EXAMINING RELATIONSHIPS CHECKPOINT 2 
Step 1 of 1 
Question 1 of 7 
Seat belts are supposed to save lives. Here are the results of a 1988 study of 
accident records conducted by the Florida State Department of Highway 
Safety. The researchers classified people in vehicles involved in accidents as 
having worn seat belts or not. 
The following two-way table gives the results of the study: 
Accident 
Nonfatal 
Seat Belt? Yes 
No 
Total 574,895 
In this example, it would be appropriate to calculate...

SAMPLING CHECKPOINT 
Step 1 of 1 
Question 1 of 7 
When conducting a survey, it is important to use a random sample: 
 to ensure truthful answers to the survey's questions. 
 so that we can make causal conclusions. 
 to avoid bias and to get a representative sample. 
 to get a significant result. 
 none of the above. 
Good job! Random selection ensures that the sample 
is unbiased and represents the population, so that the results of the study can 
be generalized to the population.

DESIGNING STUDIES CHECKPOINT 1 
Step 1 of 1 
Question 1 of 7 
The most important reason for the use of random allocation of subjects to the 
different treatments is: 
 to ensure that each subject in the trial receives the best possible 
treatment. 
 to guarantee that approximately the same number of subjects is 
assigned to each treatment group. 
 to protect the experimenters from legal action in the event that the 
experiment goes drastically awry. 
 to ensure that the different treatment group...

MAT 202 INTRODUCTION TO PROBABILITY QUIZ (Straighterline)
INTRODUCTION TO PROBABILITY 
Step 1 of 1 
Question 1 of 7 
Which of the following is NOT a legitimate probability of an event? 
0.999 
0.001 
 
1.001 
1.0 
 
0.0 
 
Correct. 1.001 is not a legitimate probability of an event since probability 
cannot be a number that is larger than 1. 
Question 2 of 7 
Suppose that P(A) = 0.03. Which of the following best describes event A? 
Event A will never occur 
Event A will not occur more often than it will occur, but it is very likely. 
Event A is very unl...

MAT 202 PROBABILITY CHECKPOINT 1 QUIZ (Straighterline)
A family plans to have 3 children. For each birth, assume that the probability 
of a boy is the same as the probability of a girl. 
What is the probability that they will have at least one boy and at least one 
girl? 
 0.5 
 0.125 
 0.75 
 0.875 
 none of these 
Good job! Since the outcomes are equally likely, the easiest way to work this 
problem is to write out the 8 outcomes in this sample space. In two of these 
outcomes the genders of all three children are the same (GGG, BBB). The 
other 6...

PROBABILITY CHECKPOINT 2 
Step 1 of 1 
Question 1 of 11 
A fair die is rolled 12 times. Consider the following three possible outcomes: 
(i) 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 
(ii) 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 
(iii) 4 6 2 1 3 5 2 6 4 3 1 5 
Which of the following is true? 
 It is absolutely impossible to get sequence (i). 
 (ii) is more likely than (i). 
 (iii) is more likely than (i) or (ii). 
 The three outcomes are equally likely. 
 Both (B) and (C) are true. 
Good job! The die is fair. This means that all...

CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY AND INDEPENDENCE 
CHECKPOINT 2 
Step 1 of 1 
Question 1 of 5 
These days with the cost of a college education it is important to be able to 
graduate with a bachelors degree in 4 years. The National Association of 
Independent Colleges and Universities (NAICU) certainly would encourage 
students to attend independent schools. They provided the following 
information: 
(i) 
20% of all college students attend private colleges and universities. 
(ii) 55% of all college stude...

MAT 202 RANDOM VARIABLES CHECKPOINT 1 QUIZ (Straighterline)
RANDOM VARIABLES CHECKPOINT 1 
Step 1 of 1 
The first three questions refer to the following information: 
The random variable X, representing the number of accidents in a certain intersection in a week, has the 
following probability distribution: 
x 0 1 2 
P(X=x) 0.20 0.30 0.20 
Question 1 of 4 
What is the probability that in a given week there will be at most 3 accidents? 
 0.70 
 0.85 
 0.35 
 0.15 
 1.00 
Good job! P(X ≤ 3) = .20 + .30 + .20 + .15 = .85 or P(X ≤ 3) = 1 - P(X ≤ 4) = 1...
