Question 4

Veronique has a spinner with three sections of equal size, red (r), green (g), and blue (b).The spinner is spun twice. The sample space for the possible outcomes is S = {rr, rb, rg, gr, gg, gb, br, bg, bb}. If the number of times red is spun is the random variable, X, which graph represents the probability distribution?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

A probability distribution has number of times on the x-axis and probability on the y-axis. The probability of 0 times is 0.43; 1 time is 0.43; 2 times is 0.1.

Question 7

Kavita has been assigned the task of studying the average customer receipt for a branch of a major restaurant chain. The average receipt for the chain is $72.00 with a standard deviation of $11.00. The branch she is studying has an average bill of $67.00 for the last 40 receipts. She needs to know if this falls below the chain’s average. She will use a 1% level for significance because she does not want to inadvertently report the restaurants income as below average.Upper-Tail Valuesa5%2.5%1%Critical z-values1.651.962.58Which choice depicts the result for Kavita’s hypothesis test?
