Question 2
From the information provided, create the sample space of possible outcomes. Two white mice mate. The male has both a white and a black fur-color gene. The female has only white fur-color genes. The fur color of the offspring depends on the pairs of fur-color genes that they receive. Assume that neither the white nor the black gene dominates. List the possible outcomes.

Question 4
Find the indicated probability. Round to the nearest thousandth. In a batch of 8,000 clock radios 5% are defective. A sample of 14 clock radios is randomly selected without replacement from the 8,000 and tested. The entire batch will be rejected if at least one of those tested is defective. What is the probability that the entire batch will be rejected?

Question 10
Determine whether the given procedure results in a binomial distribution. If not, state the reason why. Rolling a single "loaded" die 50 times, keeping track of the "fives" rolled.
Not binomial: there are too many trials.
Procedure results in a binomial distribution.
Not binomial: there are more than two outcomes for each trial.
Not binomial: the trials are not independent.
Question 11
Assume that a procedure yields a binomial distribution with a trial repeated n times. Use the binomial probability formula to find the probability of x successes given the probability p of success on a single trial. Round to three decimal places. n = 14, x = 6 , p = 0.5

Question 16
Given the linear correlation coefficient r and the sample size n, determine the critical values of r and use your finding to state whether or not the given r represents a significant linear correlation. Use a significance level of 0.05. r = 0.75, n = 9
Critical values: r = ±0.666, no significant linear correlation
Critical values: r = 0.666, no significant linear correlation
Critical values: r = -0.666, no significant linear correlation
Critical values: r = ±0.666, significant linear correlation
