- During an episode of tonight show, a talk show host related "The birthday problem " to the audience noting that in a group of 50 or more people, probablists have calculated that the probability of atleast 2 people having the same birthday is very high. To illustrate this point he proceeded to conduct his own experiment. A person selected at random from the audience was asked to state his birthday. The host then adked whether anyone in the audience had the same birthday. The response was negative. He repeated the experiment. Once again the response was negative. These results observed the host,were contrary to expectations. In a later episode of the show, the host explained why the experiment had been improperly conducted. Explain why the host failed to illustrate the point he was trying to make in the earlier episodearrow_forwardplease send handwritten solution for Q 2arrow_forwardA biased coin has a 2/3 probability of landing heads and a 1/3 probability of landing tails.You toss the coin 9 times.

- An anger-management course claims that, after completing its seminar, participants will lose their tempers less often. Always a skeptic, you decide to test this claim. A random sample of 12 seminar participants is chosen, and these participants are asked to record the number of times that they lost their tempers in the two weeks prior to the course. After the course is over, the same participants are asked to record the number of times that they lost their tempers in the next two weeks. The following table lists the results of the survey. Using these data, test the claim at the 0.01 level of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal. Let participants before completing the anger-management course be Population 1 and let participants after completing the anger-management course be Population 2.
