Solutions
Expert Solution
Let X be the event that the student got an A in Calculus I
Y be the event that the student got an A in Physics I
So here
N = 500
n(X) = 82
n(Y) = 73
a) the probability that a randomly chosen student Got an A in both of the two courses
b) the probability that a randomly chosen student Got an A in physics but not calculus
c) the probability that a randomly chosen student Got an A in at least one of the two courses
d) the probability that a randomly chosen student Got an A in calculus but not physics
e) the probability that a randomly chosen student Got less than an A in at least one of the two courses
Please give thumbs up if you like the answer.

Use the student dataset for this question. students are considered “full-time” students if they are enrolled in 12 or more credits in a given semester.
Use the student dataset for this question. students are considered “full-time” students if they are enrolled in 12 or more credits in a given semester.
What percent of respondents in the student dataset are “full-time” students? Consider your result to part (a) as the best estimate for the probability of any randomly selected student being full-time. Based on that response, what is the probability that in a class of 20 students they will all be full-time?

Students may choose between a 3-semester-hour physics course without labs and a 4-semester-hour course with labs.
Students may choose between a 3-semester-hour physics course without labs and a 4-semester-hour course with labs. The final written examination is the same for each section. If 12 students in the section with labs made an average grade of 84 with a standard deviation of 4, and 18 students in the section without labs made an average grade of 77 with a standard deviation of 6, find a 99% confidence interval for the difference between the average grades for the...

I have to do an experiment/ demonstration for my PHY251 class
(Calculus based physics). I am only allowed to do it on one of the
following topics: Vectors, Accelerated motion, Centripetal force,
Free fall, projectile motion, Inertia, Equilibrium, Friction,
Orbits, Tides. Does anyone have any ideas for a cool demonstration?
Please provide instructions for the demonstration/experiment. Thank
you in advance.
