If you randomly pick 4 students, what is the probability that they all do not like plain milk tea?

Round your decimal answer to four places past the decimal point.

Question 15
15.

True or False:
The answer we found in #33 makes us believe having 4 students that do not prefer plain milk tea is a likely event.

and the remainder prefer plain milk tea.

If you randomly pick 5 students, what is the probability that at least one student prefers chocolate milk tea?
Hint: 'at least one of the 5' makes you think about using the complement of 'none of the 5'
first find P(none of the 5 like chocolate milk tea)
then find P(at least one of the 5 likes chocolate milk tea)

Round your decimal answer to four places past the decimal point.

Question 17

Question 18
18.

A friend comments that the chances he will get married someday are so low that the probability of this happening is -25%.
Comment on his claim based on discussions in class about probability.

Question 19
19.

BONUS
A survey showed that 42% of households in a town have an SUV and 38% a sedan.
Is it reasonable to use the Addition Rule to predict that 42% + 38% = 80% of the town’s households have an SUV or a sedan?
Why or why not? (what is the Statistical term you should think about?)
Explain clearly for full credit.
Make sure to use the terms Mutually Exclusive and Independent as appropriate.

Question 20
20.

BONUS
A survey showed that 82% of households in a town have a garage and 38% a pool.
Is it reasonable to use the Multiplication Rule to predict that 0.82 x 0.38 = 0.3116, a 31.16% chance that
pne randomly chosen homes have a pool and a garage?
Why or why not? (what is the Statistical term you should think about?)
Explain clearly for full credit.
Make sure to use the terms Mutually exclusive and/or Independent as appropriate.
