A geologist has selected 9 specimens of basaltic rock and 10 specimens of granite rock. The geologist instructs her assistant to randomly choose 15 of these specimens for analysis. (a) Determine the pmf for X = the number of granite specimens chosen (b) What is the probability that all specimens of one of the two types are selected for analysis?

Bighorn sheep are beautiful wild animals found throughout the western United States. Let x be the age of a bighorn sheep (in years), and let y be the mortality rate (percent that die) for this age group. For example, x = 1, y = 14 means that 14% of the bighorn sheep between 1 and 2 years old died. A random sample of Arizona bighorn sheep gave the following information: x 1 2 3 4 5 y 14.2 17.7 14.4 19.6 20.0 Σx = 15; Σy = 85.9; Σx2 = 55; Σy2 = 1,506.45; Σxy = 271.2 (a) Find x, y, b, and the equation of the least-squares line.

Bighorn sheep are found in the mountainous western United States. In the following data, x = the age of bighorn sheep in years and y = the percentage of that age group that die during the course of a year (mortality rate). In the table below, when x = 5, y = 20 meaning that 20% of the sheep aged between 5 and 6 years old die. A random sample of sheep provided the following information: x 1 2 3 4 5 y 14 18.9 14.4 19.6 20 ∑ x = 15 ; ∑ y = 86.9 ; ∑ x 2 = 55 ; ∑ y 2 = 1544.73 ; ∑ x y = 273.4 Find Sxx
Thomas wants to compare the mean concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) on residential versus commercial streets, since these differ in terms of car traffic. In each of three neighborhoods of Montréal (named A, B, and C below), he randomly chooses four locations for each type of street, for a total of 24 observations (2 street types x 3 neighborhoods x 4 locations). At each location, he measures CO concentration in the air over a period of 10 hours (8:00 AM-6:00 PM), and obtains the following data (in ppm/h). Question: Test whether or not the difference between residential and commercial streets in mean atmospheric CO concentration is the same among the three neighborhoods, and whether or not CO concentration in the air is the same, on average, for the two types of streets. Note that Neighborhood is considered a random block factor in the ANOVA. Use significant level= 0.05.

A professor wanted to study whether there was an association between a person's age and their likelihood to use social media. He surveyed members of Gen Z, Millennials, and Gen X. Below you will find the data that was collected: YES, use social media NO, do not use social media H₂: a=0.05 DF=_ Gen Z 78 11 a. Perform a Chi-Square Test for Association to see if there is evidence to show there is an association between age and likelihood to use social media? Ho: Conclusion: b. Fill in the blanks using your table: X²= Circle one: Millennials 124 19 Number of Gen Z that use social media= Total number of Gen Z surveyed = Gen X 79 24 P-value= Fail to Reject H. OR Reject Ho c.
