Transcribed Image Text:A pizza restaurant has requests from six customers. Three of these customers
have ordered margarita pizza, two other customers have ordered pepperoni
pizza, and one more customer ordered a chicken pizza. For a specific reason,
the pizza restaurant can only take 2 of these orders. These two orders will be
randomly selected from the other six.
A. What is the sample space for the chance experiment of selecting two
orders at random?
B. Are the outcomes in the sample space equally likely? Why?
C. What is the probability that both selected orders are pepperoni pizza? .
D. What is the probability that both orders are margarita pizza:
E. What is the probability that at least one of the orders selected is a
pepperoni pizza: .
F. What is the probability that the selected orders have different pizzas: -
G. What is the probability that the selected orders have no chicken pizza?

- Consider the experiment of drawing a single card from a standard deck of 52 cards and determine which are uniform sample spaces, that is, sample spaces with equally likely outcomes. a. (face card, not face card} b. (club, diamond, heart, spade} c. (black, red) d. {king, queen, jack, ace, even-numbered card, odd-numbered card) a. Choose the correct answer below. O A. {face card, not face card) is not a uniform sample space because a geometric probability model should be used. O B. {face card, not face card) is a uniform sample space because this sample space has equally likely outcomes. O C. {face card, not face card) is not a uniform sample space because this sample space does not have equally likely outcomes. O D. {face card, not face card} is a uniform sample space because this sample space is drawing from a deck of cards. b.

There are 210 people who snore participating in the experiment. Using a table of random digits starting from the first row and column, the researcher will randomly place the participants into three equally sized treatment groups suitable for comparison. Which number range would be needed to label the subjects correctly? O 0-2 O 1-3 O 000-210 O 001-210arrow_forward
- Students at a large university have four places to get lunch: the cafeteria, the hut, the taco wagon, or the pizza place. An article in the school newsletter states that 70% of students prefer to get lunch in the cafeteria and the other three options are preferred equally. To investigate this claim, a random sample of 150 students is selected. Are the conditions for inference met?arrow_forwardA sports arena has three entrances (E1, E2, E3) and four different exits (X1, X2, X3, X4). As spectators come in, they enter through a random entrance E1,E2, or E3 and then exit through a random exit (X1,X2, X3, or X4). a. Create the sample space for this experiment listing all possible entrances and exits a spectator may use. Hint, how many outcomes are there? b. What is the probability a spectator enters from E3 and exits from X4? c. What is the probability a spectator does not enter from E1?arrow_forwardGive the sample space for a chance experiment with four possible outcomes.
