Question

T      F       8. You decide to throw threecoins in the air at once and record the
                        face up side of the coins after they land. The sample space ofthe
                        experiment is composed of three elements.

T      F       9. Two fair coins are tossedat the same time. The probability that
                        both show heads is 0.5

T      F       10. In a sample of 100 childbearing mothers, 45 had a girl, 47 had a
                          boy and 8 had twin girls. If one of the children is selectedat                 
                          random, there is a 47% chance it is a boy.

T      F       11. The probability thatX takes on a value that is between 3 and
                          inclusive of 4 can be written as P(3<x4).

T      F       12. Professor Stats hasdecided that no one will get an A unless the
                          final exam score is at least 1.5 standard deviations above the                
                          mean. Given a mean score of 75 and a standard deviation of10, a               
                          final exam score must be 90 or more to receive an A

T      F       13. If two sample means areidentical, then the ration of the two
                         sample variances will equal 1.

T      F       14. The mean of all possiblesample means is equal to the population
                          mean.

T      F       15. If the upper bound of aconfidence interval is added to the lower
                          bound, the sum is the sample mean.
