According to the document Market Survey of Long-Term Care Costs, published by the MetLife Mature Market Institute, the average cost of a private room in a nursing home was $239 per day in 2011. A random sample of 7 nursing homes yielded the following daily costs, in dollars, for a private room in a nursing home for this year: 265 283 266 366 243 334
213 266 140 276
292

At the 5% level of significance, does the data provide enough evidence to conclude that the mean cost of a private room in a nursing home this year has changed from the 2011 mean cost?

Afriend of mine is giving a dinner party. his current wine supply includes 10 bottles of zinfandel, 8 of merlot, and 11 of cabernet (he only drinks red wine), all from different wineries. (a) if he wants to serve 3 bottles of zinfandel and serving order is important, how many ways are there to do this? ways (b) if 6 bottles of wine are to be randomly selected from the 29 for serving, how many ways are there to do this? ways (c) if 6 bottles are randomly selected, how many ways are there to obtain two bottles of each variety? ways (d) if 6 bottles are randomly selected, what is the probability that this results in two bottles of each variety being chosen? (round your answer to three decimal places.) (e) if 6 bottles are randomly selected, what is the probability that all of them are the same variety? (round your answer to three decimal places.)
