Classic Probability
There are 20 random box lunches at a
conference for teachers. They are all the same
except 10 of the lunches have peanut butter
cookies, 5 have snicker doodle cookies, and
the last 5 boxes have chocolate chip. Knowing
this a math teacher realizes that he has a 25%
chance of randomly picking a box with a
chocolate chip cookie. What type of
probability did the teacher use?

A. Subjective Probability
B. Empirical Probability
C. Theoretical Probability
D. Authentic Probability

In a study of the relationship between socio-economic class and unethical behavior, 129 university of california undergraduates at berkeley were asked to identify themselves as having low or high social-class by comparing themselves to others with the most (least) money, most (least) education, and most (least) respected jobs. they were also presented with a jar of individually wrapped candies and informed that the candies were for children in a nearby laboratory, but that they could take some if they wanted. after completing some unrelated tasks, participants reported the number of candies they had taken. it was found that those who were identiď¬ed as upper-class took more candy than others. in this study, identify: (a) the cases, (b) the variables and their types, (c) the main research question, (d) identify the population of interest and the sample in this study, and (e) comment on whether or not the results of the study can be generalized to the population, and if the ď¬ndings of the study can be used to establish causal relationships.
