Suppose a person is thinking about entering a MarioKart competition at theirlocal videogame store. The competition costs 20 dollars to enter. The competition consists of 10 matches. The person knows that their chance of winning each match is 65% and that each match is independent of the others.
The payout for the competition is:
WIN ALL 10 Matches: 500 Dollar Prize
WIN 9 Matches: 250 Dollar PrizeWIN 8 Matches: 50 Dollar Prize
OTHERWISE: Nothing
1) Suppose that this person enters the competition 5 times.What is the probability they break even?(Hint: To break even they would need to win the $50 prize twice and lose the other three times. Use a modified binomial to calculate this probability.)

Twenty individuals with chronic pain were randomly assigned to one of five doses 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0-in milligrams (mg) of medication. The results are shown in the scatterplot below. Pain Relief (hours) 14- 12- 10- 8. + 2 0.0 0.5 1.0 Dose (mg) 1.5 2.0 The data were used to fit a least-squares regression line to predict the number of hours of pain relief for a given dose. Which of the following would be revealed by a plot of the residuals of the regression versus the dose? (A) The sum of the residuals is less than 0. (B) The sum of the residuals is greater than 0. (C) There are outliers associated with the lower doses. (D) The variation in the hours of pain relief is not the same across the doses. (E) There is a positive linear relationship between the residuals and the dose.arrow_forward
- The demand for a commodity is given by Q = 30 +3₁P+u, where Q denotes quantity, P denotes price, and u denotes factors other than price that determine demand. Supply for the commodity is given by Q = % + v, where u denotes factors other than price that determine supply. Suppose that u and v both have a mean of zero, have variances o and o2, and are mutually uncorrelated. Solve the two simultaneous equations to show how Q and P depend on u and v.arrow_forwardLecture(8.1): A research study was conducted that measured empathy after watching Sesame street for five days in a row.

Empathy was measured after 5 days. For study B the researcher decided to only recruit only 10 children who all watched Sesame street and this time measued empathy before the first hour of Sesame street and again afte 5 days once the lasr hour was watched.

At the Olympic level of competition, even the smallest factors can make a difference between winning and losing. Previous research has found that Olympic marksmen shoot much better when they fire between heartbeats rather than during heartbeats (Pelton, 1983). The tiny vibration of a heartbeat appears to be enough to influence accuracy. A student at the University of Texas attempts to replicate the study with a group of collegiate marksmen. A group of collegiate marksmen (n = 6) fire a series of rounds while the student records heartbeats. For each shooter, a score is recorded for shots fired between and during heartbeats. Do the data support the earlier finding? Use alpha = .05.

Thank you!arrow_forwardHW 9.2 You face the following decision problem: You are trying to sell your old car, which has recently been in an accident. You have two interested buyers. The first potential buyer has made an offer of $5000 for the car, if you sell the car today. The second potential buyer plans to come tomorrow when they can get here easily, and if they like the car, they would pay $7000 for it. You think there is about a 60% chance they will like the car. If for some reason you did not sell to either of these potential buyers, you would just sell it to a used car dealership for $3000. Decision: Accept First potential buyer: $5000 Or Reject First potential buyer, and then, either Second potential buyer likes car (60% chance): $7000, or Second potential buyer does not like car (40% chance): $3000 (sell to used car dealership) Part a: In terms of EMV, how much is it worth to learn whether the second buyer likes the car before you have to accept or reject the first buyer's offer?
