Football is a very popular sport in the United States.The National Football League (NFL)is composed of 32 teams.Every year there is a football draft where players are selected for each of the teams.Football players in the United States can make millions of dollars and must be very good at the sport to make a team.Would being selected for an NFL team be considered a random phenomenon?

A)Yes,everyone is probably very good at football and would qualify for a team.
B)Yes,there are a large number of teams,which makes this a random phenomenon.
C)No,there are probably certain skill sets necessary for football that owners of teams are looking for in players.
D)No,if you really want to play football,you can probably join an NFL team.
No,there are probably certain skill sets necessary for football that owners of teams are looking for in players.

B)The word random in statistics is a description of a kind of order that emerges in the long run.
C)Probability describes only what happens in the long run.
D)In a small or moderate number of repetitions,the observed proportion of an outcome can be far from the probability of the outcome.
E)All of the above are appropriate statements.

There is a popular pizza restaurant on campus that many students frequent.One evening,your college sorority goes to the restaurant to celebrate the end of the semester.At the end of the evening,you are not feeling well and several of your sorority sisters do not feel well either.You suspect food poisoning from the restaurant is the culprit.Suppose your roommate is also sick and ate at the same restaurant on the same day as you.Would your roommate being sick be an example of a random phenomenon?

A)Yes,because more than one person is sick it must be a random phenomenon.
B)Yes,because you went to a random restaurant on campus.
C)No,since your roommate ate at the same restaurant,it is probably not a random phenomenon that she is sick.
D)No,everyone at the restaurant would have to be sick for it to be a random phenomenon.
