Question 1142698: A peculiar die has the following properties: on any roll the probability of rolling either a 6, a 1, or a 1/2 is , just as it is with an ordinary die. Moreover, the probability of rolling either a 4, a 5, or a 3 is again 1/2. However, the probability of rolling a is , not as one would expect of an ordinary fair die.From what you know about this peculiar die, compute the following.
The probability of rolling either a 2, a 5, or a 3
The probability of rolling either a 6 or a 1

Question 1142702: Peak expiratory flow (PEF) is a measure of a patient’s ability to expel air from the lungs. Patients with asthma or other respiratory conditions often have restricted PEF. The mean PEF for children free of asthma is 360. An investigator wants to test whether children with chronic bronchitis have restricted PEF. A sample of 48 children with chronic bronchitis are studied and their mean PEF is 297 with a standard deviation of 74. Is there statistical evidence of a lower mean PEF in children with chronic bronchitis? Run the appropriate test at alpha = 0.05.

Question 1142724: I am trying to calculate a probability problem. It reads: "If someone spins the spinner twice, what is the probability it will land on an even number?"
The spinner has the following numbers clockwise: 1,2,3,2,5,4,4. However, the space that includes the 1 is twice the size of the others and is 25% of the total area of the spinner. If I draw a dividing line in the larger space, I will then have 8 equal parts. Is this the correct procedure for solving the problem?

Question 1142737: 1) We are creating a new card game with a new deck. Unlike the normal deck that has 13 ranks (Ace through King) and 4 Suits (hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs), our deck will be made up of the following.
Each card will have:
i) One rank from 1 to 18.
ii) One of 5 different suits.
Hence, there are 90 cards in the deck with 18 ranks for each of the 5 different suits, and none of the cards will be face cards! So, a card rank 11 would just have an 11 on it. Hence, there is no discussion of "royal" anything since there won't be any cards that are "royalty" like King or Queen, and no face cards!
The game is played by dealing each player 5 cards from the deck. Our goal is to determine which hands would beat other hands using probability. Obviously the hands that are harder to get (i.e. are more rare) should beat hands that are easier to get.

Question 1142965: In families with four children, you’re interested in the probabilities for the different possible numbers of girls in a family. Using theoretical probability (assume girls and boys are equally likely), compile a five-column table with the headings “0” through “4,” for the five possible numbers of girl children in a four-child family. Then, using “G” for girls and “B” for boys, list under each heading the various birth-order ways of achieving that number of girls in a family.
Then, use your table to calculate the following probabilities:
a. The probability of 1 girl
b. The probability of 2 girls
c. The probability of 4 girls
d. The probability the third child born is a girl
