Use the following information to answer the next eight exercises: The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA collected data from203,967incoming first-time, full-time freshmen from 270four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. 71.3%of those students replied that, yes, they believe that same-sex couples should have the right to legal marital status. Suppose that you randomly pick eight first-time, full-time freshmen from the survey. You are interested in the number that believes that same sex-couples should have the right to legal marital status.

The binomial distribution isX~B(8,0.713).

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Full time freshmen from 270four-year colleges.

Number of students replied is 71.3%.

Randomly selected full time freshmen in survey is8.

02

Explanation 

In binomial distribution Xvariables have,

Number of trials =8

Possibility of success=0.713

So,

X~B(T,P)

X~B(8,0.713)

There are two similar games played for Chinese New Year and Vietnamese New Year. In the Chinese version, fair dice with numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are used, along with a board with those numbers. In the Vietnamese version, fair dice with pictures of a gourd, fish, rooster, crab, crayfish, and deer are used. The board has those six objects on it, also. We will play with bets being 1.Theplayerplacesabetonanumberorobject.Theโ€œhouseโ€rollsthreedice.Ifnoneofthediceshowthenumberorobjectthatwasbet,thehousekeepsthe1 bet. If one of the dice shows the number or object bet (and the other two do not show it), the player gets back his or her 1bet,plus1 profit. If two of the dice show the number or object bet (and the third die does not show it), the player gets back his or her 1bet,plus2 profit. If all three dice show the number or object bet, the player gets back his or her 1bet,plus3 profit. Let X = number of matches and Y = profit per game.
