3. In testing a new drug, researchers found that 10% of all patients using it will have a mild side effect. A random sample of 14 patients using the drug is selected. Find the probability that:

(A) exactly two will have this mild side effect
(B) at least three will have this mild side effect.

4. Find the mean and standard deviation of the following probability distribution:

x 1 2 3
P(x) 0.1 0.6 0.3

5. Construct a scatterplot for the (x, y) values below, and answer the following questions. You do NOT need to submit your scatterplot with your answer; however, show all other work.
x y
1 7.0
2 13.0
3 19.0
4 25.0
5 31.0

- What would be the slope of this regression line?
- Would the correlation between x and y be positive or negative?
- How would you interpret these data in terms of linear regression?

6. Please answer the following questions regarding the graph below:
? What percentage of the grand total of students are males in the criminal justice program?
? Which programs tend to have more males than females in them?
? List the percentages of students in each major area as compared to the grand total.

7. How many green elements are required to make this a legitimate probability distribution if there are a total of 50 elements in this sample?
x red blue orange brown green
