Suppose this player attempts 10shots in a game and makes only 3of them. Does this provide convincing evidence that she is less than a 47%shooter?

a. Yes, because 3/10(30%) is less than 47%

b. Yes, because she never made 47%of her shots in the simulation.

c. No, because it is plausible (believable) that she would make 3or fewer shots by chance alone.

d. No, because the simulation was only repeated 25times.

e. No, because more than half of the simulated results were less than47%

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct answer is option (c) No, because it is plausible (believable) that she would make 3or fewer shots by chance alone.

Treating low bone density Fractures of the spine are common and serious

among women with advanced osteoporosis (low mineral density in the bones). Can taking

strontium ranelate help? A large medical trial was conducted to investigate this question.

Researchers recruited 1649women with osteoporosis who had previously had at least one

fracture for an experiment. The women were assigned to take either strontium ranelate or a

placebo each day. All the women were taking calcium supplements and receiving standard

medical care. One response variable was the number of new fractures over 3years.

a. Describe a completely randomized design for this experiment.

b. Explain why it is important to keep the calcium supplements and medical care the same

for all the women in the experiment.

c. The women who took strontium ranelate had statistically significantly fewer new

fractures, on average, than the women who took a placebo over a 3year period. Explain

what this means to someone who knows little statistics.

The most common bet in craps is the “pass line.” A pass line bettor wins immediately if either a 7or an11comes up on the first roll. This is called a natural. What is the probability that a natural does not occur?

a. 2/36

b.6/36

c.8/36

d. 16/36

e. 28/36

Get rich A survey of 4826 randomly selected young adults (aged 19to25) asked, “What do you think are the chances you will have much more than a middle-class income at age 30?” The two-way table summarizes the responses.

Choose a survey respondent at random. Define events G: a good chance, M: male, and N: almost no chance.

a. Find P(G|M). Interpret this value in context.

b. Given that the chosen survey respondent didn’t say “almost no chance,” what’s the probability that this person is female? Write your answer as a probability statement using correct symbols for the events.

Due to a hit A very good professional baseball player gets a hit about 35% of the time

over an entire season. After the player failed to hit safely in six straight at-bats, a TV

As one commentator said, “He is due for a hit.” Explain why the commentator is wrong.

Recycling Do most teens recycle? To find out, an AP® Statistics class asked an SRS of 100students at their school whether they regularly recycle. In the sample, 55students said that they recycle. Is this convincing evidence that more than half of the students at the school would say they regularly recycle? The dotplot shows the results of taking 200SRSS of 100students from a population in which the true proportion who recycle is 0.50.

a. Explain why the sample result (55out of 100said "Yes") does not give convincing evidence that more than half of the school's students recycle.

b. Suppose instead that 63students in the class's sample had said "Yes." Explain why this result would give convincing evidence that a majority of the school's students recycle.
