a) total number of possibilities = 4*4=16
Probably of hiring both on Wednesday = 1/16
b) total number of possibilities=16
Probability of being hired on same day of week = 4/16 = 1/4
c) total number of possibilities= 47
Probability of being hired on same day of the week = 4/47
= 1/46
The event is highly unlikely because all 7 being hired on the same day is less than 0.05

A sales representative who is on the road visiting clients thinks that, on average, he drives the same distance each day of the week. He keeps track of his mileage for several weeks and discovers that he averages 128 miles on Mondays, 203 miles on Tuesdays, 175 miles on Wednesdays, 188 miles on Thursdays, and 108 miles on Fridays. He wonders if this evidence contradicts his belief in a uniform distribution of miles across the days of the week. Is...

14. In a survey, 161 respondents say that they never use a credit card, 1220 say that they use it sometimes, and 2828 say that they use it frequently. What is the probability that a randomly selected person uses a credit card frequently? Is it unlikely for someone to use a credit card frequently? How are all of these results affected by the fact that the responses were obtained by those who decided to respond to a survey posted on...

13.The data in the following table summarize results from 157 pedestrian deaths that were caused by accidents. If three different deaths are randomly selected without replacement, find the probability that they all involved intoxicated drivers. _ Pedestrian_Intoxicated Pedestrian_Not_Intoxicated Driver_Intoxicated 4 20 Driver_Not_Intoxicated 10 123 The probability is____ (Round to six decimal places as needed.) Is such an event unlikely no, because its probability is greater than 0.05 Yes, because its probability is greater than 0.05 no, because its probability is...

Among 450 randomly selected drivers in the 20-24 age bracket, 9 were in a car crash in the last year. If a driver in that age bracket is randomly selected, what is the approximate probability that he or she will be in a car crash during the next year? Is it unlikely for a driver in that age bracket to be involved in a car crash during a year? Is the resulting value high enough to be of concern to...

Chapter 5: Discussions 1. Scheduling Employees: Suppose you own a catering company. You hire temporary employees to act as servers from the local college. Not being the most reliable employees, there is an 80% chance that any one server will actually show up for a scheduled event. For a wedding scheduled on a given Saturday you need at least 5 servers. (a) Suppose you schedule 5 employees, what is the probability that all 5 come to work? (b) Suppose you...
