 A study of graduates with their average grade and degrees showed the following results.

Grades
Degrees
C B A
B.S. 5 8 15
B.A. 7 12 18

If a graduate is selected randomly, compute these probabilities.

i. The graduate has the B.S degree, given that he or she has a grade A.
ii. Given that the graduate has a B.A degree, the graduate has Grade C.

 A survey from Teenage Research Unlimited (Northbrook, Illinois) found that 30% of
teenage consumers receive their spending money from part-time jobs. If 5 teenagers
are selected at random, find the probability that at least 3 of them will have part-time jobs

 If approximately 2% of the people in a room of 200 people are left-handed, find the
probability that exactly 5 people there are left-handed.

 Block enterprises, a manufacturer of chip for computers, is in the process of deciding

whether to replace its current semi-automatic assembly line with a fully automatic assembly
line. Block has gathered some preliminary test data about hourly chip production, which is
summarized in the following table, and it would like to know whether it should upgrade it
assembly line. State (and test at 2% level of significance) appropriate hypotheses to help
block decide.

 Audio sound runs a chain of stores selling stereo systems and components. It has been very
successful in many university towns, but it has had some failure. Analysis of its failure has
led it to adopt a policy of not opening a store unless it can be reasonably certain that more
than 15 percent of the students in town own stereo systems costing $1200 or more a survey
of 330 of the 2400 students at a small liberal arts college in the mid-west has discovered that 87
of them own stereo systems costing at least $1200. if Audio Sound is willing to run a 5
percent risk of failure, should it open a store in this town
 Suppose a company makes four kinds of light bulbs and it is desired to test whether there
are any differences in the disabilities of bulbs. Random Sample are selected and the results
are obtained as under:

̅̅̅̅
𝑿𝟏 20 𝑺𝟐𝟏 9 n1 7
̅̅̅̅
𝑿𝟐 30 𝑺𝟐𝟐 32 n2 12
̅̅̅̅
𝑿𝟑 22 𝑺𝟐𝟑 26 n3 9
̅̅̅̅
𝑿𝟒 27 𝑺𝟐𝟒 49 n4 7

Where Variance (s2) is the estimate from the sample. Perform the analysis of variance to
predict whether the service lives of the four kinds of bulbs do not differ from one another at
10% level of significance
