A committee is to consist of a chair, four hagglers, and five do-nothings. The committee is formed by choosing randomly from a pool of 12 people and assigning them to the various "jobs." (a) How many different committees are possible? HINT [See Example 5.] 83160 committees (b) Norman is eager to be the chair of the committee. What is the probability that he will get his wish? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 1/12 (c) Norman's girlfriend Norma is less ambitious and would be happy to hold any position on the committee provided that Norman is also selected as a committee member. What is the probability that she will get her wish and serve on the committee? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) (d) Norma does not get along with Oona (who is also in the pool of prospective members) and would be most unhappy if Oona were to chair the committee. Find the probability that all Norma's wishes will be fulfilled: She and Norman are on the committee, and it is not chaired by Oona. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

The amount of contaminants that are allowed in food products is determined by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Common contaminants in cow milk include feces, blood, hormones, and antibiotics. Suppose you work for the FDA and are told that the current amount of somatic cells (common name "pus") in 1 cc of cow milk is currently 750,000 (note: this is the actual allowed amount in the US!). You are also told the standard deviation is 62000 cells. The FDA then tasks you with checking to see if this is accurate. You collect a random sample of 45 specimens (1 cc each) which results in a sample mean of 762004 pus cells. Use this sample data to create a sampling distribution. Assume that the population mean is equal to the FDA's legal limit and see what the probability is for getting your random sample. a. Why is the sampling distribution approximately normal? b. What is the mean of the sampling distribution? c. What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution? d. Assuming…

A researcher believed that the number of rental cars in service by a car rental company would have an impact on the total annual revenue for that car rental company. Five small car rental companies were surveyed, with the number of Cars in service recorded in units of 1000 (so if a car rental company had 54000 cars in service, a 54 would be recorded) and Annual Revenue measured in millions of dollars (so an Annual Revenue of $10,000,000 would be recorded as 10). The data follows: Cars (1,000s) Annual Revenue ($ millions)11.5 118 10.0 135 9.0 100 5.5 37 3.3 32 Part of the Excel-generated Simple Linear Regression output is provided below: ANOVA df SS MS F Significance F Regression 1 7891.863897 7891.863897 22.91180151 0.017339231 Residual 3 1033.336103 344.4453677 Total 4 8925.2 Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-value Intercept -19.12490108 23.1658578…

There was a box of biscuits on the table. Arianne and Betty ate half of the biscuits. Then Charlie came along and noticed the biscuits. He ate one-third of what was left in the box. Diana, who was waiting around nearby, decided to take one-fourth of the biscuits left in the box. Then Eddie came rushing up and took one biscuit to munch on while watching TV. When Fe looked at the box, she saw there were two biscuits left. How many biscuits were in the box to begin with.
