Hannah and Claire each have a chicken coop with 6 hens. Let H represent the total number of eggs the hens lay on a randomly chosen day in Hannah’s coop and let C represent the total number of eggs the hens lay on a randomly chosen day in Claire’s coop. The two distributions are displayed in the table and histograms.

Question illustration
A
The standard deviation for Hannah’s eggs is 1.4, and the standard deviation for Claire’s eggs is 1.6.
B
The standard deviation of the number of eggs laid by Claire’s hens is greater than the standard deviation of the number of eggs laid by Hannah’s hens.
C
The standard deviation of the number of eggs laid by Claire’s hens is less than the standard deviation of the number of eggs laid by Hannah’s hens.
D
The standard deviation of the number of eggs laid by Hannah’s hens is about the same as the standard deviation of the number of eggs laid by Hannah’s hens

A professional basketball player typically attempts 8 free throws per game. Let X represent the number of free throws made out of 8. The distribution for X is shown in the table.Which is the correct interpretation of the standard deviation?

Question illustration
A
If many, many free throws are attempted, the expected number made would be 4.8 free throws.
B
The number of free throws made out of 8 typically varies from the expected value by 1.4 free throws.
C
The mean number of free throws made typically varies from the expected number of free throws made by 1.4 free throws.
D
The number of free throws made out of 8 typically varies from the expected number of free throws made by 1.96 free throws.

Ten membersThree juniors and seven seniors from the science club qualify for a national competition, but only five people per school can attend the event. The coach decides to put the 10 members’ names on identical slips of paper, put the slips in a hat, and pull out five names, one at a time. Those five students will go to the national competition. Let X represent the number of juniors selected to attend the competition.Have the conditions for a binomial setting been met for this scenario?

A
Yes, all four conditions in BINS have been met.
B
No, we do not know how many people overall will go to the national competition.
C
No, there is no way to find out the probability of choosing just one student to attend.
D
No, the names were pulled and not replaced in the hat, so the independence condition is not met.

A racecar driver has a 0.05 probability of winning any given race in a season. There are 16 races in a season, and whether or not the driver wins one race is independent of whether he wins any other race. Let X represent the number of races the driver wins in the season.Have the conditions for a binomial setting been met for this scenario?

A
No, a sample size of 16 races is too small.
B
Yes, all four conditions in BINS have been met.
C
No, the probability of winning is too small for a binomial setting.
D
Yes, but they will only have been met if the racecar driver improves the probability of winning a race as the season progresses.
