiment in which 20 basketball players with similar abilities were randomly assigned to two groups. The 10 players in group 1 received visualization training, and the 10 players in group 2 did not. Each player stood 22 feet from the basket at the same location on the basketball court. Each player was then instructed to attempt to make the basket until two consecutive baskets were made. The players who received visualization training were instructed to use visualization techniques before attempting to make the basket. The total number of attempts, including the last two attempts, were recorded for each player. The total number of attempts for each of the 20 players are summarized in the following boxplots. (a) Based on the boxplots, did basketball players who received visualization training tend to need fewer attempts…arrow_forward
