Chapter 2.5, Problem 27E
In Exercise 2.12 we considered a situation where cars entering an intersection each could turn right, turn left, or go straight. An experiment consists of observing two vehicles moving through the intersection.
- a How many sample points are there in the sample space? List them.
- b Assuming that all sample points are equally likely, what is the
probability that at least one car turns left? - c Again assuming equally likely sample points, what is the probability that at most one vehicle turns?
2.12 A vehicle arriving at an intersection can turn right, turn left, or continue straight ahead. The experiment consists of observing the movement of a single vehicle through the intersection.
- a List the sample space for this experiment.
- b Assuming that all sample points are equally likely, find the probability that the vehicle turns.

(a) Find a 99% confidence interval for the difference in mean blood cholesterol levels dogs brought to the clinic (P) and dogs owned by the clinic (C).(Round your answers to 4 decimal places, if needed.)
( , )
b) Based on this confidence interval, can we conclude there is some differences in mean blood cholesterol levels between the two groups?
Yes, since the interval is completely above 0.
No, since the interval is completely above 0.
Yes, since the interval contains 0.

- Your investment advisor proposes a monthly income investment scheme which promises a variable income each month. You will invest in it only if you are assured an average monthly income of at least 780 dollars. Your advisor also tells you that, for the past 41 months, the scheme had incomes with an average value of 816 dollars and a standard deviation of 92 dollars.(a) Create a 95% confidence interval for the average monthly income of this scheme. (Round your answers to 4 decimal places, if needed.)arrow_forwardA game at the local annual Apple Festival has players reach into a covered tub to pull out an apple. In the tub are 10 red apples, 3 green apples, and 1 yellow apple. Let R be the event of drawing a red apple, G be the event of drawing a green apple, and Y be the event of drawing a yellow apple. If a player draws a green apple, then the player has the choice of taking a $2 prize or (leaving the green apple out) reaching back into the tub for a chance to draw the yellow apple (which gives a prize of $20). There is no prize for drawing a red apple. First, find P(Rc). What does this mean regarding winning a prize on the first draw? Then, if on the first draw Deion pulls out a green apple, then decides to make a second draw instead of taking the $2 prize, what is the probability Deion will win at least $2?arrow_forwardThe table describes the distribution of a random sample S of 200 individuals, arranged by education level and income.
