What distribution best models each situation? (No actual work, just which distribution best models the problem) A. According to the Daily Racing Form, the probability is about 0.67 that the favorite in a horse race will finish in the money (first, second or third place). Suppose that you always bet the favorite “across the board”, which means that you win something if the favorite finishes in the money. What probability distribution describes the number of races that you bet until...

A couple of cyclists are racing down a path in adjacent and parallel lanes. At time t = 0, the first cyclist is ahead of the second one by 1 km. The mean speed of the first cyclist (km/hr) is 40 with standard deviation 1 and the mean speed of the second cyclist is 39 with standard deviation 1. Both cyclists’ speeds are normally distributed. a) After 2 hours of cycling, what is the probability that the second cyclist has...

For this question, you need at least 6 decimal places. An exact answer (fractions) is recommended on both parts, especially the first part since it will be used for the second question. Baumgartner, Prosser, and Crowell are grading 19 calculus exams on which there is a series of 5 multiple choice questions. Each question has 3 answer choices. Crowell says, "I bet we should expect at least three exams in which no answer is correct if everyone is just guessing."...

We have the choice between 2 games.  Both require a $5 bet.  Make a decision as to which game you would play based on the probability distributions below.  Let X represent amount of money won/lost.  You can either lose your $5, get your $5 back (break even), win double ($10), triple ($15) or quadruple ($20) your money. If you win $10, what is your profit? If you win $15, what is your profit? If you win $20, what is your profit? The following tables...
