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, five guards, three 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.] Correct: Your answer is correct. lineups (b) Now suppose the roster has 3 guards, 5 forwards, 3 centers, and 2 "swing players" (X and Y) who can play either guard or forward. If 5 of the 13 players are randomly selected, what is the probability that they constitute a legitimate starting lineup? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

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.

Problem 2 In the land of Skyrim, two-thirds of city guards were previously adventurers, but were forced to change professions after sustaining career-ending arrow-related knee injuries. Consider K to be a random variable representing the number of knee-injured guards working in a city that has 25 guards employed in total. Evaluate the following probabilities: a) P(K = 16) b) P(K = 17) c) P(5 <= K < 11) d) P(K = 0) e) P(K = 25) f) P(3 < K)
