In a large Introductory Statistics lecture hall, the professor reports that 52% of the students enrolled have never taken a Calculus course, 33% have taken only one semester of Calculus, and the rest have taken two or more semesters of Calculus. The professor randomly assigns students to groups of three to work on a project for the course.

What is the probability that the first groupmate you meet has studied two or more semesters of Calculus? 0.1500
What is the probability that the first groupmate you meet has studied some Calculus? 0.4800
What is the probability that the first groupmate you meet has studied no more than one semester of Calculus? 0.8500
What is the probability that neither of your two groupmates have studied Calculus? 0.2700
What is the probability that both of your two groupmates have studied exactly one semester of Calculus? 0.1090
What is the probability that both your groupmates have studied some Calculus? 0.2300
What is the probability that at least one of your groupmates has had more than one semester of Calculus?

The professor of an introductory statistics course has found something interesting: there may be a relationship between scores on his first midterm and the number of years the test-takers have spent at the university. For the 63 students taking the course, the professor found that the least squares regression equation relating the two variables number of years spent by the student at the university (denoted by x) and score on the first midterm (denoted by y) is 9 - 83.52...

Scenario 4 A small college has historically found that 17% of its students withdraw without completing the introductory statistics course. Twenty-two students have enrolled in the course this semester. Use Excel for this scenario. (Round probabilities to four decimals) 1) What is the probability that 5 or fewer will withdraw. 2) What is the probability that exactly 3 withdraw? 3) What is the probability that 6 or more withdraw? 4) How many students are expected to withdraw? (Two decimals)

A professor using an open source introductory statistics book predicts that 20% of the students will purchase a hard copy of the book, 30% will print it out from the web, and 50% will read it online. At the end of the semester he asks his students to complete a survey where they indicate what format of the book they used. Of the 156 students, 25 said they bought a hard copy of the book, 51 said they printed it...

Each year about 1500 students take the introductory statistics course at a large university. This year scores on the nal exam are distributed with a median of 74 points, a mean of 70 points, and a standard deviation of 10 points. There are no students who scored above 100 (the maximum score attainable on the nal) but a few students scored below 20 points. (a) Is the distribution of scores on this nal exam symmetric, right skewed, or left skewed?...

A Statistics professor has observed that for several years students score an average of 113 points out of 150 on the semester exam. A salesman suggests that he try a statistics software package that gets students more involved with computers, predicting that it will increase students' scores. The software is expensive, and the salesman offers to let the professor use it for a semester to see if the scores on the final exam increase significantly. The professor will have to...
