P(pink)=

A company is testing a newly developed coin to be used in the Super Bowl, they are trying to determine if the coin is fair and can be used to start the game.

Estimate the probability that a flip of the coin will give heads. __________

Explain your reasoning.

What Statistical law is being illustrated in the previous question?

The coach of the football team needs to choose a kicker for a critical field goal in the championship game. These are his choices and strategies.

1. Choose Lonnie because he missed his last five shots over the last several games. He’s due to make this field goal.

2. Choose Ronnie because he has made his last three kicks earlier in the game so he’s “on a roll” tonight.

3. Choose Donnie because he has the highest overall season percentage of making field goals.

Based on your understanding of probability, which is the best strategy _____ and why?

Answer both questions for full credit.

Who should he choose and why.

Suppose we select one of the eggs at random.

Define event C as cold water, event H= hot water, event N= neutral water, and events hatched or not hatched.

If we randomly select an egg, find P(didn't hatch):

Hint: (you will use the totals/marginal distribution)

Suppose we select one of the eggs at random.

Define event C as cold water, event H= hot water, event N= neutral water, and events hatched or not hatched.

If we randomly select an egg, find the probability that the egg didn't hatch given that it was in cold temperature: P(didn't hatch|Cold)=

Hint: (double check the total you will use)

Enter your answer as a decimal rounded to three places or percent, if it is a percent make sure to use %.

Compare the probabilities in #10-12, are nest temperature and hatched status independent?

Check all that apply, choose three answers.

A recent census at a major university revealed that:

65% of its students used Macintosh computers (Macs) in total.

80% of its students used PCs in total.

In the census, 52% used both types of computers.

Using the information, fill in the Venn Diagram in the 'show your work' area using a textbox.

This information will be helpful for the following questions, so when you are finished please ask me to check it.

Are using a Mac and/or a PC mutually exclusive?

How do you know?
