A realtor has 25 similar properties to sell. Each month, the number she sells is binomially distributed with parameters n=number remaining to be sold and p=0.05. Let N be the number of months it takes to sell all 25 properties. By convention, let N=101 if at least one property is still not sold after 100 months. After running a simulation with at least 5,000 replications, what is the most realistic conclusion about N? a. The probability that N is greater than 40 is around 0.89. b. The probability that N equals 101 is around 0.14. c. The probability that N is greater than 50 is around 0.77. d. The probability that N is less than 75 is around 0.69.

SWIMMER’S FLEXIBILITY STUDY Swimming requires complete body movement as defined in sports science. A swimmer’s flexibility helps in his/her movement in water, thus making him/her a faster swimmer. In a study conducted to determine if there is an improvement in swim speed after doing flexibility exercise, 15 swimmers of the same characteristics were randomly selected. They were asked to do a 25-m freestyle and their swim speed (in seconds) were recorded. After this, a flexibility exercise was done. All the swimmers were then asked to do another 25-m freestyle and their swim speed (in seconds) were also recorded. The data collected are given below and can also be found in the worksheet “swim_speed”of excel file “exer3_data.xlsx”. R outputs can be found in the file “exer3_outputs.pdf”.(Use before – after in your computations Swimmer 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Before 16.87 19.42 20.04 22.82 24.24 17.76 23.91 17.17 After 15.82 18.47 20.43 21.76 23.88 18.12 20.96 16.03 Swimmer 9 10 11 12…

Use the following scenario to answer the next 6 questions: M&Ms are your favorite vending machine snack and you purchase them often. Lately, it seems like the bags have been having a disproportionate distribution of the colors. The company claims that 24% of the candies per bag should be blue. You decide to test this claim for yourself. You purchase a large bag and find that 38 of the 224 candies are blue. Before complaining to the company, you want to be fairly sure of your accusation, so you set a 1% significance level for your test. Do you have sufficient evidence that the color distribution is different than advertised? Based on the data, the value of the test statistic is:

Last school year, the student body of a local university consisted of 20% freshmen, 21% sophomores, 29% juniors, and 30% seniors. A random sample of 300 students taken from this year's student body showed the following number of students in each class. Freshmen 84 Sophomores 65 Juniors 86 Seniors 65 We are interested in determining whether there has been a significant change in the distribution of class between the last school year and this school year.If the distribution is the same as the previous year, the expected number of freshmen is _____. a. 84 b. 87 c. 60 d. 20

Suppose that Mary, Gary, and Larry have been asked to randomly sample 100 patients' visit records from a file of 2000 patient records and record the amount of time the attending physician spent with each patient. Gary suggests the time of year during which the patient was seen may be a confounding variable and strongly advises dividing the year into quarters (Jan - Mar, Apr-Jun, Jul-Sep, Oct- Dec) and randomly selecting 25 patient records from each quarter. Which of the following best describes Gary's sampling plan? (A) A simple random sample (B) A systematic random sample (C) A stratified random sample (D) A cluster sample (E) A convenience sample
