1. (10 points) Once upon a time, I had a fast-food lunch with a mathematician colleague.
I
noticed a very strange behavior in him. I called it the Au-Burger Syndrome since it was
discovered by me at a burger joint. Based on my unscientific survey, it is a rare but real
malady
inflicting 2% of mathematicians worldwide. Yours truly has recently discovered a
screening test
for this rare malady, and the finding has just been reported to the International
Association of
Insane Scientists (IAIS) for publication. Unfortunately, my esteemed colleagues who
reviewed
my submitted draft discovered that the reliability of this screening test is only 80%. What
it
means is that it gives a positive result, false positive, in 20% of the mathematicians tested
even
though they are not afflicted by this horribly-embarrassing malady.
I have found an unsuspecting victim, oops, I mean subject, down the street. This good old
mathematician is tested positive! What is the probability that he is actually inflicted by
this rare
disabling malady?
2. (5 points) Most of us love Luzon mangoes, but hate buying those that are picked too
early. Unfortunately, by waiting until the mangos are almost ripe to pick carries a risk of
having
15% of the picked rot upon arrival at the packing facility. If the packing process is all
done by
machines without human inspection to pick out any rotten mangos, what would be the
probability of having at most 2 rotten mangos packed in a box of 12?
3. (5 points) We have 7 boys and 3 girls in our church choir. There is an upcoming
concert in
the local town hall. Unfortunately, we can only have 5 youths in this performance. This
performance team of 5 has to be picked randomly from the crew of 7 boys and 3 girls.
a. What is the probability that all 3 girls are picked in this team of 5?
b. What is the probability that none of the girls are picked in this team of 5?
c. What is the probability that 2 of the girls are picked in this team of 5?
4. (10 points) In this economically challenging time, yours truly, CEO of the Outrageous
Products Enterprise, would like to make extra money to support his frequent filet-
mignon-anddouble-lobster-tail
dinner habit. A promising enterprise is to mass-produce tourmaline wedding
rings for brides. Based on my diligent research, I have found out that women's ring size
normally distributed with a mean of 6.0, and a standard deviation of 1.0. I am going to
order
5000 tourmaline wedding rings from my reliable Siberian source. They will manufacture
ring
size from 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, and 9.5. How many wedding
rings
should I order for each of the ring size should I order 5000 rings altogether? (Note: It is
natural to assume that if your ring size falls between two of the above standard
manufacturing
size, you will take the bigger of the two.)
5. (5 points) A soda company want to stimulate sales in this economic climate by giving
customers a chance to win a small prize for ever bottle of soda they buy. There is a 20%
chance
that a customer will find a picture of a dancing banana ( ) at the bottom of the cap upon
opening up a bottle of soda. The customer can then redeem that bottle cap with this
picture for a
small prize. Now, if I buy a 6-pack of soda, what is the probability that I will win
something,
i.e., at least winning a single small prize?
6. (5 points) When constructing a confidence interval for a population with a simple
random
sample selected from a normally distributed population with unknown σ, the Student
tdistribution
should be used. If the standard normal distribution is correctly used instead, how
would the confidence interval be affected?
7. (10 points) Below is a summary of the Quiz 1 for two sections of STAT 225 last
spring. The
questions and possible maximum scores are different in these two sections. We notice
that
Student A4 in Section A and Student B2 in Section B have the same numerical score.
Section A
Student Score
Section B
Student Score
A1 70 B1 15
A2 42 B2 61
A3 53 B3 48
A4 61 B4 90
A5 22 B5 85
A6 87 B6 73
A7 59 B7 48
----- ------ B8 39
How do these two students stand relative to their own classes? And, hence, which student
performed better? Explain your answer.
8. (5 points) My brother wants to estimate the proportion of Canadians who own their
house.
What sample size should be obtained if he wants the estimate to be within 0.02 with 90%
confidence if
a. he uses an estimate of 0.675 from the Canadian Census Bureau?
b. he does not use any prior estimates? But in solving this problem, you are actually using
a
form of "prior" estimate in the formula used. In this case, what is your "actual" prior
estimate? Please explain.
9. (5 points) An amusement park is considering the construction of an artificial cave to
attract
visitors. The proposed cave can only accommodate 36 visitors at one time. In order to
give
everyone a realistic feeling of the cave experience, the entire length of the cave would be
chosen
such that guests can barely stand upright for 98% of the all the visitors.
The mean height of American men is 70 inches with a standard deviation of 2.5 inches.
An
amusement park consultant proposed a height of the cave based on the 36-guest-at-a-time
capacity. Construction will commence very soon.
The park CEO has a second thought at the last minute, and asks yours truly if the
proposed
height is appropriate. What would be the proposed height of the amusement park
consultant? And do you think that it is a good recommendation? If not, what should be
the
appropriate height? Why?
10. (5 points) A department store manager has decided that dress code is necessary for
team
coherence. Team members are required to wear either blue shirts or red shirts. There are
9 men
and 7 women in the team. On a particular day, 5 men wore blue shirts and 4 other wore
red
shirts, whereas 4 women wore blue shirts and 3 others wore red shirt. Apply the Addition
Rule to
determine the probability of finding men or blue shirts in the team.
Please refer to the following information for Question 11 and 12.
It is an open secret that airlines overbook flights, but we have just learned that bookstores
underbook (I might have invented this new term.) textbooks in the good old days that we
had to
purchase textbooks.
To make a long story short, once upon a time, our UMUC designated virtual bookstore,
MBS
Direct, routinely, as a matter of business practice, orders less textbooks than the amount
requested by UMUC's Registrar's Office. That is what I have figured out....... Simply put,
MBS
Direct has to "eat" the books if they are not sold. Do you want to eat the books? You may
want
to cook the books before you eat them! Oops, I hope there is no account major in this
class?
OK, let us cut to the chase..... MBS Direct believes that only 85% of our registered
students
will stay registered in a class long enough to purchase the required textbook. Let's pick on
our
STAT 200 students. According to the Registrar's Office, we have 600 students enrolled in
STAT
200 this spring 2014.
11. (10 points) Suppose you are the CEO of MBS Direct, and you want to perform a
probability
analysis. What would be the number of STAT 200 textbook bundles you would order so
that
you stay below 5% probability of having to back-order from Pearson Custom Publishing?
(Note:
Our Provost would be very angry when she hears that textbook bundles have to be
backordered.
In any case, we no longer need the service of MBS Direct as we are moving to 100% to
free eResources. Auf Wiedersehen, MBS Direct......)
IMPORTANT: Yes, you may use technology for tacking Question 11 in this quiz.
12. (5 points) Is there an approximation method for Question 11? If so, please tackle
Question
11 with the approximation method.

5. At a school pep rally, a group of sophomore students organized a free raffle for prizes.
They claim that they put the names of all of the students in the school in the basket and
that they randomly drew 36 names out of this basket. Of the prize winners, 6 were
freshmen, 14 were sophomores, 9 were juniors, and 7 were seniors. The results do not
seem that random to you. You think it is a little fishy that sophomores organized the raffle
and also won the most prizes. Your school is composed of 30% freshmen, 25%
sophomores, 25% juniors, and 20% seniors.
a. What are the expected frequencies of winners from each class?
b. Conduct a significance test to determine whether the winners of the prizes were
distributed throughout the classes as would be expected based on the percentage of
students in each group. Report your Chi Square and p values.
c. What do you conclude?

Decide whether the following statements are true or false.
70. The standard deviation of the chi-square distribution is twice the mean. Use the
following information to answer the next exercise: Suppose an airline claims that its
flights are consistently on time with an average delay of at most 15 minutes. It claims that
the average delay is so consistent that the variance is no more than 150 minutes.
Doubting the consistency part of the claim, a disgruntled traveler calculates the delays for
his next 25 flights. The average delay for those 25 flights is 22 minutes with a standard
deviation of 15 minutes.

what are dfn and dfe?
17. The following data are from a hypothetical study on the effects of age and time on
scores on a test of reading comprehension. Compute the analysis of variance summary
table.
28. (AT) The dataset ADHD Treatment has four scores per subject.
Is the design between-subjects or within-subjects?
Create an ANOVA summary table.
69. A researcher wants to know if the mean times (in minutes) that people watch their
favorite news station are the same. Suppose that Table 13.24 shows the results of a study.
Assume that all distributions are normal, the four population standard deviations are
approximately the same, and the data were collected independently and randomly. Use a
level of significance of 0.05.

  • 1. STAT 200 Quiz 2 For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com 1. (10 points) Once upon a time, I had a fast-food lunch with a mathematician colleague. I noticed a very strange behavior in him. I called it the Au-Burger Syndrome since it was discovered by me at a burger joint. Based on my unscientific survey, it is a rare but real malady inflicting 2% of mathematicians worldwide. Yours truly has recently discovered a screening test for this rare malady, and the finding has just been reported to the International Association of Insane Scientists (IAIS) for publication. Unfortunately, my esteemed colleagues who reviewed my submitted draft discovered that the reliability of this screening test is only 80%. What it means is that it gives a positive result, false positive, in 20% of the mathematicians tested even though they are not afflicted by this horribly-embarrassing malady. I have found an unsuspecting victim, oops, I mean subject, down the street. This good old mathematician is tested positive! What is the probability that he is actually inflicted by this rare disabling malady? 2. (5 points) Most of us love Luzon mangoes, but hate buying those that are picked too early. Unfortunately, by waiting until the mangos are almost ripe to pick carries a risk of having 15% of the picked rot upon arrival at the packing facility. If the packing process is all done by machines without human inspection to pick out any rotten mangos, what would be the probability of having at most 2 rotten mangos packed in a box of 12? 3. (5 points) We have 7 boys and 3 girls in our church choir. There is an upcoming concert in the local town hall. Unfortunately, we can only have 5 youths in this performance. This performance team of 5 has to be picked randomly from the crew of 7 boys and 3 girls. a. What is the probability that all 3 girls are picked in this team of 5? b. What is the probability that none of the girls are picked in this team of 5?
  • 2. c. What is the probability that 2 of the girls are picked in this team of 5? 4. (10 points) In this economically challenging time, yours truly, CEO of the Outrageous Products Enterprise, would like to make extra money to support his frequent filet- mignon-anddouble-lobster-tail dinner habit. A promising enterprise is to mass-produce tourmaline wedding rings for brides. Based on my diligent research, I have found out that women's ring size normally distributed with a mean of 6.0, and a standard deviation of 1.0. I am going to order 5000 tourmaline wedding rings from my reliable Siberian source. They will manufacture ring size from 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, and 9.5. How many wedding rings should I order for each of the ring size should I order 5000 rings altogether? (Note: It is natural to assume that if your ring size falls between two of the above standard manufacturing size, you will take the bigger of the two.) 5. (5 points) A soda company want to stimulate sales in this economic climate by giving customers a chance to win a small prize for ever bottle of soda they buy. There is a 20% chance that a customer will find a picture of a dancing banana ( ) at the bottom of the cap upon opening up a bottle of soda. The customer can then redeem that bottle cap with this picture for a small prize. Now, if I buy a 6-pack of soda, what is the probability that I will win something, i.e., at least winning a single small prize? 6. (5 points) When constructing a confidence interval for a population with a simple random sample selected from a normally distributed population with unknown σ, the Student tdistribution should be used. If the standard normal distribution is correctly used instead, how would the confidence interval be affected? 7. (10 points) Below is a summary of the Quiz 1 for two sections of STAT 225 last spring. The questions and possible maximum scores are different in these two sections. We notice that Student A4 in Section A and Student B2 in Section B have the same numerical score. Section A Student Score Section B Student Score A1 70 B1 15 A2 42 B2 61 A3 53 B3 48
  • 3. A4 61 B4 90 A5 22 B5 85 A6 87 B6 73 A7 59 B7 48 ----- ------ B8 39 How do these two students stand relative to their own classes? And, hence, which student performed better? Explain your answer. 8. (5 points) My brother wants to estimate the proportion of Canadians who own their house. What sample size should be obtained if he wants the estimate to be within 0.02 with 90% confidence if a. he uses an estimate of 0.675 from the Canadian Census Bureau? b. he does not use any prior estimates? But in solving this problem, you are actually using a form of "prior" estimate in the formula used. In this case, what is your "actual" prior estimate? Please explain. 9. (5 points) An amusement park is considering the construction of an artificial cave to attract visitors. The proposed cave can only accommodate 36 visitors at one time. In order to give everyone a realistic feeling of the cave experience, the entire length of the cave would be chosen such that guests can barely stand upright for 98% of the all the visitors. The mean height of American men is 70 inches with a standard deviation of 2.5 inches. An amusement park consultant proposed a height of the cave based on the 36-guest-at-a-time capacity. Construction will commence very soon. The park CEO has a second thought at the last minute, and asks yours truly if the proposed height is appropriate. What would be the proposed height of the amusement park consultant? And do you think that it is a good recommendation? If not, what should be the appropriate height? Why? 10. (5 points) A department store manager has decided that dress code is necessary for team coherence. Team members are required to wear either blue shirts or red shirts. There are 9 men and 7 women in the team. On a particular day, 5 men wore blue shirts and 4 other wore red shirts, whereas 4 women wore blue shirts and 3 others wore red shirt. Apply the Addition Rule to determine the probability of finding men or blue shirts in the team. Please refer to the following information for Question 11 and 12.
  • 4. It is an open secret that airlines overbook flights, but we have just learned that bookstores underbook (I might have invented this new term.) textbooks in the good old days that we had to purchase textbooks. To make a long story short, once upon a time, our UMUC designated virtual bookstore, MBS Direct, routinely, as a matter of business practice, orders less textbooks than the amount requested by UMUC's Registrar's Office. That is what I have figured out....... Simply put, MBS Direct has to "eat" the books if they are not sold. Do you want to eat the books? You may want to cook the books before you eat them! Oops, I hope there is no account major in this class? OK, let us cut to the chase..... MBS Direct believes that only 85% of our registered students will stay registered in a class long enough to purchase the required textbook. Let's pick on our STAT 200 students. According to the Registrar's Office, we have 600 students enrolled in STAT 200 this spring 2014. 11. (10 points) Suppose you are the CEO of MBS Direct, and you want to perform a probability analysis. What would be the number of STAT 200 textbook bundles you would order so that you stay below 5% probability of having to back-order from Pearson Custom Publishing? (Note: Our Provost would be very angry when she hears that textbook bundles have to be backordered. In any case, we no longer need the service of MBS Direct as we are moving to 100% to free eResources. Auf Wiedersehen, MBS Direct......) IMPORTANT: Yes, you may use technology for tacking Question 11 in this quiz. 12. (5 points) Is there an approximation method for Question 11? If so, please tackle Question 11 with the approximation method. ====================================== STAT 200 Week 2 HomeWork For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com

(b) What is the probability of getting heads on at least one flip? 25. You are to participate in an exam for which you had no chance to study, and for that reason cannot do anything but guess for each question (all questions being of the multiple choice type, so the chance of guessing the correct answer for each question is 1/d, d being the number of options (distractors) per question; so in case of a 4-choice question, your guess chance is 0.25). Your instructor offers you the opportunity to choose amongst the following exam formats: I. 6 questions of the 4-choice type; you pass when 5 or more answers are correct; II. 5 questions of the 5-choice type; you pass when 4 or more answers are correct; III. 4 questions of the 10-choice type; you pass when 3 or more answers are correct. Rank the three exam formats according to their attractiveness. It should be clear that the format with the highest probability to pass is the most attractive format. Which would you choose and why? 27. A refrigerator contains 6 apples, 5 oranges, 10 bananas, 3 pears, 7 peaches, 11 plums, and 2 mangos. a. Imagine you stick your hand in this refrigerator and pull out a piece of fruit at random. What is the probability that you will pull out a pear? b. Imagine now that you put your hand in the refrigerator and pull out a piece of fruit. You decide you do not want to eat that fruit so you put it back into the refrigerator and pull out another piece of fruit. What is the probability that the first piece of fruit you pull out is a banana and the second piece you pull out is an apple? c. What is the probability that you stick your hand in the refrigerator one time and pull out a mango or an orange? 86. Roll two fair dice. Each die has six faces. a. List the sample space. b.
