Research has called into question the reliability of eyewitness testimony. Discuss this in terms of one of the following:
Sometimes the only eyewitness to a crime is a child (as in child abuse). What are the risks of relying on the testimony of a child? What are the risks of disallowing a child's testimony in court? How can we improve the reliability of a child's testimony?

The GPA of accounting students in a university is known to be normally distributed. A random sample of 31 accounting students results in a mean of 3.14 and a standard deviation of 0.15. Construct the 99% confidence interval for the mean GPA of all accounting students at this university.

Suppose a student carrying a flu virus returns to an isolated college campus of 1000 students. If it is assumed that the rate at which the virus spreads is proportional not only to the number x of infected students but also to the number of students not infected, and assume that no one leaves the campus throughout the duration of the disease, determine the number of infected students after 6 days if it is further observed that after 4 days x(4) = 50.

A research study investigated differences between male and female students. Based on the study results, we can assume the population mean and standard deviation for the GPA of male students are µ = 3.5 and σ = 0.6. Suppose a random sample of 100 male students is selected and the GPA for each student is calculated. What is the probability that the random sample of 100 male students has a mean GPA greater than 3.42?

To an engineering class containing 19 male and three female students, there are 22 workstations available. To assign each work station to two students, the professor forms 11 teams one at a time, each consisting of two randomly selected students. In this process, let X be the total number of students selected when the first team consisting of a male and female student appears. Find the probability mass function of X.
