0 Question 1 [3 0/1 pt '0 3 23 99 G) Details Multiple-choice questions each have 6 possible answers, one of which is correct. Assume that you guess the answers to 3 such questions. Use the multiplication rule to find the probability that the first two guesses are wrong and the third is correct. That is, find P(WWC), where C denotes a correct answer and W denotes a wrong answer. (round answer to 4 decimal places) P(WWC') 2 What is the probability of getting exactly one correct answer when 3 guesses are made? (round answer to 4 decimal places) P(exactly one correct answer) = Question Help: Q Written Example Submit Question 0 Question 2 E on pt '0 3 8 99 (9 Details Katy is catering an event this weekend and needs to begin prepping. There are 230 guests scheduled to attend the event. On the menu is a chicken dish, a salmon dish, and a vegetarian dish. Although people often do have a preference for fish and chicken, she is particularly concerned with having enough vegetarian dishes available. Unfortunately, the event did not ask for the guests preference in advance. However, one thing that Katy does know is that for this locality, she has found that the percentage of people who are vegetarian to be around 8%. She knows, though, that just purely making 8% of meals may not be enough, and there is still a high chance of running out of vegetarian meals. She wants to ensure that the probability of running out of vegetarian meals is low. Having taken a Statistics course in college, she vaguely recalls that a Binomial distribution may help her solve this problem, but she needs help. First, verify the conditions for a binomial distribution. Explain how you know each of the conditions are satisfied. Binary - Each trial can result in a success or failure. What would ou consider a success or failure? Identical and Independent Trials - Each trial has the same probability of success, and are independent of each other. What is the probability of success for each trial? Are each trial independent {think 5% rule)? Number of trials are fixed - Do we know the number of trials? A Hint: You can consider each individual person deciding what to eat as a trial. Identify the binomial parameters. Write p and q as a decimal. 0 Question 3 E on pt '0 3 5:5 99 G) Details Using the Binomial distribution, If n=6 and p=0.6, find P(x=4) i J 0 Question 4 E 011 pt '0 3 3 99 (9 Details You are taking a 15 question multiple choice test, where each question has 3 possible answers.

That show recently had a share of 15, which means, that among the TV sets in use, 15% were tuned to Letters. An advertiser wants to verify that 15% share value by conducting its own survey, and a pilot survey begins with 12 households have TV sets in use at the time of a Letters broadcast. Find the probability that none of the households are tuned to Lett3rs. P(none) = Find the probability that at least one household is tuned to Lett3rs. P(at least one) = Find the probability that at most one household is tuned to Lett3rs. P(at most one) = If at most one household is tuned to Letters, does it appear that the 15% share value is wrong? (Hint: Is the occurrence of at most one household tuned to Letters unusual?) No, it does not seem wrong. It is still reasonable to observe at most one household tuned to Lett3rs given a 15% share. Yes, it appears to be wrong. Observing at most one household tuned to Letters would be unusual to see if the show had a share of 15%.

This plan randomly selects and tests 28 tablets, then accepts the whole batch if there is at most one that doesn't meet the required specifications. What is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted if a particular shipment of thousands of ibuprofen tablets actually has a 8% rate of defects?

Find the probability that the flight has empty seats Question Help: Written Example Submit QuestionQuestion 17 0/1 pt 0 3 # 99 0 Details After being rejected for employment, Kim Kelly learns that the Bellevue Credit Company has hired only three women among the last 18 new employees. She also learns that the pool of applicants is very large, with an approximately equal number of qualified men as qualified women. Help her address the charge of gender discrimination by finding the probability of getting three or fewer women when 18 people are hired, assuming that there is no discrimination based on gender. (Report answer accurate to 8 decimal places). P(at most three) = Because this is a serious claim, we will use a stricter cutoff value for unusual events. We will use 0.5% as the cutoff value (1 in 200 chance of happening by chance). With this in mind, does the resulting probability really support such a charge? no, this does not support a charge of gender discrimination O yes, this supports a charge of gender discrimination Submit Question .
