question 9

Multiple Choice

A book about bridge says that the probability that each of the four players is dealt exactly one ace is about 0.11. To simulate an outcome with probability 0.11, a person could do which of the following simulations:

• A) Simulation 1: look at two digits in the random number table; the outcome occurs if the digits are 11.
• B) Simulation 2: look at two digits in the random number table; the outcome occurs if the digits are any of 00, 01, ... , 11.
• C) Simulation 3: look at two digits in the random number table; the outcome occurs if the digits are any of 00, 01, ... , 10.
• D) Simulation 4: look at two digits in the random number table; the outcome occurs if the digits are any of 01, 02, ... , 11.
• E) Both Simulations 3 and 4 are correct simulations.

Definitions:

Signal-Detection Analysis

A statistical method used to determine the ability to differentiate between information-bearing patterns and random patterns that distract from the information.

Sensitive

Sensitive refers to the ability to perceive or feel things deeply or to respond quickly to stimuli, often associated with acute physical or emotional sensitivity.

Signal

A form of communication or indicator that carries information or instructions, often causing a response in the receiver.

Transduction

The conversion of one form of energy into another, such as transforming physical stimuli into neural signals in sensory systems.
