Solutions can be found following the section exercises.
T-Maze A mouse is put into a T-maze (a maze shaped like a “T”) (Fig. 2). If it turns to the left, it receives cheese, and if it turns to the right, it receives a mild shock. This trial is done twice with the same mouse and the directions of the turns recorded.

- What is meant by the sample space of an experiment?arrow_forwardThe following problem submitted by Daniel Hahn of Blairstown, Iowa, appeared in the Ask Marilyn column of Parade magazine. Source: Parade magazine. You discover two booths at a carnival. Each is tended by an honest man with a pair of covered coin shakers. In each shaker is a single coin, and you are allowed to bet upon the chance that both coins in that booths shakers are heads after the man in the booth shakes them, does an inspection, and can tell you that at least one of the shakers contains a head. The difference is that the man in the first booth always looks inside both of his shakers, whereas the man in the second booth looks inside only one of the shakers. Where will you stand the best chance?arrow_forwardWhat is an experiment?arrow_forward
- List the sample space of each experiment. Tossing three coinsarrow_forwardMs. Shen thought that students would be more likely to remember their review if she called their house and reminded them. A random group(1) of 50 students were not contacted and she found that 17 remembered their reviews on test day. Another random group(2) of 60 students were contacted and reminded to bring their review to Statistics class and she was happy to notice that 26 brought the review Select the correct type of test for the problem. 2 Samp T Test 2 Prop Z Test T Test 2 Samp Z Test Choose the correct combination of the null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis. H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 > p2 H0: p1 < p2; H1: p1 = p2 H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 ≠ p2 H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 < p2arrow_forwardA noted psychic was tested for ESP. The psychic was presented with 200 cards face down and askedto determine if the card was one of five symbols: a star, cross, circle, square, or three wavy lines. Thepsychic was correct in 50 cases. To determine if he has ESP, we want to know if his success rate is betterthan someone who just guesses. That is, we test the hypotheses H0: p = 0.20, Ha: p > 0.20, where prepresent the proportion of cards for which the psychic correctly identifies the symbol in random trials.Assume the 200 trials described above can be treated as an SRS from the population of all guesses thepsychic would make in his lifetime. The P-value of this test isA) between .10 and .05.B) between .05 and .025.C) between .025 and .01.D) between .01 and .001.E) below .001.arrow_forward
