Black Marble Points

S
Since E(black) = 0.24 and E(red) = 0.16, Seth should choose to play black marbles.
E
E(red) will be twice that of E(black), so Seth should choose to play red marbles.
S
Since E(red) = E(black), it is a fair game, so it doesn’t matter which color Seth chooses.
B
Both options will lose points because there are two ways to lose points and only one way to gain points. He should choose neither color.

A
He can conclude that the summers have been warmer than the 30-year average.
B
He can conclude that the summers will continue to be warmer for the next 10 years.
C
He does not have enough information to make a decision.
D

In Juneau, Alaska, the 30-year annual snowfall average is 86.7 inches with a standard deviation of 40.4 inches. The last four years saw an average annual snowfall of 115.7 inches, 62.9 inches, 168.5 inches, and 135.7 inches. Hia performs a hypothesis test on this data to determine if the next 30-year norm will have a different average if the trend from the last four years continues. She uses a significance level of 5%. Which of the following is a conclusion that she may make?

A
The z-statistic is 1.44, so the null hypothesis cannot be rejected.
B
The z-statistic is 1.68, so the null hypothesis cannot be rejected.
C
The z-statistic is 1.85, so the null hypothesis should be rejected.
D
The z-statistic is 4.6, so the null hypothesis should be rejected.
