b.      you draw two cards from a deck and both of them are hearts?
2.      Assume adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.
a.       Find the probability that a randomly selected adult has IQ < 115
b.      Find the probability that a randomly selected adult has IQ > 70
c.       Find P30,which is the IQ separating the bottom 30% from the top 70%
3.      a.  When would the mean grade in a class on a final exam be considered a statistic?
b.  When  would it be considered a parameter?
c..  Define bias in  terms of expected value.
b.       Is it possible for a statistic to be unbiased yet very imprecise? Can it be accurate but biased?
4. a.  Why is a  99% confidence interval wider than a 95% confidence interval?
b.  When you  construct a 95% confidence interval, what are you 95% confident about?

Re: Help Maths

Hi;

Do you have any work we can look at?

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
