Economists theorize that the recent recession has affected men more than women because men are typically employed in industries that have been hit hardest by the recession. Women, on the other hand, are typically employed in services which are considered more recession resistant. A sample of
165
men and a sample of
140
women were drawn. In those samples,
20
men were unemployed, and
13
of the women were unemployed. Complete parts a and b below.

(Devore: Section 3.2 #15) Many manufacturers have quality control programs that include inspec-
tion of incoming materials for defects. Suppose a computer manufacturer receives circuit boards in
batches of five. Two boards are selected from each batch of inspection. We can represent possible
outcomes of the selection process by pairs. For example, the pair (1,2) represents the selection of
boards 1 and 2 for inspection.
(a) List the ten different possible outcomes.
(b) Suppose that boards 1 and 2 are the only defective boards in a batch. Two boards are to
be chosen at random. Define X to be the number of defective boards observed among those
inspected. Find the probability distribution (pmf) of X.
(c) Let F denote the cdf of X. Determine F(0), F(1) and F(2); then obtain F(x) for all other x.

In Exercise 27 of the Review Exercisesfor Part III, we posed this question:You play a game that involves rolling a die.

What might be a good strategy for agame like this?You attempted to devise a good strategy by simulating several plays to see what might happen. Let’s try calcu-lating a strategy. a) On what roll would you expect to get a 6 for the firsttime?b) So, roll one time less than that.
