Q1.) Dr. Icit is conducting and ESP experiment. A computer is used to randomly select and present a number one of five pictures (house, boat, shoe, people, or horse).

a.) What is the probability that a subject would guess correctly on the very first trial?

b.) What is the probability that a subject would guess more than 36 correct in a series of 60 trials?

c.) What is the probability that a subject would guess exactly 30 correct out of 60 trials?

Q2.) For a normal population with a mean=600 and a standard deviation=30.

a.) What is the probability of obtaining a sample mean greater than 606 for a sample of n=9?

b.) What is the probability of obtaining a sample mean greater than 606 for a sample of n=25?

c.) What is the probability of obtaining a sample mean that is more than 593 and less than 607 for a sample of n=36?
