Consider a random student, the probability that he takes English is 0.2, the probability that he takes Spanish is 0.3. Therefore the probability that he takes either English and Spanish is: -greater than, less than or equal to 0.5 -less than or equal to 0.5 -greater than or equal to 0.5 -equal to 0.5

Given that z is a standard normal random variable, compute the probability that it takes on a value that is: - either greater than 2 or less than -2. - that it takes on a value between -2 and -1. - that it takes on a value between 1 and 2. Answer must be between 0 and 1, round to four decimal places.

3 Probability and Statistics [10 pts] Consider a sample of data S obtained by flipping a coin five times. X,,i e..,5) is a random variable that takes a value 0 when the outcome of coin flip i turned up heads, and 1 when it turned up tails. Assume that the outcome of each of the flips does not depend on the outcomes of any of the other flips. The sample obtained S - (Xi, X2,X3, X, Xs) (1, 1,0,1,0 (a)...
