Having endured and survived the mental trauma that comes from taking two years of chemistry, a year of physics, and a year of biology, Bill decides to test the medical school waters and sends his applications to two colleges X and Y. Based on how his friends have fared, he estimates that his probability of being accepted at X is 0.7, and at Y is 0.4. He also suspects that there is a 75% chance at least one of his applications will be rejected. What is the probability that Bill was accepted at College Y given that he was accepted at College X?

Alena has a pair of dogs, and she noticed they usually breed more male puppies than females. To check that, she bred them again and obtained 15 puppies, and 13 of them were males. Let's test the hypothesis that each puppy has an equal chance of 50% of being either male or female versus the alternative that the chance of a male puppy is greater. The table below sums up the results of 1000 simulations, each simulating 15 puppies with a 50% chance of being male or female. According to the simulations, what is the probability of having 13 male puppies or more out of 15?Let's agree that if the observed outcome has a probability less than 1% under the tested hypothesis, we will reject the hypothesis.
For the T-test of the single sample, does the GPA of a group of students who were considered gifted in primary school is higher than the university's mean GPA? How do you state your hypothesis and then how do you decide based on the t-test if we should reject the null hypothesis?
Genesis wants to invest his money in a fast food restaurant. There is a 38% chance of losing P400,000, a 30% chanceof making a profit of P 550,000, and a 32% chance of getting a break even. Based on these information, should Genesisinvest his money in the fast food restautant?
Dreamfilms Studios boasts that its summer features are so good that at least half of all tickets sold one summer are for its films. A competing studio claims that less than half of all tickets sold are for Dreamfilms' movies. After the hypothesis test is completed, the conclusion is to fail to reject the null hypothesis. If the true percentage of tickets sold for Dreamfilms Studios' movies that summer was only 48%, was an error committed? If so, what type?

If the proportion of the population in City A that is over 65 years old is p1 and the proportion of the population in City B that is over 65 years old is p2, what is the null hypothesis for a test to determine if the proportion of the population that is over 65 years old is greater in City A? Select the correct answer below: H0: p1−p2=0 H0: p1−p2>0 H0: p1−p2<0 H0: p1−p2≠0
A foreign car manufacturer advertises that its newest model, the Bullet, rarely stops at gas stations. In fact, they claimed that its EPA rating for highway driving is at least 32.5 mpg. However, the results of a recent independent study determined the mpg for 50 identical models of the Bullet, with these results: n = 50, x= 30.4 mpg, and s = 5.3 mpg.This report failed to offer any conclusion, and you have been asked to interpret these results by someone who has always felt that the 32.5 figure is too high. What would be your conclusion using a significance level of 5%?Z = 1.645
Dave has just left an interview with a prospective employer. The hiring manager told Dave that she will tolerate one mistake during his first year but will fire him if he makes two mistakes. Based on Dave’s research and understanding of the job, he estimates that he will have to make five critical decisions during the year, and with his knowledge of the processes, figures that he will have about an 80% chance of making any of those five decisions correctly. Dave does not want to run any more than a 25% chance of being fired. If each of the decisions is independent of the others, should Dave risk taking the job if offered? 0.8 is the probability of making a correct decision, therefore 0.2 is the probability of making a mistake. The table below is constructed to help compute probabilities dependent on one another for making a total of 0 or 1 mistakes given the conditions above. Total Number of Mistakes 1st Decision 2nd Decision 3rd Decision 4th Decision 5th Decision P…
When having a baby, assume that the probability of having a boy is 50% and the probability of having a girl is 50%. The Ericsson method is one of several methods claimed to increase the likelihood of having a baby girl. In a clinical trial, results could be analyzed with a formal hypothesis test with the alternative hypothesis (H1) of p>0.5, which corresponds to the claim that the method increases the likelihood of having a girl, so that the proportion of girls is greater than 0.5. 1. State the null hypothesis (H0) involving this proportion. 2. If you have an interest in establishing the success of the method, which of the following P-values would you prefer: 0.999, 0.5, 0.95, 0.5 0.01, 0.001? 3. Why would you prefer that p-value over the others?
