Tom, Dicck, and Harry are all in the bottled-water business. If one or two of them expand their production, they can take business away from those who do not, but if all expand, they will be back to a break-even situation. Here are the payoffs:

Microplastics have been found in both tap water and bottled water. Bottled water results A study analyzed 259 bottles and found an average of 320 plastic particles for every liter of water being sold. The associated standard deviation was 327. (Yes, the standard deviation is larger than the mean.) Tap water results In a similar study, 30 tap water samples were analyzed.

Is the bottled water you are drinking really purified water? In a four-year study of bottled water brands conducted by the Natural Resources Defense Council found that 25% of bottled water is just tap water packed in a bottle. Consider a sample of five brands of bottled water and let X equal the number of these brands that use tap water. a. Explain why X is (approximately) a binomial random variable. b. Find that the P (X = 2) c....

Researchers examined the bottled-water phenomenon and preference of water types. One hundred fifteen subjects participated in double-blind taste tests of three different bottled water brands (Fiji, Aquafina, and Sam’s Choice) and tap water. Fifteen people preferred the tap water, 29 Aquafina, 47 Fiji, and 24 Sam’s Choice. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the four different water types are not equally likely in preference?
