Among employees of a certain firm, 70% know C/C++, 60% know Java, and 90% know at least one of the two languages.

(a) What is the probability that a selected programmer knows both languages?

(b) What is the probability that a selected programmer knows C/C++ but not Java?

(d) If a programmer knows Java, what is the probability that he/she knows C/C++?

(e) If a programmer knows C/C++, what is the probability that he/she knows Java?

(f) Are the events “know Java” and “know C/C++” independent? Are then mutually exclusive? Explain.

Randi wants to know if at least 90% of the employees at her company are currently enrolled in a health insurance plan. She randomly samples 700 employees and finds that 651 of them are currently enrolled in a plan. Randi conducts a one-proportion hypothesis test at the 5% significance level, to test whether the true proportion of employees enrolled in a plan at this company is greater than 90%. For this test: H0:p=0.9; Ha:p>0.9, which is a right-tailed test. Use...

A team of dermatological researchers were studying skin cancer among 60-70 year old American men. Suppose you were a part of the research team and take a sample of n=70 men from this age group and calculate the mean number of skin cancer spots in the sample. Also suppose that it is known that the distribution of the number of cancer spots is right-skewed. 1. How is the standard deviation of the distribution of sample means related to the population...
