Jaxon remembers that the passcode contains the digits 1, 2, 3 and 4, but he cannot recall their order. If Jaxon randomly enters these four digits, what is the chance that he will enter the correct code?

Certain app allows you to order from different types of cuisine. According with the app's records 23% of the orders are to an American food restaurant, 38% to an Asian food restaurant, 17% to a Mexican food restaurant, 6% to a Dessert place, and the rest are to other types of restaurants.

A large retail lawn care dealer currently provides a 2-year warranty on all lawn mowers sold at its stores. A new employee suggested that the dealer could save money by just not offering the warranty. To evaluate this suggestion, the dealer randomly decides whether or not to offer the warranty to the next 50 customers who enter the store and express an interest in purchasing a lawnmower. Out of the 25 customers offered the warranty, 10 purchased a mower as compared to 4 of 25 not offered the warranty. a. Place a 95% confidence interval on 7₁ - 72, the difference in the proportions of customers purchasing lawnmowers with and without the warranty. b. Test the research hypothesis that offering the warranty will increase the propor- tion of customers who will purchase a mower. Use a = .05. c. Are the conditions for using a large-sample test to answer the question in part (b) satisfied? If not, apply an exact procedure,
In a certain city, with a population of 1,000,000 people, 17 people have been infected with a disease. Five of these people are superspreaders. Superspreaders do not get sick, but will always be infected. Out of the remaining infected people, 50% do not get sick, and do not isolate, but will spread the disease for a week and then will no longer be infected. 35% will self-isolate and get better. The remaining 15% get sick and are admitted to hospital. Within a week, a superspreader will infect 0.1% of the population. A spreader is only infected for a week but will infect 0.01% of the population. Everyone in self-isolation will recover within a week. 50% of people in hospital will die, while the other 50% make a full recovery. a) Following this trend, what happens to the population over time?
I have a cup with 5 red M&Ms, 4 yellow, and 3 green ones. I draw six at random (without replacement, order does not matter).How many ways are there to draw six at random which give two of each color? For this problem, it can help to imagine that the M&Ms are numbered 1 - 12, with number 1-5 red, 6-9 yellow, and 10-12 green. After that, proceed like we did with Poker hands.

If it was heads shc uscd namc-brand batteries and if it was tails she used the generic brand. She left the flashlights on and recorded how long it took for the batterics to wear out. The results showed that the flashlights that had the name-brand batteries, on average, lasted significantly longer than the flashlights that used the generic brand. What type of design is this study? a. This study is an example of a simple random sample. b. This study is an example of a matched pairs experiment. This study is an example of a completely randomized experiment. This study is an example of an obscrvational study. c. d.
You have worked for the Department of Administrative Affairs (DAA) for 27 years, and you still have little or no idea exactly what your job entails. To make your life a little more interesting, you have decided on the following course of action. Every Friday afternoon, you will use your desktop computer to generate a random digit from 0 to 4 (inclusive). If the digit is a zero, you will immediately quit your job, never to return. Otherwise, you will return to work the following Monday. (a) Use the states (1) employed by the DAA and (2) not employed by the DAA to set up the transition matrix P for the system with decimal entries. Calculate P2. Calculate P3. (b) What is the probability that you will still be employed by the DAA after each of the next three weeks? one week two weeks three weeks (c) What are your long-term prospects for employment at the DAA? a. Eventually, you will quit your job. b. You…

Each of the numbers 0 - 9 is written on a sheet of paper and the ten sheets of paper are placed in a box If two of these sheets of paper are selected from the box at random, without replacement, find the probability that both numbers are greater than 7.
A player pays a certain amount of money to randomly roll a 6-sided and a 4-sided die, both balanced. If the sum of the dice is less than 5 or greater than 9, the player receives a prize of $ 90. Otherwise he loses the money paid to play, in dollars and cents, to keep this game fair. Write only the number corresponding to the prize without a dollar sign and rounded to 2 decimal places.
A person, Joe, claims to be able to "smell" an illness based on the odor of a person's clothing. Joe is given 12 shirts, each worn by a different person, some of whom had the illness and some of whom did not. The shirts were given to Joe in random order and he had to decide whether each shirt had been worn by an ill patient or by a healthy patient. joe identified 11 of the 12 shirts correctly. If we assume that Joe was just guessing, he would have probability 1/2 of correctly identifying each shirt. Find the probability that Joe would identify AT LEAST 11 shirts correctly by random guessing

Two players play a game with the following rules: Player 1 puts on a blindfold while player two throws a die. The number that he gets is put aside as the "Target value". Then player two throws another die three times while giving player 1 information on weather he gets a lesser number than the target, equal to the target or greater than the target. Imagine that you are player one and you are handed the information that player two got [Lesser, equal, greater]. Deduce the probabilities of each possible target given the information.
