1. True or False. Justify/Show all work

(a) If there is no linear correlation between two variables, then these two variables are not related in any way.

(b) If the variance from a data set is zero, then all the observations in this data set are identical.

(c) . P=(A-A) Where A is the complement of A.

(d) In a hypothesis testing, if the P-value is less than the significance level α, we reject the null hypothesis.

Consider selecting one card at a time from a 52-card deck. Let event A be the first card is an ace, and event B bethe second card is an ace. (Note: There are 4 aces in a deck of cards)

9. If the card selection is without replacement, what is the probability that the first card is an ace and the second card is also an ace? Express the answer in simplest fraction form

10. If the card selection is with replacement, what is the probability that the first card is an ace and the second card is also an ace? Express the answer in simplest fraction

11. Are A and B independent when the selection is with replacement? Why

There are 1000 juniors in a college. Among the 1000 juniors, 200 students are taking STAT200, and 100 students are taking PSYC300. There are 50 students taking both courses.

12. What is the probability that a randomly selected junior is taking at least one of these two courses?

13. What is the probability that a randomly selected junior is taking PSYC300, given that he/she is taking STAT200?

Mimi just started her tennis class three weeks ago. On average, she is able to return 20% of her opponent's serves. Assume her opponent serves 8 times. 18-20

18. Let X be the number of returns that Mimi gets. As we know, the distribution of X is a binomial probability distribution. What is the number of trials (n), probability of successes (p) and probability of failures (q), respectively?

19. Find the probability that that she returns at least 1 of the 8 serves from her opponent.

20. How many serves can she expect to return?
