Question
A gambler complained about the dice. They seemed to be loaded! The dice were taken off the table and tested one at a time. One die was rolled 300 times and the following frequencies were recorded.
Outcome | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
Observed frequency O | 63 | 47 | 60 | 36 | 49 | 45 |
Do these data indicate that the die is unbalanced? Use a 1% level of significance. Hint: If the die is balanced, all outcomes should have the same expected frequency.
(a) What is the level of significance?

- The following frequency table summarizes how many animals are surrendered to a local animal shelter daily. Dogs 6 Cats 13 Rabbits 4 Birds 2 Using experimental probability, what is the probability that a cat will be surrendered tomorrow?

Did you know that it is possible to use the cricket as a thermometer? Crickets tend to chirp more frequently as temperatures increase. This phenomenon was studied in detail by George W. Pierce, a physics professor at Harvard. In the following data, x is a random variable representing chirps per second and y is a random variable representing temperature (°F). x 19.8 15.3 20.4 18.1 16.2 15.5 14.7 17.1 y 89.4 73.2 95.3 86.1 78.8 75.2 69.7 82.0 x 15.4 16.2 15.0 17.2 16.0 17.0 14.4 y 69.4 83.3 79.6 82.6 80.6 83.5 76.3 (b) Verify the given sums Σx, Σy, Σx2, Σy2, Σxy, and the value of the sample correlation coefficient r.

- 3. For each experiment, fill in the blank with the letter for the probability histogram that corresponds to the quantity indicated. Experiment 1: A gambling game has a 30% chance of winning $2 and a 70% chance of losing $1. We play the game 100 times and keep track of the net amount won or lost. Experiment 2: We flip a coin 40 times and keep track of the number of heads. 0.08 90'0 0.12 0.08 0.04 000 0 0 20 10 40 20 60 8 80 30 (a) 100 (c) (e) 40 0.00 0.012 0.008 1000 0000 -100 -50 -100 -50 0 0 50 T 50 (b) 100 150 200 30 (d) (f) 100 150 200arrow_forward1.

- A researcher wanted to study the commuting habits of community college students and faculty. He wanted to compare their mode of transportation to the college. He asked if they walk, bike, or drive to campus. The following table represents the data that was collected. Walks to campus Bikes to campus Drives to campus Total Students 70 22 78 170 Faculty 5 4 23 32 Total 75 26 101 202 A. Find the probability that a randomly selected member of faculty walks to campus. B. If you are randomly selecting a person from those who bike to campus, what is the probability that you will select a student. C. Perform a Test of Independence to determine if commuting habits are dependent on being a student or a faculty.arrow_forwardThe following frequency table summarizes how many animals are surrendered to a local animal shelter daily.
