16. Mimi just started her tennis class three weeks ago. On average, she is able to return 20% of her opponent's serves.

Assume her opponent serves 8 times. Show all work. Just the answer, without supporting work, will receive no credit.

(a) Let X be the number of returns that Mimi gets. As we know, the distribution of X is a binomial probability distribution. What

is the number of trials (n), probability of successes (p) and probability of failures (q), respectively?

(b)  Find the probability that that she returns at least 1 of the 8 serves from her opponent.

 (c) How many serves can she expect to return?

22. Consumption of a large amount of alcohol is known to increase reaction time. To investigate the effects of small amounts

of alcohol, reaction time was recorded for five individuals before and after 2 ounces of alcohol was consumed by each. Does the

data below suggest that the consumption of 2 ounces of alcohol increases mean reaction time?

Assume we want to use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim.

• Identify the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis.
• Determine the test statistic. Show all work; writing the correct test statistic, without  supporting work, will receive no credit. 
• Determine the p-value. Show all work; writing the correct critical value, without  supporting work, will receive no credit. 

Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that the consumption of 2 ounces of alcohol increases mean reaction time?
