BONUS 1) You take the Math Time Machine into the past to save Julius Caesar and fix the calendar, but you miss your timestamp and end up in Alexandria a few years early. You wander around before
ending up in front of the Great Library of Alexandria, which is guarded by a sphinx - known in
mythology for their tricky riddles. When you ask the sphinx what year it is, it refuses to answer
unless you solve a math problem. The sphinx shows you a right triangle with a base of 8 and a height
of 6, which you know has an area of 24. Then it tells you that if you that you can remove some
length x off of the 8 side, but if you do that you must add a rectangle under the 8 side with a height
equal to x, thus creating a trapezoid. How much length must you remove from the 8 side so the
trapezoid has the same area as the original triangle? X = 0 doesn't count.
a) X = 2
b) X = 3
c) X = 4
d) X = 5

Suppose that 3% of all athletes are using the endurance-enhancing hormone epo (you should be able to simply compute the percentage of all athletes that are not using epo). for our purposes, a “positive” test result is one that indicates presence of epo in an athlete’s bloodstream. the probability of a positive result, given the presence of epo is .99. the probability of a negative result, when epo is not present, is .90. what is the probability that a randomly selected athlete tests positive for epo? 0.0297

Aprobability experiment is conducted in which the sample space of the experiment is s={7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18 }, event f={7,8,9,10,11,12}, and event g={11,12,13,14}. assume that each outcome is equally likely. list the outcomes in f or g. find p(f or g) by counting the number of outcomes in f or g. determine p(f or g) using the general addition rule.
