- The following problem submitted by Daniel Hahn of Blairstown, Iowa, appeared in the Ask Marilyn column of Parade magazine. Source: Parade magazine. You discover two booths at a carnival. Each is tended by an honest man with a pair of covered coin shakers. In each shaker is a single coin, and you are allowed to bet upon the chance that both coins in that booths shakers are heads after the man in the booth shakes them, does an inspection, and can tell you that at least one of the shakers contains a head. The difference is that the man in the first booth always looks inside both of his shakers, whereas the man in the second booth looks inside only one of the shakers.

A random group(1) of 50 students were not contacted and she found that 17 remembered their reviews on test day. Another random group(2) of 60 students were contacted and reminded to bring their review to Statistics class and she was happy to notice that 26 brought the review Select the correct type of test for the problem. 2 Samp T Test 2 Prop Z Test T Test 2 Samp Z Test Choose the correct combination of the null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis.

Charmaine has two ways to travel from her home in Norco to her office in Los Angeles. One is to go via the San Bernardino Freeway, and the other is to go via the Pomona Freeway. Recently, a lane was added to the San Bernardino Freeway. So, Charmaine wants to determine if it is now faster to take the San Bernardino Freeway than the Pomona Freeway. She selected a random sample of 12 of her trips via the San Bernardino Freeway and a random sample of 12 of her trips via the Pomona Freeway. The two samples were chosen separately, so that the selection of the trips via the San Bernardino Freeway did not affect the selection of the trips via the Pomona Freeway. Charmaine recorded the travel times (in minutes) for the trips in each of the two samples. The following table gives the data, sample means, and sample standard deviations. S.B.
