A starting lineup in basketball consists of two guards, two forwards, and a center. a.   A certain college team has on its roster three centers,
four guards, four forwards, and one individual (X) who can play either guard or forward. How many different starting lineups can be created? [Hint: Consider lineups without X, then lineups with X as guard, then lineups with X as forward.]
b.   Now suppose the roster has 5 guards, 5 forwards, 3 centers, and 2 “swing players” (X and Y) who can play either guard or forward. If 5 of the 15 players are randomly selected, what is the proba- bility that they constitute a legitimate starting lineup?

To compare two kinds of bumper guards, six of each kind were mounted on a car. Then the car was run into a concrete wall. Statistics for the costs of repairs are: ¯x1 = 140, ¯x2 = 149, (s1)^2 = 80, (s2) ^2 = 82. Assume that the two populations are normal, independent and have the same variance. Test at α = .01 the null hypothesis that there is no difference between costs of repairs.
