The number of books sold over the course of the four-day book fair were 194, 197, 247,
  and 76. Assume that samples of size 2 are randomly selected with replacement from this
  population of four values.
 
  List the different possible samples, and find the mean of each of
  them.

Question 2

Suppose that you roll a die and record the number that comes up and then flip a coin and record whether it comes up heads or tails. One possible outcome can be represented as 2H (a two on the die followed by heads).
 
  Make a list of all the possible outcomes. What is the probability that you get tails and an even number? What assumption are you making when you find this probability?

Answer to Question 1

Possible samples: 194-194; 194-197; 194-247; 194-76; 197-194; 197-197; 197-247; 197-76; 247-194; 247-197; 247-247;
247-76; 76-194; 76-197; 76-247; 76-76
Means: 194, 195.5, 220.5, 135, 195.5, 197, 222, 136.5, 220.5, 222, 247, 161.5, 135, 136.5, 161.5, 76

Answer to Question 2

The possible outcomes are 1H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, 1T, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T, 6T.
The probability of tails and an even number is 0.25. This assumes that all outcomes are equally likely which means that the die and the coin must be fair.

Over time, chronic hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections can progress to advanced liver disease, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Unlike other forms, more than 80% of hepatitis C infections become chronic and lead to liver disease. When combined with hepatitis B, hepatitis C now accounts for 75% percent of all cases of liver disease around the world. Liver failure caused by hepatitis C is now leading cause of liver transplants in the United States.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
