Suppose that a scientist has bred two litters of rodents in his lab, with the first litter containing two brown-haired rodents and one grey-haired, and the second litter containing three brown-haired rodents and two grey haired. 1) Suppose that I choose one of the litters at random, and randomly choose a rodent from it. What is the probability that the rodent I select will have brown hair? 2) Given that I have selected a brown-haired rodent, what is the probability that the sampling was from the first litter?

White boxers are dogs that have a genetic disposition for going deaf within the first year after they are born. Suppose a litter of seven white boxer puppies contained two dogs that would eventually experience deafness. A family randomly selected three puppies from this litter to take home as family pets. (For this problem, define a success as selecting a dog that will eventually experience deafness.) Complete parts a through d below. (round all answers to four decimal places) a....

Suppose that there are two bags, each containing n − 1 red balls and one green ball. You choose k balls at random from the first bag and put them into the second. You then choose k balls from the second bag and put them into the first. Find the probability (in terms of n and k) that both green balls end up in the same bag.

Suppose that .06 of each of two populations possess a given characteristic. Samples of size 400 are randomly drawn from each population. The standard deviation for the sampling distribution of differences between the first sample proportion and the second sample proportion (used to calculate the z-score) is _______. Select one: a. 0.05640 b. 0.00014 c. 0.00300 d. 0.01200 Suppose that there is no difference in the population means of two populations. Suppose also that the variance of the first population...

Suppose you have a box with 10 red balls, 4 green balls, and 6 blue balls. Answer the following questions. Think about the questions below. They look similar, but how are they different? a) You randomly select two balls from the box. What is the probability of selecting two red balls? b) Suppose you are asked to draw a ball, return whatever you picked, and draw another ball. This is called sampling with replacement. What is the probability of selecting...

Recall the pre-lab candy situation consider: two unopened bags of candy (one Skittles the other M&M's). The manufacturers state the distribution of coloured candies is: M&M'S MILK CHOCOLATE: 24% blue, 19% orange, 16% green, 13% yellow, 13% red, 15% brown. SKITTLES: colours are reportedly distributed evenly, meaning each colour (red, orange, green, blue, yellow, and purple) has a probability of 1616. Assume that both of these unopened bags have the same number of candies. If they are opened and mixed,...

Suppose that in a certain population, 18% have green eyes and 25% have blonde hair. In addition, 11% of people have green eyes and blonde hair. Let G represent the event that a person has green eyes, and B represent the event that a person has blonde hair. In each part of this question, you must first express each probability in terms of the events G and B and justify any computation through the use of a formula. (a) Express...
