Question
Consider the sample space given below.
A die is a cube with six sides on which each side contains one to six dots. Suppose a blue die and a gray die are rolled together, and the numbers of dots that occur face up on each are recorded. The possible outcomes of the sample space S are listed as follows, where in each case the die on the left is blue and the one on the right is gray.
S | = | {11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, |
41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66} |
Let E be the event that the sum of the numbers showing face up is 8. Write E as a set. (Enter your answer in set-roster notation. Enter EMPTY or ∅ for the empty set.)

- A manufacturing company that produces laminate for countertops is interested in studying the relationship between the number of hours of training that an employee receives and the number of defects per countertop produced. Ten employees are randomly selected. The number of hours of training each employee has received is recorded and the number of defects on the most recent countertop produced is determined. The results are as follows. Hours of Training Defects per Countertop 1 5 4 1 7 0 3 3 2 5 2 4 5 1 5 2 1 8 6 2 Copy Data The estimated regression line and the standard error are given.

The data are summarized in the following table. Country U.K. U.S. Fly 54 45 Freeze time 52 44 Invisibility 30 37 Superpower 20 23 Superstrength Telepathy 44 66 a.

For each of the following statements, specify whether the statement is a correct interpretation of the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of Gastown residents living below the poverty line. A. 19.51% (24/123) of Gastown residents are living below the poverty line. ? + B. There is a 95% probability that the true proportion of Gastown residents who are living below the poverty line equals 24/123. ? + C.
