Suppose you always eat a particular brand of cookes out of the standart sized package, it comes in from the store, which has 4 rows of cookies in equal amounts. You notice that when you eat 3 at a time, there's always one cookie left over. You decide when you purchase the next package, you'll eat 5 at a time, but still, there's always one cookie left over. Since it really is'nt helpfull to always have a leftover cookie, you decide to eat 7 at a time, and there are no cookies leftover, but you notice that in your last grab of 7 cookies, you're one cookie short. A. If you know there are less tha 100 cookies in the package, how many cookies are there? Solve the problem, showing each step of your work, and explain your thinking. B. You decide to space out your cookie eating, and eat one cookie a day, how many weeks will one package of cookies last? C. If you eat 2 cookies a day, how many days will one package of cookies last?

According to U.S. government statistics, mononucleosis (mono) is four times more common among college students than the rest of the population. Blood tests for the disease are not 100% accurate. Assume that the following table of data was obtained regarding students who came to a certain school's health center complaining of tiredness, a sore throat, and slight fever. Has Mono Doesn't Have Mono Totals Positive Blood Test 19 44 63 Negative Blood Test 46 29 75 Totals 65 73 138 If a student is selected from this group, find the probability that the test is positive, given that the student has mono.
An explosion at a construction site could haveoccurred as the result of static electricity, malfunctioningof equipment, carelessness, or sabotage. Interviews withconstruction engineers analyzing the risks involved ledto the estimates that such an explosion would occur withprobability 0.25 as a result of static electricity, 0.20 as aresult of malfunctioning of equipment, 0.40 as a result ofcarelessness, and 0.75 as a result of sabotage. It is alsofelt that the prior probabilities of the four causes of theexplosion are 0.20, 0.40, 0.25, and 0.15. Based on all thisinformation, what is(a) the most likely cause of the explosion;(b) the least likely cause of the explosion?
A soda company sells one of its soft drinks in 12 ounce cans. In order to ensure that every can has at least 12 ounces in it, the machines in the factory are set to fill each can with an average of 12.1 ounces of soda. Every week, a quality-control technician tests 10 cans to make sure that the average amount of soda in the cans is still 12.1 ounces. If the conclusion of the test is that the number of ounces of soda in the cans is different from 12.1, the technician will declare that the process is out of control, and the machine will be stopped and calibrated. From previous tests, the technician found that the standard deviation of the number of ounces of soda in the cans is approximately 0.01. The number of ounces of soda in the 10 cans that were tested this week is given below. Assume that the standard deviation from the technician's previous tests is the population standard deviation. Use a TI-83, TI-83 Plus, or TI-84 calculator to test whether filling process is out of control and…
Suppose insurance agency services customers who have both a homeowner’s policy and an automobile policy. For each type of policy, a deductible amount must be specified. For an automobile policy, the choices are TZS100 and TZS250, whereas for a homeowner’s policy, the choices are 0, TZS100, and TZS200. Suppose also that an individual is selected at random from the agency’s files. Let X = his deductible amount on the auto policy and Y = his deductible amount on the homeowner’s policy (a) What are the possible (X, Y) pairs? (b) Suppose the joint probability mass function is given by the insurance company in the accompanying joint probability in the following Table Table: Discrete Joint Probability Distribution for X and Y P(x,y) 0 100 200 X 100 0.2 0.10 0.2 250 0.05 0.15 0.3 What is p (100, 100) What is P (Y greater than 100)?
Assume that there is a 6% rate of disk filure in a year. a) If all your computer data storage is stored on a hard drive with a copy stored on a second hard disk drive, what is the probabiblity that during that year you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive? b) If copies of all your computer data are stored on three independent hard disk drives, what is the probablility that during a year you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive?
The market research department at a manufacturing plant determines that 30% of the people who purchase the plant's product during any month will not purchase it the next month. On the other hand, 40% of the people who do no purchase the product during any month will purchase it the next month. In a population of 1000 people, 200 people purchased the product this month. How many will purchase the product the next month and in 2 months.
The Reviews editor for a certain scientific journal decides whether the reviewfor any particular book should be short (1–2 pages), medium (3–4 pages), or long(5–6 pages). Data on recent reviews indicates that 45% of them are short, 35%are medium, and the other 20% are long. Reviews are submitted in either Wordor LaTeX. For short reviews, 70% are in Word, whereas 55% of medium reviewsare in Word and 40% of long reviews are in Word. Suppose a recent review israndomly selected.(a) What is the probability that the selected review was submitted in LaTeX for-mat? (b) If the selected review was submitted in Word format, what are the posteriorprobabilities of it being short, medium, or long?
