During an experiment, a spinner landed on green 9 times, which resulted in an experimental probability of StartFraction 1 over 6 EndFraction. Mary said that there must have been 45 trials in the experiment. Why is Mary incorrect? If there were 9 occurrences and 45 trials, the simplified experimental probability would be One-fifth, not StartFraction 1 over 6 EndFraction.
Mary multiplied the 9 occurrences by 6 instead of 5.
Mary mistakenly thought that StartFraction 1 over 6 EndFraction was the simplest form of StartFraction 9 over 45 EndFraction.
If there were 9 occurrences, the simplified experimental probability would be StartFraction 1 over 7 EndFraction, not StartFraction 1 over 6 EndFraction.

(20 points) a bank has been receiving complaints from real estate agents that their customers have been waiting too long for mortgage confirmations. the bank prides itself on its mortgage application process and decides to investigate the claims. the bank manager takes a random sample of 20 customers whose mortgage applications have been processed in the last 6 months and finds the following wait times (in days): 5, 7, 22, 4, 12, 9, 9, 14, 3, 6, 5, 15, 10, 17, 12, 10, 9, 4, 10, 13 assume that the random variable x measures the number of days a customer waits for mortgage processing at this bank, and assume that x is normally distributed. 2a. find the sample mean of this data (x ě…). 2b. find the sample variance of x. find the variance of x ě…. for (c), (d), and (e), use the appropriate t-distribution 2c. find the 90% confidence interval for the population mean (îľ). 2d. test the hypothesis that îľ is equal to 7 at the 95% confidence level. (should you do a one-tailed or two-tailed test here? ) 2e. what is the approximate p-value of this hypothesis?
