Final Review CH 5-6Name: ___________________________ Period: ___________Multiple ChoiceIdentify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.____1.If the individual outcomes of a phenomenon are uncertain, but there is nonetheless a regular distribution of outcomes in a large number of repetitions, we say the phenomenon isa.random.b.predictable.c.uniform.d.probable.e.normal.____2.When two coins are tossed, the probability of getting two heads is 0.25. This means thata.of every 100 tosses, exactly 25 will have two heads.b.the odds against two heads are 4 to 1.c.in the long run, the average number of heads when two coins are tossed is 0.25.d.in the long run two heads will occur on 25% of all tosses of two coins.e.if you get two heads on each of the first five tosses of the coins, you are unlikely to get heads the fourth time.____3.A ten-sided die has each of the digits from 0 to 9 on one of its faces. Which of the following best describes what it means to say that the probability of rolling a 3 is 0.1?a.If you roll the die thousands of times, the proportion of times that you roll a 3 will be close to 0.1.b.If you roll the die 10 times, one of the rolls will be a 3.c.If you roll the die 10,000 times, 1000 of the rolls will be 3’s.d.It would be impossible to roll the die 25 times and not get any 3’s.e.If the first two rolls are 3’s, the probability of rolling a 3 on the next roll is slightly less than 0.1.____4.A basketball player makes 160 out of 200 free throws. We would estimate the probability that the player makes his next free throw to bea.0.16.b.50-50; either he makes it or he doesn’t.c.0.80.d.1.2.e.80.____5.A box has 10 tickets in it, two of which are winning tickets. You draw a ticket at random. If it's a winning ticket, you win. If not, you get another chance, as follows: your losing ticket is replaced in the box by a winning ticket (so now there are 10 tickets, as before, but 3 of them are winning tickets). You get to draw again, at random. Which of the following are legitimate methods for using simulation to estimate the probability of winning? I. Choose, at random, a two-digit number. If the first digit is 0 or 1, you win on the first draw; If the first digit is 2 through 9, but the second digit is 0, 1, or 2, you win on the second draw. Any other two-digit number means you lose.II. Choose, at random, a one-digit number. If it is 0 or 1, you win. If it is 2 through 9, pick a second number. If the second number is 8, 9, or 0, you win. Otherwise, you lose.III. Choose, at random, a one-digit number. If it is 0 or 1, you win on the first draw. If it is 2, 3, or 4, you win on the second draw; If it is 5 through 9, you lose.a.I onlyb.II onlyc.III onlyd.I and IIe.I, II, and III____6.A basketball player makes 2/3 of his free throws. To simulate a single free throw, which of the following assignments of digits to making a free throw are appropriate?
