1. In a well known quiz show, the contestant is asked to choose between door number 1, door number 2, and door number 3. The grand prize, of course, is behind one of the doors. Suppose that ea
In each of the following situations, the sampling frame does not match the population, resulting in undercoverage. Give examples of population members that might have been omitted.
Two prison inmates communicate in binary by tapping on the adjacent wall. Suppose that the probability of receiving a zero given that a zero was sent is 0.98, the probability of receiving a one give
An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed by pilots weighing between 150 lb and 191 lb. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weights w
1) Assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of 105 and a standard deviation of 15. Find P15, which is the IQ score separating the bottom 15% frm the top 85?
There are 10 steps leading up to the library entrance. You walk up the stairs taking 1 step at a time, 2 steps at a time, or some combination of 1 and 2 steps. How many ways are there to go up the

We roll two six sided dice, one with sides 1,2,2,3,3,4 and the other with sides 1,3,4,5,6,8. What is the distribution of the sum?
Suppose that you add 10 to all of the observations in a sample. How does this change the sample mean? How does it change the sample standard deviation?
Construct a relative frequency distribution for each car type. Draw a side-by-side relative frequency bar graph. Compare the colors for the two car types. Make a conjecture about the reasons for the d
When a certain manufacturing process is correctly adjusted, the length of a machine part produced is a random variable with a mean of 200 cm and a standard deviation of 0.1 cm. The individual meas
At the 5% level of significance, test that the percentage of defective printed circuit boards is 10% against the alternative that it is greater than 10%. Find the p-value for the test.
Why is it important that a sample be random? For its validity, all hypothesis testing depends heavily on the assumption that the sample that is used was drawn using probability sampling techniques.
