Children are frequently excited to buy breakfast cereal in an effort to “collect all six action figures.” Assume that there are six action figures and each cereal box contains exactly one of the six with each figure being equally likely to be in a box. How many boxes do parents typically have to buy to satisfy their child’s appetite? Using the Random Numbers app, select “1” as the minimum value and “6” as the maximum and generate 50 numbers. Count...

2. For each of the following random variables: • Decide whether it would be appropriate to model it as a Bernoulli, binomial, geometric, or Poisson distribution, or none of the above. Explain briefly why these choices are appropriate, including any independence assumptions. If appropriate, give the parameter value(s). • Determine the expected value, variance, and standard deviation of the random variable. If it follows one of the special distributions, you can use the known formulas discussed in class. (If multiple...

A. Introduction and Objective Every test has at least two sources of variation that affect the results of the test. The first source of variation is due to the experimental procedure, such as using two different testing machines that have different calibrations, or different observers reading the same equipment differently. This type of variation is often called the experimental error The second source of variation is inherent in the specimens (or sample population) themselves. In other words, no two specimens...

Here’s your task: You’re going to create exactly two classes. One class will act as the functional server. The main method of this server will setup the connection on a localhost, find the two clients, let them know which one is Player 1 and which one is Player 2 (depending on the order they connect), and then manage the game as it’s being played. This is important: For each player’s turn they should start by displaying their current score to...
