Question 1 of 40
2.5/ 2.5 Points

randomly
selected, what is the probability that the student is a
woman?
A. 32/132

Question 2 of 40
2.5/ 2.5 Points
Joe dealt 20 cards from a standard 52-card deck, and the
number of red cards exceeded the number of black cards by 8. He reshuffled the
cards and dealt 30 cards. This time, the number of red cards exceeded the
number of black cards by 10. Determine which deal is closer to the 50/50 ratio
of red/black expected of fairly dealt hands from a fair deck and why.
A. The first series
is closer because 1/10 is farther from 1/2 than is 1/8.
B. The series closer
to the theoretical 50/50 cannot be determined unless the number of red and
black cards for each deal is given.
C. The second series
is closer because 20/30 is closer to 1/2 than is 14/20.
D. The first series
is closer because the difference between red and black is smaller than the
difference in the second series.

Question 3 of 40
2.5/ 2.5 Points
In the first series of rolls of a die, the number of odd
numbers exceeded the number of even numbers by 5. In the second series of rolls
of the same die, the number of odd numbers exceeded the number of even numbers
by 11. Determine which series is closer to the 50/50 ratio of odd/even expected
of a fairly rolled die.
A. The second series
is closer because the difference between odd and even numbers is greater than
the difference for the first series.
B. The first series
is closer because the difference between odd and even numbers is less than the
difference for the second series.
C. Since 1/2 >
1/5 > 1/11, the first series is closer.
D. The series closer
to the theoretical 50/50 cannot be determined unless the total number of rolls
for both series is given.

Question 4 of 40
