A ping pong ball is drawn at random from an urn consisting of balls numbered 4 through 9. A player wins $0.5 if the number on the ball is odd and loses $0.5 if the number is even.

Let x be the amount of money a player will win/lose when playing this game, where x is negative when the player loses money.

(a) Construct the probability table for this game. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Outocme x Probability P(x)



(b) What is the expected value of player's winnings? Round to the nearest hundreth.



(c) Interpret the meaning of the expected value in the context of this problem.

You buy a bucket filled with white and yellow ping-pong balls, covered with a lid. The seller claims that at least half the balls in the bucket are yellow. The seller offers you a test as evidence. You get to draw 8 ping-pong balls from the bucket with a replacement but without peeking. Assume that each ball is equally likely to be drawn. a) What is your null hypothesis about the probability (p) to draw a yellow ball? b) If...
