Question
Consider a square board 3' x 3' (or picture
frame) hung on a wall. The board is
subdivided into 9 squares with equal size
(1' x 1'). A child throws a gooey blob at the
board that cleanly lands in one of the 9 squares
with equal likelihood. If the squares are
numbered 1 to 9,
(a) Find the prob that the blob lands in square
#1.
(b) Find the prob that the blob lands in one of
the squares numbered 1 to 5, inclusive.

- Question B i and iiarrow_forwardWe would like to know what is the probability that a standard 2.5-inch toothpick will fall on a line when the lines are parallel. In 1777, Buffon showed that the probability is p = 2/pie (squiggly equal sign) 0.636619 when the lines are also 2.5 inches apart. 1. Suppose we don't believe Buffon's proof. That is, we think that the probability of landing on the line is most definitely not p = 2/ pie. State the hypotheses for our research claim.arrow_forwardYou roll an 8-sided die. Let A = {4, 5, 7, 8} and B = {1, 3, 6, 7}. Find the following. S = { A' = B' = P(A') = P(B') = n(A' AND B) = n(A OR B') = P(A OR B') = Ρ(A' AND Β) - P(A | B') = %3D P(A' | B) = %3Darrow_forward
- If you flip a coin, there is a 1/2 chance you will receive a heads. If you flip a coin twice, you have to use the product rule to multiply each independent flip to find out what the odds of getting two heads in a row. (1/2 x 1/2=1/4.) By this rule, the odds of flipping a coin 13 times in a row twice and getting the exact same thing both times are 213. Mathematically, what are the chances that any two frog siblings will receive exactly the same complement of chromosomes due to random independent assortment (not counting random genetic recombination) Remember to add together the odds for both egg and sperm. What is this number for a human zygote? What does this tell you about the odds of being identical to one of your siblings, even without taking into account recombination (and not counting identical twins)?arrow_forwardHelp plsarrow_forwardIn tests of stopping distances for automobiles, those automobiles traveling at 30 miles per hour before the brakes are applied tend to travel distances that appear to be uniformly distributed between two points a and b. Suppose three automobiles are used in a test. Find the probability that exactly one of the three travels past the midpoint between a and b.arrow_forward

P(NEG|D) = (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to four decimal places as needed.) c. Is P(D|NEG) equal to P(NEG|D)? A. No, because P(NEG|D) deals with a much smaller pool of fetuses than P(D|NEG). B. Yes, because P(NEG|D) deals with a much smaller pool of fetuses than P(D|NEG). C.
