Joe swims 2000 yards each day. For 23 days, he records his time (in minutes) and his pulse rate (in beats per minute) at the end of the 2000 yards. He finds a linear correlation. The equation of the least squares line is
pulse rate =209.9-0.695 (time) .
John and Janet Fonda, siblings and actors, decide to retire after years on the road. They remember a town in New Jersey they were familiar with from their travels. From the internet, they learn of a farm a few miles outside of town that seems ideal. There is a great house and lots of land. The Fondas wish to convert the farm to a restaurant-hotel with a dinner theater. They contact the realtor by phone, and make arrangements to buy the parcel. The Fondas plan on traveling to New Jersey prior to the closing to look things over, but are unable to do so due to their touring schedule. The realtor, whose commission is technically paid by the proceeds to the seller, and who has a listing contract with the seller, advises the Fondas that she will handle everything. New Jersey custom, law, and practice does not require a purchaser of land to have an attorney. The realtor does only the bare minimum needed for title to transfer to the Fondas. On their behalf, she only has a minimal title search and minimal inspections done, and she obtains a minimal coverage title insurance policy. As the area near the farm was once occupied by a large chemical plant, when the realtor represents local purchasers, as a precaution, she advises the buyers to get the maximum possible title search and title insurance, and to get all possible inspections done. It is her regular practice to caution local purchasers who she represents about the former chemical plant.After closing on the property, the Fondas learn of the old chemical plant. They seek your advice as to their liability and the liability of any other parties

Joe Mauer of the Minnesota Twins had the highest batting average in the 2009 Major League Baseball season. His average was .461. So assume the probability of getting a hit is .461 for each time he batted. In a particular game, assume he batted four times.(b)
John and Andrew Doney invented a device for balancingrotors. Although they registered their inventionwith the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, itwas never put on the market as an automobile wheelbalancer. Some time later, Exetron Corp. producedan automobile wheel balancer that used a device similarto that of the Doneys. Given the fact that theDoneys had not put the patented product in commerce,does Exetron’s use of a similar device infringeon the Doneys’ patent? Explain your answer.
Joe Lucky plays the lottery on any given week with probability p, independently of whether he played on any other week. Each time he plays, he has a probability q of winning, again independently of everything else. During a fixed time period of n weeks, let X be the number of weeks that he played the lottery and Y be the number of weeks that he won.(a) What is the probability that he played the lottery on any particular week, given that he did not win on that week?(b) Find the conditional PMF pY | X (y | x). (c) Find the joint PMF pX,Y (x, y).(d) Find the marginal PMF pY (y). Hint: One possibility is to start with the answer to part (c), but the algebra can be messy. But if you think intuitively about the procedure that generates Y , you may be able to guess the answer.(e) Find the conditional PMF pX | Y (x | y). Do this algebraically using the preceding answers.(f) Rederive the answer to part (e) by thinking as follows: for each one of the n−Y weeks that he did not win, the answer to part (a) should tell you something.
