Question

data gathering and inferential statistics
you want to simulate the assertion that 90% of the time, you pick the longest line in the grocery store. if the numbers 0 to 8 represent long lines, then based on the simulation data below, can you ever choose a short line on two consecutive visits?
2 2 0 3 2 4 7 7 1 4 8 3 9 6 4 8 5 9 1 9
yes.
no.
yes, but only if you change your mind and say that the numbers 2 and 7 represent short lines.
4 of 4
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Define short line number

The problem states numbers 0-8 = long lines, so only number 9 = short line.

Step2: Check consecutive short lines

Scan the sequence: 2 2 0 3 2 4 7 7 1 4 8 3 9 6 4 8 5 9 1 9. Look for two consecutive 9s. There are no back-to-back 9s in the sequence.

Answer:

No.
