Match each of the four female participants (Cathy, Mary, Nancy, and Susan) with one of the four male participants (Bill, John, Robert, and Sam) so that the number of people who are matched with a compatible pair is maximized. The following compatibility results have been decided according to the viewers' votes: Cathy is compatible with John and Robert. Mary is compatible with Robert and Sam. Nancy is compatible with Bill, Robert, and Sam. Susan is compatible with Bill and John. Explain your strategy for choosing the optimal matching scenario.

Four puppies, Bruno, Kitty, O'Reilly, and Sweetie, competed in the Annual Puppies of the World Fair. Prizes were awarded for the top three competitors as follows: first place received a Red Ribbon, second place received a Yellow Ribbon, and third place received a Blue Ribbon. Three members of the audience predicted how the prizes would be awarded. • Lucie predicted that Sweetie would win a Red Ribbon, Kitty would win a Yellow Ribbon, and O'Reilly would win a Blue Ribbon. • Jenn predicted that Bruno would win a Red Ribbon, Sweetie would win a Yellow Ribbon, and O'Reilly would win a Blue Ribbon. • Brenton predicted that Kitty would win a Red Ribbon, Bruno would win a Yellow Ribbon, and Sweetie would win a Blue Ribbon. It turns out that each audience member predicted exactly one prize winner correctly. Determine which dog won which prize.
Sally Firefly purchases hardwood lumber for a custom furniture-building shop. She uses three suppliers, Northern Hardwoods, Mountain Top, and Spring Valley. Lumber is classified as either clear or has defects, which includes 20% of the pile. A recent analysis of the defect lumber pile showed that 30% came from Northern Hardwoods and 50% came from Mountain Top. Analysis of the clear pile indicates that 40% came from Northern and 40% came from Spring Valley. What is the percent of clear lumber from each of the three suppliers? What is the percent of lumber from each of the three suppliers?

A small coffee shop sells freshly squeezed juices in a refrigerated unit with slots where juice is displayed. These slots are called facings. The manager of the coffee shop suspects that the distribution of juice sales is different than the distribution of facings for each type of juice, so the manager records the sales of each juice over a two-week period. The proportion of facings and the sales for each type of juice are shown in the tables. Does the coffee shop owner have sufficient evidence to conclude that the distribution of sales is proportional to the number of facings at a 5 percent level of significance? Conduct the appropriate statistical test to support your conclusion.
In one of the games in the Statistics Games, a team of students is chosen from each instructor’s sections. 3 students will be chosen for each team. Dr. Matos has three statistics sections. The Green section has 32 students, the Blue section has 30 students, and the Red section has 9 students. A colored ball for each student is placed into a large jar. 3 balls are drawn from the jar to pick the 3 students who will represent Dr. Matos’s classes in the game. What is the probability that all 3 students are from the Blue section, if the balls are selected with replacement? A 0.4225 B 0.0916 C 1.2676 D 0.0710 E 0.0754
A shoe company wants to test an updated model of a running shoe on its wear after one month of running. Which of the following describes a matched pairs design? They recruit 50 people who run on a regular basis to participate in their study. They will have the runners wear the shoes when they run for two months. After two O The subjects are numbered 1-50, and these numbers are put into a random number generator. The first 25 random numbers, ignoring repeats, represent the subjects assigned to the new model group. The remaining 25 subjects will wear the original model. months, the wear on the shoes will be determined using the depth of the tread and flexibility of the toe box. The wear between the new model and the original model will then be compared. The subjects' names are written on equal-sized slips of paper and placed into a hat. A researcher then reaches in and pulls out 25 slips of paper. These subjects are assigned to the new model group. The remaining 25 subjects will be…
A study was conducted to investigate whether local car mechanics charge women more than men for a transmission repair. The researcher selected randomly one man and one woman from everyone who had used the same mechanic for the same transmission repair. The process was repeated for a total of seven selected randomly cars. The repair prices and the differences are shown in the table.
