Question
1. Suppose that A and B are two mutually exclusive events in a sample space such that P(A) =1- P(B). Which of
the following results regarding events A and B is false?
(a) P(An B) = P(A)P(B).
(b) P(ANB) = P(An).
(c) P(A) = P(AnE)
(d) P(B) = P(BnĀ).
[Questions 2-3] Blue-Fly Airline took a random sample of n flights to determine the mean time it takes for luggage to reach
the travelers departing from a flight. The sample mean was found to be 8.2 minutes with a standard deviation of 3 minutes.
Assume that the time in minutes has a normal distribution. Suppose that interest is in testing, at the 5% level of significance,
whether the true mean time it takes for luggage to reach the travelers is less than 10 minutes.
2. If T = -3, what is the numerical value of n?
(а) 10.
(b) 25.
(c) 20.
(d) 8.2.
3. If 0.003 < p – value < 0.0035, which conclusion is correct?
(a) Ho is not rejected and conclude that at the 5% level of significance there is insufficient evidence that the
mean time it takes for luggage to reach the travelers is less than 10 minutes.
(b) Họ is rejected and conclude that at the 5% level of significance there is sufficient evidence that the mean
time it takes for luggage to reach the travelers is less than 10 minutes.
(c) Ho is not rejected and conclude that at the 5% level of significance there is sufficient evidence that the mean
time it takes for luggage to reach the travelers is more than 10 minutes.
(d) Họ is rejected and conclude that at the 5% level of significance there is insufficient evidence that the mean
time it takes for luggage to reach the travelers is less than 10 minutes.
4. Suppose we want to estimate the concentration (ug/mL) of a specific dose of ampicillin in the urine after various
periods. We recruit 23 volunteers who have received ampicillin and find they have a mean concentration of 12.0
ug/mL with a standard deviation of 4.4 ug/mL. Since the sample size is small, what assumption is needed to
construct a 98% CI for the population standard deviation of the concentrations? Construct a 98% CI for the
population standard deviation of concentrations.
(a) We must assume the population of concentrations is from a chi-squared distribution then the interval is:
[10.5716; 44.6363].
(b) We must assume the population of concentrations is from a t distribution then the interval is: [3.2514; 6.6810].
(c) We must assume the population of concentrations is from an F distribution then the interval is:
[3.2514; 6.6810].
(d) We must assume the population of concentrations is from a normal distribution then the interval is:
[3.2514; 6.6810).

8. Suppose a lecturer sets up a probability question for an upcoming exam. He defines A and B as two events
such that P(A) = 0.8 and P(B) = 0.7. He then defines P(An B) = 0.76. Is this an appropriate value for
P(An B)?
(a) Yes, since P(AU B) = 0.74 and all other probabilities specified in the question satisfy probability laws.
(b) No, since P(An B) cannot be larger than either of P(A) or P(B) and in this case will result in a negative
value for P(BnĀ).
(c) No, since A and B are mutually exclusive and the probability of the union of evets A and B is greater than
one and this violates probability laws.
(d) Yes, since P(A), P(B) and P(An B) are all between zero and one.
9. Suppose that A and B as two events such that P(A) = 0.60, P(B) = 0.45 and P(Au B) = 0.60. Determine
