Chapter 9, Problem 76SE
Hotel Availability Over Holiday Weekend. A radio station in Myrtle Beach announced that at least 90% of the hotels and motels would be full for the Memorial Day weekend. The station advised listeners to make reservations in advance if they planned to be in the resort over the weekend. On Saturday night a sample of 58 hotels and motels showed 49 with a no-vacancy sign and 9 with vacancies. What is your reaction to the radio station’s claim after seeing the sample evidence? Use α = .05 in making the statistical test. What is the p-value?

In a bowling tournament, a team has won 15 of its last 20 games.
Based on this information, what is the probability that it will win:
a) at least 4 of the remaining 10?
b) exactly 4 of the remaining 10?
c) more than 4 of its remaining 10?
d) Construct a graph of the probability distribution.
Determine whether a probability distribution exists. If a probability distribution exists,
find its mean and standard deviation. If a probability distribution does not exist, identify the
requirements that are not met.
Fun Ways to Flirt A sociologist randomly selects single adults into groups of three,
and the random variable x is the number of people in the group who say the most fun way to

- A number of years ago, there was a popular television game show called Let's Make a Deal. The host, Monty Hall, would randomly select contestants from the audience and, as the title suggests, he would make deals for prizes. Contestants would be given relatively modest prizes and then would be offered the opportunity to risk that prize to win better ones. Suppose a contestant on this show, On the stage are three curtains, A, B, and C. Behind one of them is a brand-new car worth $45,000. Behind the other two curtains, the stage is empty.mthey must now select one of the curtains. Suppose you select Curtain A.In an attempt to make things more interesting, Monty then exposes an empty stage by opening Curtain C (note: he knows that there is nothing behind Curtain C).

Assuming we repeat the random selection process for the 12 jurors and count the number of Mexican-Americans each time, calculate the mean number of Mexican-Americans (out of 12), the variance, and the standard deviation. Use these results and the interval rule of thumb to calculate the highest common value and the lowest common value. Based on the results, determine whether a jury consisting of 7 Mexican-Americans out of 12 jurors is common or uncommon.
