An experiment consists in asking 8 people whether they have a college degree, and counting the number of people who answer they do have one. List all the possible values of the random variable associated to this experiment.
Homework Answers
Sample space contains 8 people.
Let X = number of people who have a college degree.
Then X can takes the values 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8. Zero corresponding to no one has college degree, ... , 8 corresponding to all of the eight people have college degree.
Therefore possible values of the random variable X are 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8.

A chaired committee consists of k 1 members, out of whom one member is designated as the chairperson. The expression k(can be interpreted as the number of possible chaired committees with k members. This is because we have choices for the k members, and once the members are chosen, there are then k choices for the chairperson. Thus, is...

To test whether people benefit from a college degree, 15 college graduates who had worked full time before they went to college were randomly selected and their pre- and post- college-degree incomes were obtained. The data collected are given in the following table. Note that X1 stands for one’s pre-college-degree income and X2 stands for post-college-degree income. Test the hypothesis that people benefit from college degrees. (Income is measured in 1000 dollars) X1 X2 25 32 31 35 30 30...

In a survey of 1000 eligible voters selected at random, it was found that 200 had a college degree
In a survey of 1000 eligible voters selected at random, it was found that 200 had a college degree. Additionally, it was found that 90% of those who had a college degree voted in the last presidential election, whereas 46% of the people who did not have a college degree voted in the last presidential election. Assuming that the poll is representative of all eligible voters, find the probability that an eligible voter selected at random will have the following...

Suppose that we go sequentially through a group of people asking each in turn to pick one of 5 options (e.g., "rock," "paper," "scissors," "fire," or "water") at random. Let Xi (for 0 ? i ? 4) be the random variable giving the number of additional people we have to ask before getting an option that has not been picked yet. (So X0 is the number of people we have to ask to get the first option, which will be...

Among a simple random sample of 326 American adults who do not have a four-year college degree and are not currently enrolled in school, 48% said they decided not to go to college because they could not afford school. Suppose an earlier hypothesis test determined that the data do not provide strong evidence that less than half of American adults who decide not to go to college make this decision because they cannot afford college. (a) Calculate a 90% confidence...

A polling company takes a nationwide survey asking people
whether they favor stricter laws on the sale of cigarettes. They
find that 45% agree, 35% disagree, and 20% are undecided. In a more
local simple random sample of size 200, 110 say they favor stricter
laws, 60 are opposed, and 30 have no opinion. You're interested in
whether these results differ significantly from the national
findings. Which of the following gives the set of expected values

2. Counting cards in blackjack (as seen in movies such as Rainman, The Hangover and 21) consists in keeping track of a count: the higher the count, the more likely it is for the next card drawn to be a high card. One version of this uses the following setup: . the cards 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are given the value +1, e the cards 7, 8, 9 are given the value 0, e the cards 10, J, Q,...
