La Nina years do not always produce less rain, however, they often do, hence we should prepare for a draught, but not be surprised if one does not happen. Problem 4 A. At least 89% B. Roughly 99.7% Problem 5 A. 4 B. 4.5 C. 2 D. sqrt(2) = 1.414 E. The standard deviation would increase since that student would be far from the mean. Problem 6 A. Done in class B. B and C are mutually exclusive since if Dr. Rork attends to all three then Dr. Williams cannot attend to any. C. None are independent, since knowing A occurs, B must occur and C is less likely to occur. If B is known, then Midterm I Review Define the following terms. Compare and Contrast. Provide an example and write down the symbol for the term if possible.
