A survey of grocery store customers concerning their purchasing habits for three brands of breakfast cereal labelled B1, B2 and B3 was carried out. Each customer was asked if they had purchased each of the brands within the last two years, and the total counts of response patterns were recorded. The results are displayed in the following table: Y indicates that the brand had been purchased, N indicates that the brand had not been purchased: That is, 28 had purchased none of the brands, 24 had purchased B2 and B3, but not B1 etc. A customer is selected from the survey participants, with all customers equally likely to be selected. Compute the probability that the customer had, in the last two years, (a) purchased brand B1 (b) purchased brand B1 and brand B3, but not brand B2; (c) purchased at least two of the brands

A social and personality psychologist thinks that creativity differs by personality traits, rather than the traditional view that it is a cognitive process. Specifically, this psychologist thinks that introverts are more creative than extraverts. The researcher gives a personality test to a group of 16 university students and then separates them based on the assessment results into 2 groups: the extraverts and the introverts. The participants are then asked to write a short story which is rated on creativity by a well-known author. The creativity scores range from 0 to 20 on an interval scale, where higher scores indicate greater creativity. The results are shown in Table 2. Using the 0.05 alpha level, are introverts more creative than extroverts? Use all of the steps of hypothesis testing. extrovert introvert 8 18 7 17 11 10 3 14 5 16 8 15 7 19 4 12

Chocolate, in all of its varied forms (candy bars, cocoa, cakes, cookies, coating for other candies and fruits) is probably the favorite confection in the world. To say the least, chocolate is as ubiquitous as a non-essential food can be. Chocolate all starts with a small tropical tree, the Theobroma cacao, usually called simply, “cacao" that is native to Central and South America but it is grown commercially throughout the tropics especially in Africa. Now, getting from cacao bean to your favorite chocolate treat , the cocoa supply chain is an interesting, bittersweet one. Specifically, the $130B global chocolate industry relies on cocoa farming for supply of chocolate’s key ingredient. Yet, many cocoa farmers struggle to survive with cocoa farmers in Ghana making $1 per day, while those in Côte d’Ivoire make around $0.78 per day make. For the record, The World Bank has established the threshold for extreme poverty at $1.90/day. Making sense of the global cocoa industry directs out…
You consider buying insurance for your car for the next year. Your car is worth £15000. Historical data shows that you have 85% chance of not having any accident next year, 12% chance of having a minor accident, and 3% chance of having a serious accident, destroying the car. [For moral purposes, we assume your physical integrity not to be diminished, only the car is affected, not the persons inside]. The insurance company will pay the cost of the damage, which is estimated on average at £5000 for a minor accident, and of course the value of the car if it is destroyed. You adopt a risk-averse approach, with utility function U(x)=log(x+1000). We consider the insurance company to be risk-neutral. The cost of the insurance is £k. For which values of k (rounded) are both parties (you and the insurance company) happy to trade?
