Aresearcher wishes to conduct a study of the color preferences of new car buyers. suppose that 50% of this population prefers the color brown. if 15 buyers are randomly selected, what is the probability that more than a third of the buyers would prefer brown? round your answer to four decimal places.

Danny draws a transversal, t, on two parallel lines ab and cd, as shown below: he makes the following table to prove that the alternate interior angles are equal: which is the missing justification? (6 points) corresponding angles formed by a transversal on parallel lines are supplementary. corresponding angles formed by a transversal on parallel lines are congruent. co-interior angles formed by a transversal on parallel lines are congruent. co-exterior angles formed by a transversal on parallel lines are congruent.

Brook states that the distance on the line is 4 units. caleb states that the whole line does not have a distance because it continues on forever. vivian states that the line is 6 units long. which distance did brook measure? which distance did vivian measure?

Aprisoner is trapped in a cell containing three doors. the first door leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after two days of travel. the second leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after three days of travel. the third door leads immediately to freedom. (a) assuming that the prisoner will always select doors 1, 2 and 3 with probabili- ties 0.5,0.3,0.2 (respectively), what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (b) assuming that the prisoner is always equally likely to choose among those doors that he has not used, what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (in this version, if the prisoner initially tries door 1, for example, then when he returns to the cell, he will now select only from doors 2 and 3.) (c) for parts (a) and (b), find the variance of the number of days until the prisoner reaches freedom. hint for part (b): define ni to be the number of additional days the prisoner spends after initially choosing door i and returning to his cell.
