Suppose that you watch the game show over many years and find that door #1 hides the car 50% of the time, door #2 has the car 40% of the time, and door #3 has the car 10% of the time. What then is your optimal strategy? In other words, which door should you pick initially, and then should you stay or switch? What is your probability of winning with the optimal strategy? Explain.

- Professor Fair believes that extra time does not improve grades on exams. He randomly divided a group of 300 students into two groups and gave them all the same test. One group had exactly 1 hour in which to finish the test, and the other group could stay as long as desired. The results are shown in the following table. Test at the 0.01 level of significance that time to complete a test and test results are independent.
