Exam Question 8 Rudy Gobert is in the NBA and plays for the Timberwolves. He has the highest free throw percentage of 63.8%. Show all your work for the problems below. Compute the probability that Gobert misses a free throw.  Gobert has the chance to shoot three free throws. What is the probability that he makes all three? Round to three decimal places. Gobert is practicing his free throws and stops shooting once he makes it. What is the probability that he makes it for the first time on the third try? Round to three decimal places. Gobert has the chance to shoot three free throws. What is the probability that he misses at least one? (Use the complement rule). Round to three decimal places. Gobert has the chance to shoot seven free throws. What is the probability that Gobert makes exactly three of the seven free throws? Round to three decimal places.

Exam Question 1 This assessment is enabling you to demonstrate your understanding of the concepts presented in units 2-4 from Elementary Statistics. Use techniques you have learned to solve the problems on the assessment. Points will be earned primarily through the process of solving. Therefore, you will show as much work as possible and will provide justification whenever necessary. Write your favorite color on the bottom of the last page of the assessment to get an extra point. Use models, tables, and/or write descriptively when providing explanations.  The solutions you provide should be of your own original thought. No collaboration/discussion with anyone, including the use of any AI program, is not permitted. Desmos graphing and desmos scientific calculators are permitted on this assessment, but you will be required to show how you reached your answers (especially if the directions say “show the calculation to earn credit” or “by hand”). If I suspect any part of the work is not your own, you will earn a zero on that portion of the assessment and the activity will be reported to the college to be formally processed and permanently recorded.  Sign your name on your work and answer template to acknowledge and agree to these terms. 

Prof Rea’s Exam Q7 Suppose that the president has a 54% approval rating among voters. (The population is large enough for trials to be considered independent). What is the probability that a randomly selected voter disapproves of the president? What is the probability that all 4 randomly selected voters approve of the president? Round your answer to three decimal places. What is the probability that of 15 randomly selected voters, exactly 4 approve of the president? Use binomial probability.  Round your answer to three decimal places. Show the calculation to earn full credit.

Prof Rea’s Exam Q8 Given below is a clickable scatterplot generated from data taken from 11 high school students. The LSR line is graphed on the same plane.    Sample mean Sample standard deviation linear correlation coefficient SAT math score (x) 436 160.466 0.976 High school GPA (y) 73.273 14.867 Use the information in the table above to compute the slope and y-intercept of the LSR line. Then write the equation of the LSR line. Round all values to two decimal places.

Exam Question 7 The following table shows the number of people who developed Covid-19 in a sample of 94 total participants who developed Covid-19. Participants are organized by their reported gender and whether they received a vaccine or placebo in the trial.  Vaccine Placebo Total Male 4 42 46 Female 3 36 39 Other 1 8 9 Total 8 86 94 What is the probability of someone with a vaccine developing Covid-19? To earn full credit, write your answer using probability notation, as a fraction and decimal rounded to three decimal places. What is the probability that someone who is male and vaccinated develops Covid-19? To earn full credit, write your answer using probability notation, as a fraction and decimal rounded to three decimal places. A student answers the following question incorrectly. Explain the mistake they made and answer the question correctly (use proper notation and justify your answer with a calculation).  Question: Is it more likely to meet a man with a placebo that developed Covid-19 or a woman with a placebo that develops Covid-19? Answer: Since there are more men who received the placebo than women, you are more likely to meet a man with a placebo that developed Covid-19. What is the probability that someone who is male or vaccinated develops Covid-19? To earn full credit, write your answer using probability notation, as a fraction and decimal rounded to three decimal places.
