A fair coin has come up "heads" 10 times in a row.  The probability that the coin will come up heads on the next flip is:

• greater than 50%, it's due to happen.
• 50%
• less than 50%, since tails is happening so much.
• Can't be determined

A company states that 2% of its computers are returned for defects.  We take a sample of 100 computers to find the probability of 10 being defective.  Is this a binomial distribution?

• No because there is not a fixed number of trials.
• No because their are more than 2 outcomes.
• Yes since there are a fixed number of independent trials, outcomes in 2 categories, and the probability of defect is constant.
• No since computers would not be independent.

A newborn baby has extremely low birth weight (ELBW) if it weighs less than 1000 grams. A study of the health of such children in later years examined a random sample of 219 children. Their mean weight at birth was x̄ = 810 grams. This sample mean is an unbiased estimator of the mean weight in the population of all ELBW babies, which means that

• In all possible samples of size 219 from the population, the mean of the values of will equal 810.

• In all possible samples of size 219 from this population, the mean of the values of will equal μ

• As we take larger and larger samples from this population, x̄ will get closer and closer to μ .

• In all possible samples of size 219 from the population, the values of will have a distribution that is close to Normal.

• The person measuring the children’s weights does so without any error.

Why is it important to check the 10% condition before calculating probabilities involving x̄?

• To reduce the variability of the sampling distribution of x̄

• To ensure that the distribution of x̄ is approximately Normal

• To ensure that we can generalize the results to a larger population

• To ensure that x̄ will be an unbiased estimator of μ.

• To ensure that the observations in the sample are close to independent.
