.The article "Thrillers" (Newsweek, Apr. 22, 1985) states,"Surveys tell us that more than half of Amer- ca's college graduates are avid readers of mystery novels." Assume the true proportion is exactly 0.5. What is the probability that an SRS of 225 college graduates would give a sample proportion greater han 0.6?

In an article that appears on a website,† Carlton Gunn, a public defender in Seattle, Washington, wrote about how he uses statistics in his work as an attorney. He states the following. I personally have used statistics in trying to challenge the reliability of drug testing results. Suppose the chance of a mistake in the taking and processing of a urine sample for a drug test is just 1 in 100. And your client has a "dirty" (i.e., positive) test result. Only a 1 in 100 chance that it could be wrong? Not necessarily. If the vast majority of all tests given—say 99 in 100—are truly clean, then you get one false dirty and one true dirty in every 100 tests, so that half of the dirty tests are false. Define the following events as given below. TD = event that the test result is dirty TC = event that the test result is clean D = event that the person tested is actually dirty C = event that the person tested is actually clean (a) Using the information in the quote, compute the following…

What statistical term applies to each of the boldface numbers in the following quotes? Your options for each are odds, individual risk, and relative risk. 1. "In 2021, 8% of young adults used a hallucinogen in the past year, an all-time high, that study found. In comparison, only 5% of young adults reported using a hallucinogen in the past year in 2016, while only 3% used one in 2011." 2. In a sample cohort of older US adults it was found that those who didn't get their flu vaccinations were 1.4 times as likely than those who did get their vaccination to develop Alzheimer's disease. 3. "One-in-four U.S. parents say they've struggled to afford food or housing in the past year" 4. A study [from 17 national news outlets' Facebook posts from April 1 through June 30, 2018] showed that men appeared in Facebook news images at a 2 to 1 ratio compared to women. 5.

Annie is concerned over a report that "a woman over age 40 has a better chance of being killed by a terrorist than of getting married." A study found that the likelihood of marriage for a never-previously-wed, 40-year-old university-educated American woman was 2.4%. To demonstrate that this percentage is too small, Annie uses her resources at the Baltimore Sun to conduct a simple random sample of 440 never-previously-wed, university-educated, American women who were single at the beginning of their 40s and who are now 45. Of these women, 12 report now being married. Does this evidence support Annie’s claim, at the 0.02 level of significance, that the chances of getting married for this group is greater than 2.4%? Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places Step 3 of 3: Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.
The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health interviewed several thousand teens (grades 7 to 12). One question asked was “What do you think are the chances you will be married in the next 10 years?” Here is a two-way table of the responses by gender: Opinion Female Male Almost no chance 120 104 Some chance but probably not 141 158 A 50-50 chance 454 499 A good chance 742 729 Almost certain 1168 764 What percent of females thought that they were almost certain to be married in the next 10 years?

Use the following scenario to answer the next 6 questions: M&Ms are your favorite vending machine snack and you purchase them often. Lately, it seems like the bags have been having a disproportionate distribution of the colors. The company claims that 24% of the candies per bag should be blue. You decide to test this claim for yourself. You purchase a large bag and find that 38 of the 224 candies are blue. Before complaining to the company, you want to be fairly sure of your accusation, so you set a 1% significance level for your test. Do you have sufficient evidence that the color distribution is different than advertised? In this scenario, the decision to use a two-tailed versus a one-tailed test affected our ability to reject the null (and thus our conclusion). Group of answer choices True False
