When Alexa takes her 1st free throw in a game, she has a 40 percent chance to score.She has a 70 percent chance of scoring on her next throw if she scored on the earlierone, but only a 20 percent chance if she didn't score on the previous one. Assumeshe needs to make 3 free throws in a row, the first of which she misses. What is theprobability that she will score at least once on one of the following two throws?
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.
A stock market analyst examined the performance of the shares of a large number ofcorporations. When the performance of these stocks was investigated year later, it turned out that 25 % performed much better than the market average ; 25 % performed much worse ; and remaining shares performed about the same as the average . 40% of the stocks that performed much better than the market average were rated as " good buys ” by the analyst ; as were 20 % of those that did about as well as market average and 10 % of those that did much worse than market average . What is the probability that a stock rated as “ good buys ” by the analyst performed much better than theaverage ?
A citrus grower anticipates a profit of $100,000 this year if the nightly temperatures remain mild. Unfortunately, the weather forecast indicates a 25% chance that the temperatures will drop below freezing during the next week. Such freezing weather will destroy 40% of the crop and reduce the profit to $60,000. However, the grower can protect the citrus fruit against the possible freezing (using smudge pots, electric fans, and so on) at a cost of $5000. Should the grower spend the $5000 and thereby reducethe profit to $95,000? [Hint: Compute E(X ), where X is theprofit the grower will get if he does nothing to protect the fruit.]
In one of their studies, Strayer and his students tested whether people would get better at driving while talking on a cell phone if they practiced doing so (Cooper & Strayer, 2008). They had participants drive in a simulator while talking on a hands-free cell phone and while not talking on a phone. The same people participated over several days, so they had a chance to practice this multitasking. On the first day, they were considered to be least experienced; on the last day, the most experienced. On the last day, they were tested in both a familiar environment and a slightly different driving environment to see if the first days of practice would transfer to a new context. The researchers collected data on how many collisions (accidents) the drivers got into on the simulator. All of the data is in the picture below!! Please answer the following questions about the study! 1. What kind of design is this? (put your answer in the form ___X___ 2. What are the Vs and their levels in…
Sarah believes that completely cutting caffeine out of a person’s diet will allow him or her more restful sleep at night. In fact, she believes that, on average, adults will have more than two additional nights of restful sleep in a four-week period after removing caffeine from their diets. She randomly selects 8 adults to help her test this theory. Each person is asked to consume two caffeinated beverages per day for 28 days, and then cut back to no caffeinated beverages for the following 28 days. During each period, the participants record the numbers of nights of restful sleep that they had. The following table gives the results of the study. Test Sarah’s claim at the 0.02 level of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal. Let the period before removing caffeine be Population 1 and let the period after removing caffeine be Population 2. Numbers of Nights of Restful Sleep in a Four-Week Period With Caffeine 18 24 22…

A gray mouse has a 30% chance of stealing cheese from a mousetrap without getting caught, while a white mouse has a 10% chance of succeeding at that. If 15 gray mice and 17 white mice try to steal cheese from different traps, how many pieces of cheese would you except them to get away with?
An unattended laptop computer has been infected with a virus which, if not removed by the protection program, has a 94% chance of infiltrating the operating system and destroying all stored files. To do this, it will institute a shutdown and require a user reboot. The laptop’s virus protection program, unfortunately, is outdated and thus has only a 68% chance of removing the virus once it has infected the computer. Further, to complete removal, the protection program will also need to institute a shutdown and require a user reboot. The computer has also been set to institute a shutdown on its own, if left unused for an hour, in order to conserve battery power. Suppose the laptop’s owner returns after 60 minutes to find it has shutdown. What is the chance it was the virus that did it (and thus a reboot will destroy the files!)?
