Transcribed Image Text:Caden rolls two fair number cubes numbered from 1 to 6. He first defines the sample space, as shown below:
(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)
(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)
(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)
(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6)
(5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6)
(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)
Based on the sample space, what is the probability of getting a total of 6?

- 2. In a population it is estimated that 20% have a desired trait of interest for the researcher. The researcher wants to know how many people on average he has to draw from a population to get 2 people with the trait. Use rows 20-24 of the Random Number Table to carry out the simulation. Explain clearly how you set up the problem and report your findings. Answer:arrow_forwardWhen planning a date night, you have a choice of 2 types of restaurants: pizza (P) or barbeque (B); a choice of 4 types of movies: romantic comedy (R), action/adventure (A), drama (D), or foreign film (F); and a choice of 2 types of post-movie activities: grabbing coffee (C) or getting ice cream (I). If you are choosing only one of each, list the sample space in regard to the dates (combinations of restaurants, movies, and post-movie activities) you could pick from.arrow_forward10arrow_forward
- Here is a sample of amounts of weight change (kg) of college students in their freshman year: 13, 7, -3, -5, where -5 represents a loss of 5 kg and positive values represent weight gained. Here are ten bootstrap samples: {13, 13, 13, -3), (13, -5, -3, 13}, {13, 5, 7, 3), (7, 5, 3, 13), {-3, -3, -3, 7}, {7, 5, 7, 5), (13, 7, 5, 3}, {-5, 7, 5, 7), {-5, -3, -5, 7}, {7, 13, 13, 13). Complete parts (a) and (b) below. a. Using only the ten given bootstrap samples, construct an 80% confidence interval estimate of the mean weight change for the population.
