Chapter 3 Probability True/False 1. A contingency table is a tabular summary of probabilities concerning two sets of complementary events. Answer: True Difficulty: Medium 2. An event is a collection of sample space outcomes. Answer: True Difficulty: Easy 3. Two events are independent if the probability of one event is influenced by whether or not the other event occurs. Answer: False Difficulty: Medium 4. Mutually exclusive events have a nonempty

Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to apply Mendel’s laws to predict the probability of the occurrence of a single event‚ of two independent events and of certain traits in offspring of parents exhibiting traits. Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk in 1866‚ who studied how traits were passed using pea plants. From his studies of inheritance‚ he created three laws of inheritance: the law of dominance‚ the law of segregation‚ and the law of independent assortment. He called genes ‘’factors’’

t=(x(bar) - µ 0 )/(s/sqrt(n)) t = (3.1948 – 3.16)/(0.0889/sqrt(25)) t = 1.957255343 Find the P-value: P = 0.03102312 Write a conclusion in context. Since we are using a 1% level of significance‚ the -level is 0.01. Since P> 0.01‚ we can not reject the null hypothesis. In context: We do not have evidence at the 1% level (P = 0.03102312) that the mean regular unleaded gas prices for our region is greater than that in the study

1) Describe two main differences between classical and empirical probabilities. a. Classical probabilities are based on assumptions; Empirical probabilities are based on observations. b. Classical probabilities do not require an action to take place; Empirical probabilities have to have been “performed”. 2) Gather 16 to 30 coins. Shake and empty bag of coins 10 times and tally up how many head and tails are showing. Number of coins: 20 * Consider the first toss‚ what is the

The Poisson probability distribution‚ named after the French mathematician Siméon-Denis. Poisson is another important probability distribution of a discrete random variable that has a large number of applications. Suppose a washing machine in a Laundromat breaks down an average of three times a month. We may want to find the probability of exactly two breakdowns during the next month. This is an example of a Poisson probability distribution problem. Each breakdown is called an occurrence in Poisson

#1 True or false: Even if the sample size is more than 1000‚ we cannot always use the normal approximation to binomial. Solution: If a sample is n>30‚ we can say that sample size is sufficiently large to assume normal approximation to binomial curve. Hence the statement is false. #2 A salesperson goes door-to-door in a residential area to demonstrate the use of a new Household appliance to potential customers. She has found from her years of experience that after demonstration‚ the

A Case-Based Retrieval System for Diabetic Patients Therapy Stefania Montani 1 Riccardo Bellazzi1 ‚ Luigi Portinale 2 Stefano Fiocchi 3 and Mario Stefanelli1 ‚ ‚ Abstract. We propose a decision support tool based on the Case Based Reasoning technique‚ meant to help physicians in the retrieval of past similar cases‚ able to provide a suggestion about the revision of diabetic patients’ therapy scheme. A case is defined as a set of features collected during a visit. A taxonomy of prototypical
