3. Suppose that we obtain "5-lb" boxes of Bunnynibble and Kittybarf grasses, 30 boxes of each. The Bunnynibble boxes have a mean weight of 5.02 lbs and a sample standard deviation of 0.05, while the Kittybarf boxes have a mean weight of 5.05 lbs and a sample standard deviation of 0.08.

a. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean distances.

b. Is there enough evidence at the ?=0.05 significance level to indicate a difference in the mean distances? What is the p-value of the test?

There are 5 boxes. One box is empty; two boxes each contains one marble; and the remaining two boxes each contains two marbles. Suppose that the colors of the marbles are not known, but it is known that each marble can only be either red or green, with equal probability. Suppose that ONE box is randomly chosen from the 5 boxes, and let R denote the number of the red marble(s) the box has, and G be the number of...

Problem 3 . Suppose elements a[i] and a[i+k] are in the wrong order and we swap them. Prove that this will remove at least 1 inversion but at most 2k − 1 inversions. (This is textbook problem 7.3.) Further explain why both the lower bound of 1 and the upper bound of 2k − 1 can be attained for any i, k, where k > 0.

Consider a collection of 10 empty boxes (numbered from 1 to 10) and 5 balls. Suppose that each ball is placed in a box chosen at random. Assume that this placement of a ball in a box is performed independently for each ball. Note that a box may contain more than one ball and that some of the boxes will necessarily remain empty. Hint: Since more than one ball can be placed in the same box, it is best to...
