FRAPPY! and Wrap-Up!

A statistics teacher has 40 students in his class, 23 females and 17 males. At the beginning of class on a Monday, the teacher planned to spend time reviewing an assignment due that day. Unknown to the teacher, only 19 of the females and 11 of the males had completed the assignment. The teacher plans to randomly select students to do problems form the assignment on the whiteboard.

(a) What is the probability that a randomly selected student has completed the assignment?

(b) Are the events "selecting a female" and "selecting a student who completed the assignment" independent? Justify your answer.

Suppose that the teacher randomly selects 4 students to do a problem on the whiteboard and only 2 of the students had completed the assignment.

(c) Describe how to use a table of random digits to estimate the probability that 2 or fewer of the 4 randomly selected students completed the assignment.

(d) Complete three repetitions of your simulation using the random digits given and use the results to estimate the probability described in part (c).
