Suppose that a quiz consists of 20 True-False questions. A student hasn't studied for the exam and will just randomly guesses at all answers (with True and False equally likely). How would you find the probability that the will student get 8 or fewer answers correct?
 a. Find the probability that X = 8 in a binomial distribution with n = 20 and p = 0.5.
  b. Find the area between 0 and 8 in a uniform distribution that goes from 0 to 20.
  c. Find the probability that X = 8 for a normal distribution with mean of 10 and standard deviation of .
  d. Find the cumulative probability for 8 in a binomial distribution with n = 20 and p = 0.5.

Question 2

Conscientiousness is a tendency to show self-discipline, act dutifully, and aim for achievement. The trait shows a preference for planned rather than spontaneous behavior. A random sample of 650 students is asked to fill out the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI) to measure their level of conscientiousness. The 300 undergraduate students scored an average of 145 with a standard deviation of 16 . The 350 graduate students had a mean score of 153 with a standard deviation of 21 . What is the standard error for the difference between the two sample means?
 a. 18.5
  b. 2.11
  c. 1.45
  d. 2.05

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.
