Question
Hi, I got stuck in this problem. Firstly, I will provide the problem and a solution of someone else but it can be wrong. If it is wrong please show and explain (in few words what you do in the steps you did to solve it). If the answer I provided is correct, explain 3 things: 1) How did that person deduce the

Transcribed Image Text:Imagine you have a game where you put colored coins into one of three slots. You can stack the coins
two high in each slot. Each of the 6 positions has a unique color assignment and a corresponding
colored coin. The picture below will help to visualize this game.
OOO
If the coins are selected at random and placed into a random open slot, answer the following:
1. What is the probability that at least half the coins match color?
Include any and all work you do for this question. If needed state any assumptions you make to help
solve this problem.

- How do I solve the problem from the image below?arrow_forwardChase is the general manager for a business. One of Chase's tasks is to assign extra projects to his employees. These extra projects are supposed to be assigned following a particular order. The extra projects result in additional pay, so the employees are concerned that the extra projects are assigned following the proper procedure. Errors do happen though. Chase makes an error once every 54 tasks that he assigns. If Chase were to assign 10 tasks, what is the probability that he would make 3 or more mistakes? .000023 (Round your answer to six decimal places.) When Chase was supposed to assign 10 tasks to Kendra, he DID make 3 mistakes. Was Kendra treated fairly? yes or no What conclusions could you make about the three mistakes? Make sure to explain your conclusion thoroughly.arrow_forwardSuppose I give you a list of 21 problems to study, from which I will randomly pick 14 questions for an exam. For whatever reason, you prepare for this exam by completing and understanding how to solve 12 questions of the 21, so there are 9 questions you do not know how to solve.

- Please solve the attached problemarrow_forwardYou are to submit 2 real life examples of statistical statements and state if they are biased or unbiased Example: A toothpaste advertisement states that 3 or 4 people prefer their product. This could be a biased survey, one that is not based on a random sample. They could have asked exactly 4 people about their product. An unbiased sample accurately represents the population. Each member of the population is equally to be chosen Example: A person wants to find out how many people prefer chocolate of vanilla ice cream. To get an unbiased sample, she would pick out a few of the ice cream shops in her town and survey people leaving the establishment.arrow_forwardSuppose I give you a list of 20 problems to study, from which I will randomly pick 12 questions for an exam.
