  • Participants rated two candies on a 0-10 scale. Perform a significance test to determine if the mean rating of Candy A is different than the mean rating of Candy B.
    Ho: μ=0 Ha: μ≠0 p≈0.0888 t ≈2.2382 p>∝ Fail to reject Ho, evidence does not suggest the mean rating of Candy A is different from Candy B.
  • The table shown gives the probability that a customer will order a specific restaurant item. What is the probability that a customer will NOT order Pasta?
    P(No Pasta) = 0.93
  • If you roll a standard six-sided die nine times what is the probability that you will roll the number 5 at least once? Round your answer to the nearest percent.
    81%
  • The table shown gives the probability that a customer will order a specific restaurant item. What is the probability that a customer will order a Vegan Entrée?
    P(Vegan) = 0.23
  • You conduct an SRS of 15 online and 18 seated students. The sample average for online is 86 with s=2; the sample average for seated is 90 and s=8.Use a significance test to decide if online students have lower grades? (α=5%).
    Ho: μ1= μ2   Ha: μ1<μ2,  p≈0.0272, t ≈-2.046, p≤∝,  Reject Ho, there is evidence to suggest that online students have lower grades.
  • From a bag containing a yellow, a red, an orange, a pink and a green ball, two balls are selected one after the other with replacement. Draw a tree diagram and list the sample space.
    S = {YY, YR, YO, YP, YG, RY, RR, RO, RP, RG, OY, OR, OO, OP, OG, PY, PR, PO, PP, PG, GY, GR, GO, GP, GG}
  • Suppose you draw ONE card from a standard deck of cards. What is the probability of drawing an ace OR a red card? Give your answer as a fraction in lowest terms.
    P(Ace OR Red) = 7/13
  • Of a sample of 39,888 college applicants the average age was 19. The population standard deviation σ is 3 years. Find the 90% confidence interval of the true mean age of the students that applied to college. Round to the nearest thousandth.
    (18.975 yrs, 19.025 yrs)
  • The distribution of the length of time, that phone batteries hold a charge, is right-skewed with σ = 7 hours. The MyPhone Company desires a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of approximately 1 hour. What sample size is needed?
    189 batteries
  • The distribution of the amount of money that students spend on coffee per month is right skewed with μ = $10 and σ = $125. In a SRS of 30 students, what is the probability that these students will spend on average, less than $55 on coffee?
    98%
  • Wiki.com claims that teens average 6.5 hrs of sleep/night. You think that teens sleep longer than this and conduct a SRS of 100 teens, x ̅= 6.75 hrs and s = 1.5 hrs. Use a significance test to decide if Wiki.com claim is false (α=1%).
    Ho: μ=6.5 hrs Ha: μ>6.5 hrs p≈0.0494 t ≈1.6667 p>∝ Fail to reject Ho, evidence does not suggest that teens get more than 6.5 hours of sleep/night.
  • If you roll a standard die once, what is the probability of rolling an even number less than 6? Give your answer as a fraction in lowest terms.
    P(even #< 6)=1/3
  • The distribution of the length of time, that phone batteries hold a charge, is right-skewed with σ = 7 hours. The MyPhone Company desires a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of approximately 1 hour. What sample size is needed?
    189 batteries
  • The average annual rainfall, taken at 25 different Sonoran Desert locations is found to be 9.25” with s = 2.5”. Find the 95% confidence interval for the true average Sonoran Desert annual rainfall. Round to the nearest thousandth.
    (8.2181”, 10.282”)
  • Suppose you draw two cards, one after another, with replacement from a standard deck of cards. What is the probability of drawing a black card AND a jack? Give your answer as a fraction in lowest terms.
    P(Black & Jack) = 1/26
  • Each time you play a certain game it is possible to lose $5, break even, or win $40. The probability for each outcome, X, is shown in the table. Calculate μx, the expected value for this game.  Round to the hundredths place.
    $0.50
  • Each time you play a certain game it is possible to lose $5, break even, or win $40. The probability for each outcome, X, is shown in the table. Calculate σx ,the standard deviation of X. Round to the hundredths place.
    $13.31
  • ShakeShack claims their shakes have 625 mL. In a SRS of 30 shakes you find an average of 619 mL. The shakes have σ = 5 mL. Use a significance test to determine if the company is underfilling their shakes (α=5%).
    Ho: μ=625mL    Ha: μ<625 mL p≈0,  z ≈-6.5727,     p≤∝    Reject Ho, there is evidence to suggest that the shakes are underfilled.
  • Final exam scores are normally distributed with μ = 75 points and σ = 15 points. What is the probability that a randomly selected student will score between 93 and 100 points? Round to the nearest percent.
