Question

Transcribed Image Text:Three dice are dropped at random into a frame where they sit snugly in a row (see the figure). We wish to model this experiment using a sample space,
(S, P).
a. How many outcomes are
in S if we think of the dice as being identical?
b. How many outcomes are in
S if we think of the dice as being distinct (e.g., each of the three dice is a different color).

- Describe matched-pair design experiments. Which of these statements best describes a matched-pair design? a.) A design in which an entire sample is divided into pairs, and then the pairs are matched together at random. b.) A design in which the total population is randomly divided into groups of equal size and a treatment is assigned to each group. c.) A design in which only two treatments are tested on pairs of similar subjects. d.) A design in which the total population is divided into homogeneous blocks and a treatment is assigned to every element of the block.arrow_forwardQ40 ABCDEarrow_forwardA coin is flipped once.
