1. Some couples planning a new family would prefer at least one child of each sex. The probability that a couple’s first child is a boy is 0.512. In the absence of technological intervention, the probability that their second child is a boy is independent of the sex of their first child, and so remains 0.512. Imagine that you are helping a new couple with their planning. If the couple plans to have only two children: (a) What is the...

Last year, the yield on AAA-rated corporate bonds averaged approximately 5 percent; one year later, whereas this year the yield on these same bonds had climbed to about 6 percent because the Federal Reserve increased interest rates during the year. Assume that IBM issued a 10-year, 5 percent coupon bond one year ago (on January 1). On the same date, Microsoft issued a 20-year, 5 percent coupon bond. Both bonds pay interest annually and each has a par value of...

State the number of friends (or connections) that you have on Facebook (or Linkedin). In case you have more than 365 friends or connections, think of an alternative, smaller group of friends or relatives. What is the chance that there are at least 2 people among your friends (or connections) with the same birthday (same day, not same year)? Let's find out. Please respond with an estimate of the probability that this will happen. This estimate can be intuitive or...

#46 In a survey of 2000 adults 50 years and older of whom 20% were retired and 80% were pre-retired, the following question was asked: Do you expect your income needs to vary from year to year in retirement? Of those who were retired, 23% answered no, and 77% answered yes. Of those who were pre-retired, 28% answered no, and 72% answered yes. If a respondent in the survey was selected at random and had answered yes to the question,...

In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer. The western United States has a number of four-lane interstate highways that cut through long tracts of wilderness. To prevent car accidents with wild animals, the...
