WHAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER AND WHY?
A common way for two people to settle a frivolous dispute is to play a game of rock-paper-scissors. In this game, each person simultaneously displays a hand signal to indicate a rock, a piece of paper, or a pair of scissors. Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock. If both players select the same hand signal, the game results in a tie.
Two roommates, roommate A and roommate B, are expecting company and are arguing over who should have to wash the dishes before the company arrives. Roommate A suggests a game of rock-paper-scissors to settle the dispute.
Consider the game of rock-paper-scissors to be an experiment. In the long run, roommate A chooses rock 21% of the time, and roommate B chooses rock 61% of the time; roommate A selects paper 39% of the time, and roommate B selects paper 21% of the time; roommate A chooses scissors 40% of the time, and roommate B chooses scissors 18% of the time. (These choices are made randomly and independently of each…
A qualifying exam for a graduate school program has a math section and a verbal section. Students receive a score of 1, 2, or 3 on each section. Define X as a student’s score on the math section and Y as a student’s score on the verbal section. Test scores vary according to the following bivariate probability distribution.

If the university registrar were to compile the grade point averages (GPAs) of all 70 students in the course and compute their average, the result would be a mean GPA of 2.98. Note that this average is unknown to anyone; to collect the GPA information would violate the confidentiality of the students’ academic records. Suppose that the professor who teaches the course wants to know the mean GPA of the students enrolled in her course. She selects a sample of students who are in attendance on the third day of class. The GPAs of the students in the sample are: 3.71 3.92 3.68 3.60 3.64 3.27 3.93 3.12 3.40 3.74 The instructor uses the sample average as an estimate of the mean GPA of her students.

Two-layer solar panels (with 1 meter separating the panels) were constructed above sections of both east-west and north-south highways in a certain country. The amount of energy (kilowatt-hours) supplied to the country's grid by the solar panels above the two types of highways was determined each month. The data for several randomly selected months are provided in the accompanying table. The researchers concluded that the two-layer solar panel energy generation is more viable for the north-south oriented highways as compared to east-west oriented roadways. Compare the mean solar energy amounts generated for the two types of highways using a 97% confidence interval. Does the interval support the researchers' conclusion?
