Question
The outcome space (Ω) below represents the answers (P = passed and N = not
passed) from 3 different students who were asked randomly whether they believe
they passed their ECON41 midterm or not shortly after taking it. Assume that each
student has a 50% chance of passing and that they are all independent. Let X be the
random variable indicating the number of students that passed the exam among the
3 asked: Ω = {(PPP),(NNN),(PNP),(NPP),(PPN),(NPN),(NNP),(PNN)}
Find P(X = 2|X ≥ 1)
(a) 3/8
(b) 3/ 7
(c) 7/8
(d) 4/ 7
(e) None of the above

A sampleof 9 volunteers was obtained and each participant ate afixed diet without any oatmeal for 30 days. At the endof the 30-day period, cholesterol was measured foreach individual. Then the participants began a second30-day period in which they repeated exactly the samediet except that they added 2 cups of oatmeal eachday. After the second 30-day period, cholesterol levelswere measured again and the researcher recorded thedifference between the two scores for each participant.For this sample, cholesterol scores averaged MD=16points lower with the oatmeal diet with SS=538 forthe difference scores. Are the data sufficient to indicate a significant change in cholesterol level? Use a two-tailed test with a= .01.

The number of accidents per day is recorded for both the day and evening shifts for n = 100 days. It is found that the number of accidents per day for the evening shift XE exceeded the corresponding number of accidents on the day shift xp on 63 of the 100 days. Do these results provide sufficient evidence to indicate that more accidents tend to occur on one shift than on the other or, equivalently, that P(XE > XD) # 1/2?arrow_forwardA sample of 323 urban adult residents of a particular state revealed 65 who favored increasing the highway speed limit from 55 to 65 mph, whereas a sample of 177 rural residents yielded 75 who favored the increase.
