100 college students on campus for the first time participate in a study of navigation strategies. Each student is given a map of campus, then told to find
their way to a specific location however they choose. The researchers then observe whether the students check the map or ask directions first. 36 female
students asked directions first and 21 checked the map first. 14 male students asked directions and 29 checked the map first.
Suppose one of these students is selected randomly, and consider the following events:
F = the student is female
M = the student is male
А. = the student asked directions first
C = the student checked the map first

A box contains 200 balls: 175 are red, 20 are orange, 4 are blue, and 1 is green. One ball is pulled from the box at random. If it is red, you lose $2. If it is
orange, you win $4. If it is blue, you win $17. If it is green, you win $170. Let X = the amount you win, in dollars (so X is negative if you lose). Complete

• Column labels go in the first row.

b. What percent of Silver-line passengers will get to the airport in under 24 minutes?
c. What percent of passengers take more than 28 minutes to get to the airport?

You will see Quiz 9 assigned in WebWork. It will appear as Take Q9 test.
Notes
• WebWork expects you to get your probabilities and percentile z-scores from the tables posted here on Blackboard. It is possible to use RStudio or some calculators to get
better answers, but WebWork won’t recognize those as correct.
Remember, if you calculate a probability as a decimal, you need to round to 4 decimal places. If you give the answer as a percent, your percent should have 2 decimal
places.
