Suppose a sample space has things a, b, and c. Twice, draw from
the sample space and replace. The possible sequences formed
are {aa, ab, ac, ba, bb, bc, ca, cb, cc}.
Now suppose there are Y different things. There are Y ways the
first draw can occur. For each of the Y ways the first draw can
occur, there are Y ways the second draw can occur, resulting in
Y times Y, or Y2 sequences. For each of the Y2 sequences formed
from 2 draws, there are Y ways the 3rd draw can occur forming
Y3 sequences. Generalizing, there are YX sequences formed by
drawing X times from Y different things with replacement.

Example: The number of state license plates that can be made

with 3 letters followed by 3 numbers is 26 x 26 x 26 x 10 x 10 x
10 = 263 x 103 = 17,576,000. From this one style of plate, there
are many sequences.

How many sequences of 5 things can be formed from 8 different

things with replacement and order is important?
Answer:
32,768

When drawing with replacement and order is important, YX sequences of X things can be formed
from Y different things.

If you toss a die twice, what is the sample space if you want to
restrict the results to only the outcomes where adding the
results of the two throws together equals seven? For example, if
you get 1 on the first toss and 6 on the second toss, these two
tosses meet the criteria.

A) S = (1,6), (2,5), (3,4)

B) S = {(1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1)}

C) S = {2,5), (5,2), (1,6), (6,1)}

D) S = {7}

E) S = {(1,6), (2,5), (3,4)}

lung cancer, that 90% of adults who have lung cancer will test
positive (called a true positive), and that 8% percent of adults

false positive). What is the probability of actually having lung
cancer if an adult tests positive for lung cancer?

Question 21 4.285714286 / 5 points

Select all the true statements about the normal probability
distribution.

The random variable takes any value.

The mean, median, and mode are equal.

Standardizing an observation of any normal distribution allows the use of the

standard normal (Z) distribution tables.

The area under the bell curve is 1 exactly.

The random variable does not take any value. It takes discrete values like the
binomial distribution.

The distribution has one mode and has positive skew.

The distribution has one mode and is bell shaped.
