Question I
In the senior year of a high school graduating class of 100 students, 42 studied mathematics, 68 studied psychology, 54 studied history, 22 studied both mathematics and history, 25 studied both mathematics and psychology, 7 studied history but neither mathematics nor psychology, 10 studied all three subjects, and 8 did not take any of the three. Randomly select a student from the class and find the probabilities of the following events.
(a) A person enrolled in psychology takes all three subjects.
(b) A person not taking psychology is taking both history and mathematics


A
The probability that an automobile being filled with gasoline also needs an oil change is 0.25; the probability that it needs a new oil filter is 0.40; and the probability that both the oil and the filter need changing is 0.14.
(a) If the oil has to be changed, what is the probability that a new oil filter is needed?
(b) If a new oil filter is needed, what is the probability that the oil has to be changed?

A high school physics teacher wondered if his students in the senior class this year will be more likely to go into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) majors than Social Science and Liberal Arts majors. He asked each of his 65 students about their first choice for major on their college applications and conducted a Chi-square test for goodness of fit with an alpha level of .05 to see if the number of students choosing each category differs significantly. 35...

Albany High School is planning a field trip for senior students. They expected 100 students to participate in the trip but eventually 130 students join the trip. They planned to charge each student a price of $25 for the trip and spend an expense of $20 per student for the trip. Then, they find that the expense of the filed trip goes up to $30 per student, and they have to increase the price for each student to $40. Budget...

The officers of a high school senior class are planning to rent buses and vans for a class trip. Each bus can transport 80 students, requires five chaperones, and cost $1000 to rent. Each band can transport 10 students, requires one chaperone, and cost $80 to rent. Since there are 800 students in the senior class that may be eligible to go on the trip, the officers must plan to accommodate at least 800 students. So it's only 65 parents...

The following data is the math test scores of students graduating from a particular high school. The government uses these scores to determine if there will be accreditation awarded. In order for this to occur the mean score must be above 780. A sample of students' scores is drawn at random and they take the test. The scores are in the following table and the population is considered a normal distribution. Test at the .01 level. 980 764 798 760...

Students completed a high school senior level standardized algebra exam. Major for students was also recorded. Data in terms of percent correct is recorded below for 32 students. We are interested to see if there is any difference between students' high-school algebra test scores and subsequent declared college major. These students have now also just completed the same college-level calculus class and received a grade. We are therefore now also interested to see if there is any relationship between the...

There is some evidence that high school students justify cheating in class on the basis of poor teacher skills. Poor teachers are thought not to know or care whether students cheat, so cheating in their classes is OK. Good teachers, on the other hand, do care and are alert to cheating, so students tend not to cheat in their classes. A researcher selects three teachers that vary in their teaching performance (Poor, Average, and Good). 6 students are selected from...
