A math student estimates that he has a 3/5 chance that he will get an A on the test, but it is more likely that he will get a B than an A. Explain the flaw in this statement.

Math teachers frequently claim that doing hw helps students get better grades in their math classes. To test this claim, a survey of high school math students was conducted from which the following results were obtained: - 48% completed math hw regularly - 55% have a B average or better in math class - 40% do not complete math hw regularly AND have less than a B average in math class Do these data support the claim that students who...
a student figures that he has a 26% chance of being let out of class late.if he leaves class late, there is a 82% chance thst he will miss his train. what is the probability that he gets out of class late and misses the train? the probabililty is
Assume that any student has a 25% chance of getting into a certain college. Let the random variable X denote the number of students (from a total of 5 students who apply) who get into the school. For the following problems do not use calculator commands. a. What are the parameters n and p for the distribution? b. What is the expected number of students (out of the 5) who will be accepted to the school? c. Find the standard...
If a teacher is trying to prove that "new" math is more effective than traditional math, he/she will: a) Conduct a one-tailed hypothesis test. b) Conduct a two-tailed hypothesis test. c) Calculate the point estimate of the population parameter. d) Build a confidence interval. e) None of the above.

A graduate student in education has developed an mathematical intervention program for under-performing school children. To test the effectiveness of his intervention he administers a math skills assessment at the beginning of the school year to a sample of n-25 students. He then implements the program throughout the year and re-assess the students again at the end of the school year. On average there was a 3 point difference between time 1 and time 2, with a variance value of...
A student takes an exam containing 10 multiple choice questions. Each question has 5 choices. If the student guesses, what is the probability that he will get less than 7 but more than 5 questions right? Round your answer to four decimal places.
A student earned the following marks on his six math tests this semester: 79, 81, 44, 89, 79, 90. Find the mean, median, and the mode for the student’s marks. Which of the three averages probably is the best indicator of the student’s ability? If the instructor gives him a chance to replace his score of 44 by taking a ‘make-up” exam, what must he score on the make-up to get an overall average (mean) of 85?
