In a random sample of 106 social (or service) robots designed to entertain, educate, and care for human users, 63 were built with legs only, 20 with wheels only, 8 with both legs and wheels, and 15 with neither legs nor wheels. One of the 106 social robots is randomly selected and the design (e.g., wheels only) is noted.
World鈥檚 largest public companies. Forbes (May 6, 2015) surveyed the 20 largest public companies in the world. Of these 20 companies, 4 were banking or investment companies based in the United States. A total of 9 U.S. companies were on the top 20 list. Suppose we select one of these 20 companies at random. Given that the company is based in the United States, what is the probability that it is a banking or investment company?
Patient medical instruction sheets. Physicians and pharmacists sometimes fail to inform patients adequately about the proper application of prescription drugs and about the precautions to take in order to avoid potential side effects. One method of increasing patients鈥� awareness of the problem is for physicians to provide patient medication instruction (PMI) sheets. The American Medical Association, however, has found that only 20% of the doctors who prescribe drugs frequently distribute PMI sheets to their patients. Assume that 20% of all patients receive the PMI sheet with their prescriptions and that 12% receive the PMI sheet and are hospitalized because of a drug-related problem. What is the probability that a person will be hospitalized for a drug-related problem given that the person received the PMI sheet?
Wine quality and soil.The Journal of Wine Research(Vol.21, 2010) published a study of the effects of soil and climate on the quality of wine produced in Spain. The soil at two vineyards鈥� Llarga and Solar鈥攚as the focus of the analysis.Wine produced from grapes grown in each of the two vineyards
was evaluated for each of three different years (growing seasons) by a wine-tasting panel. Based on the taste tests, the panel (as a group) selected the wine with the highest quality.
a.How many different wines were evaluated by the panel, where one wine was produced for each vineyard/growing season combination?
b.If the wines were all of equal quality, what is the probability that the panel selected a Llarga wine as the wine with the highest quality?
c.If the wines were all of equal quality, what is the probability that the panel selected a wine produced in year 3 as the wine with the highest quality?
d.The panel consisted of four different wine tasters who performed the evaluations independently of each other. If the wines were all of equal quality, what is the probability that all four tasters selected a Llarga wine as the wine with the highest quality?
