Boys and Girls of Canada is a not-for-profit organization that raises funds each year by selling popcorn door-to-door. It offers to pay Poppycrock $22 per crate for a special-order batch of 5,000 crates. The special-order popcorn would include a unique label with information about the Boys and Girls of Canada. The additional cost of the label is estimated at $1.00 per crate. In addition, the variable overhead for these special-order crates would decrease by $0.50 because there would be no distribution costs.

Problem 1. A total of 2,224 people sailed on the maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic, the second of the White Star Line’s Olympic-class ocean liners, from Southampton, England, to New York City. Partway through the voyage, the ship struck an iceberg and sank in the early morning of 15 April, 1912. Here are the mortality data of Titanic.
| Adult Men | Adult women | Boys | Girls | |
| Survived | 338 | 316 | 29 | 27 |
| Died | 1352 | 109 | 35 | 18 |
a. If an individual who was aboard the Titanic is randomly selected, what is the probability the individual is an adult man?
b. If an individual who was aboard the Titanic is randomly
selected, what is the probability that the individual is an adult
man, given that the selected person died?
c.What is the probability of getting a boy or a girl, given that the randomly selected person is someone who survived?
d. What is the probability of getting an adult man or an adult woman, given that the randomly selected person is someone who died?

Emma is a 12-year-old girl enrolled in year 7 at a local state high school. Since commencing high school this year, Emma’s academic results have dropped significantly over the past 9 months from an A to a C level student. She has lost interest in completing schoolwork and participates little in class. She regularly misses days from school and when she is there, frequently isolates herself at break times and asks to go home as she is feeling ill. Teachers have spoken to you as the School Based Youth Health Nurse regarding Emma’s wellbeing. They are concerned as to whether there may be any physical or mental health issues impacting Emma’s presentation at school. After speaking with Emma’s mother to obtain the background case history information detailed below, you consult the School Guidance Officer who refers Emma to the local Child and Youth Mental Health Service (CYMHS), requesting COPMI support and investigation of potential anxiety disorder.
Demographic information
Emma lives with her mother Julie, aged 29 and younger sister
Ariella, aged 9. Julie’s husband Paul is aged 32 and works as a Fly
in Fly out (FIFO) miner who spends 2 weeks away then 2 weeks back
in town. Paul lives separately, about 15 minutes’ drive away, after
acrimoniously separating from Julie for a second time, 9 months
ago. Despite Paul being in town for 2 full weeks at a time, he has
been unpredictable in his contact with both Emma and Ariella. Julie
reports that Paul will often turn up to her house at odd hours
before school or in the evening, demanding to see the girls. He
will yell and argue loudly with Julie about child support payments
and contact with the girls whilst his daughters remain inside the
house. To cope with this stressful contact, lack of nearby family
support and financial worries caused by unemployment, Julie
self-medicates with a combination of alcohol and medications. On
one occasion after school, Emma found her mother unconscious as a
result of overdose. Emma later overheard paramedics say that if she
hadn’t called 000 when she did, her mother would have died.
In your discussion with Julie, she describes spending her childhood in a regional town however she left home at 15 years of age as a result of her own parent’s separation and divorce following paternal alcohol problems. Julie has had limited contact with her parents and younger sister since that time. She described feeling highly anxious during her teenage years whilst living on the streets. To cope with her anxiety, she engaged in substance misuse for 18 months before falling pregnant with Emma. Whilst pregnant with Emma, she met Paul and soon married him. For a short time, Julie and Paul lived with Paul’s parents in the regional town however Paul’s father was frequently verbally and physically aggressive towards them so they moved to the city in the hope that Paul could have improved employment opportunities. Two years later, Julie fell pregnant with Ariella who is Paul’s only biological child. Paul has made it clear to Emma from a young age that she is not his child and that he prefers to spend time with Ariella. Emma has never met her biological father as Julie has had no contact with him since informing him of her pregnancy with Emma. Emma is described by her mother as mature for her age, with a shy, sensitive and caring nature. She has a small group of close friends who she has maintained regular contact with up until the last 6 months. Since then, Emma has preferred to come home and spend time in her room despite regular invitations to visit friends after school and stay for sleepovers. From the age of 8 years onwards, Emma has had a love of netball, regularly attending all weekly practice sessions and weekend games. However, at the start of this netball season Emma has only attended sporadic practices and games, preferring to stay at home with her mother and sister. Julie reported that Emma has more recently complained of feelingsick before school and frequently asks to stay home. Julie explains that she has allowed this to occur on several occasions, particularly when she is stressed knowing Paul is home from his FIFO work.

The Pawnee Rangers, a boys-only wilderness club, and the Pawnee Goddesses, a girls-only wilderness club, went on a joint weekend camping trip with their respective troop leaders Ron Swanson and Leslie Knope. Leslie claims that her club (the Pawnee Goddesses) is better than Ron’s club. You may assume that the members who went on the camping trip are representative samples of their respective clubs. Please assume that “boy” and “girl” refer to each child’s self-identified gender.
During the weekend trip, Leslie proposes that the two clubs have a fishing competition to see if her club is better. To measure club superiority, Leslie is interested in comparing the long-run proportions of club members who can catch a fish within one hour. After fishing for one hour, each person caught at most one fish (either no fish or one fish). The results are shown in the two-way table below.
| Pawnee Rangers | Pawnee Goddesses | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caught a fish | 5 | 15 | 20 |
| Did not catch a fish | 13 | 17 | 30 |
| Total | 18 | 32 | 50 |
Define the following notation:
pR: the long-run proportion of Pawnee Rangers who can catch a fish within one hour
pG: the long-run proportion of Pawnee Goddesses who can catch a fish within one hour
Leslie used the two-sample z-test to compute a p-value of 0.0929, but Ron believes that Leslie's p-value is not valid. If all other things remain the same, how can Leslie fix the issue with her analysis?
Select one:
Ron is incorrect, all the conditions are satisfied for Leslie's analysis to be valid.
Increase the number of Pawnee Goddesses in the sample.
Increase the number of Pawnee Rangers in the sample.
Use the two-sample t-test instead of the z-test.
