¶ … die is rolled. What is the probability that the number on top is the following?
Three can only come about once. Since the chances can be six, the probability is 1/6.
An odd number
There are three odd numbers, which are 1, 3, and 5. Therefore probability is 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 3/6
A number less than
There are four numbers less than five, which are 1, 2, 3 and 4
Therefore, the probability is 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 4/6
A number greater than
There are three numbers greater than 3, which are 4, 5, and 6. Therefore the probability is 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 3/6
What are the odds in favor of a high school female athlete being drafted by a pro-basketball team?
What are the odds against a female basketball player who makes a freshman college roster playing as a senior?
4,313
c. What is the probability of a high school female athlete being drafted by a pro-basketball team?
/ (452,929 + 1)
= 1 / 452,930
d. What is the probability of a NCAA senior female athlete being drafted by a pro-basketball team?
Odds = 1
Therefore, probability = 1 / 32 +1
= 1/33

Statistical Analysis of Police Arrest Decisions What are the central variables that Smith and Visher studied? Smith and Visher (1981) analyzed a series of independent variables that were found by previous studies to influence dependent variable 'likelihood of being arrested'. Although a Chi square test revealed several factors to be significantly associated with likelihood of being arrested (Table 1), the aim of their research was to reveal the relative contributions of the
Many patrons tip based on how quickly their food is delivered, and if it is hot or not, how it tastes, did it meet the patrons' expectations or not for this specific type of food, what is the frequency of the patrons' dining on this specific type of food. There are also an entire series of attitudinal questions regarding why this specific restaurant was chosen, and these could range from
Statistical analysis of the data is to be carried out using technique sof analyzing categorical data. In this process a contingency table analysis is employed in order to examine the nature of relationship existing between two categorical variables (financial stability and customer spending).In this process, the McNemer's test will be used in analyzing if the pair is dichotomous (Elliot & Woodword,2007,p.113).This test is done on the categorical variables in order
In addition to this analysis, the findings of the Pew Research Center's 2012 Values Survey, which observed that party affiliation ranks as the most influential demographic factor when determining value differentiation between individual voters, and that this political polarization has intensified during the last four election cycles. The fact that the most divisive cable news outlets, FOX News and MSNBC, both began broadcasting to a national audience in 1996
Statistical Analysis Reported in Two Journal Articles Research endeavors, albeit it clinical, empirical, descriptive, historical, or case study oriented, must at all times adhere to the rigors of effective or best-fit research practice. Without stringent controls placed on the area of investigation no research endeavor will advance any body of knowledge. To this end all research must be finely tuned and described as to intent or purpose, phenomenon to be
The median is the mid-point of a given data set; rather than the mean, which produces a single number that takes into account the extremes of the data set as well as the middle, the median tends to be more stable, finding the half-way point between extremes rather than directly incorporating them. For wage comparisons, especially over time, the median is useful and an excellent choice of statistical tool precisely
