10. A survey is conducted in Chicago (population 2,800,000) using random-digit-dialing equipment that places calls at random to residential phones, both listed and unlisted. The purpose of the survey is to determine the percentage of adults who would favor a half-cent increase in the sales tax to help fund public transportation. Four hundred adults are interviewed and 36% of them favor the proposal. A second survey is taken in Dayton, Ohio, (population 180,000) using the same techniques and asking the same question of 400 adults living in Dayton. a. For the Chicago survey, identify the population, the sampling frame, the sample, the variable measured, the parameter of interest, and the corresponding statistic. b. The margin of error of the Chicago survey will be A. greater than the margin of error of the Daytön survey. B. about the same as the margin of error of the Dayton survey. C. less than the margin of error of the Dayton survey. Pick one and explain briefly.

1. The percentage of 12- to 17-year-olds who reported talking at least once in the past year with their parents about the dangers of drug, tobacco, or alcohol is 60% nationally. A state youth council believes this proportion is higher in their state, where there has been an intense media campaign about this issue. A survey of randomly chosen students from across the state shows 1032 of 1642 students reporting they are having these conversations with their parents. Is there evidence that the percent of students using drugs, tobacco or alcohol in this state is above the national rate?

In recent years, many states have enacted tougher voter identification laws requiring a government issued photo ID. Proponents claim that these laws are necessary to reduce voter fraud. Opponents claim that voter fraud is rare and that since as many as 11% of eligible voters do not have the required identification, these tougher laws will discourage millions of minorities and low-income Americans from voting. The Washington Post conducted a national poll (July 7-19, 2012) and found that 1558 out of 2064 adults supported the tougher voter ID laws. 1)Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults who approve of tougher voter ID laws. Document your work in the space provided below. Document how you computed the margin of error and the confidence interval in the space provided below. Round all numbers to 4 decimal places. 2)Is it likely that three-fourths of adults approve of these new laws?
In a US presidential election, the incumbent president wins with 51.5% of the vote to 48.2% for the primary challenger (and .3% to others). In a nationwide telephone poll of 1000 people conducted exactly one week before the election by a university polling group, 49% of people polled supported the incumbent president, 50% supported the challenger, and 1% supported other candidates. a. For the polling study, what was the population of interest? b. What was the sample? c. Why did the sample results differ from the population? d. What are two constants that might have limited the generalizability of the polling results?
b) A certain pay television company wishes to estimate the proportion of its customers who would purchase a pay television program guide. To do this, the company manager decides to select a random sample of customers and note the number who would purchase a program guide. Suppose that experience in other areas suggests that about 13% of customers will purchase a program guide. How many customers should the company manager include in his sample if he wishes to estimate the true proportion who will purchase the program guide correct to within 5% (0.05) with a confidence level of 95%?
3. The director of library services at Fairmont College did a survey of types of books (by subject) in the circulation library. Then she used library records to take a random sample of 4217 books checked out last term and classified the books in the sample by subject. The results are shown below. Subject Area % Books in Circ Library on this Subject No. of Books in the Sample on this Subject Business 32% 1210 Humanities 25% 956 Natural Science 20% 940 Social Science 15% 814 Other Subject 8% 297 Using a 5% level of significance, test the claim that the subject distribution of books in the library fits the distribution of books checked out by students.
8) In the US, 4.5% of the population identifies as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (see, for instance, this report). In the UK, the LGBT community accounts for 1.5% of the population. Which of the following can be inferred from the given information? a) The number of LGBT individuals in the US is greater than that in the UK. b) The proportion of LGBT individuals in the US is 3% greater than the proportion of LGBT individuals in the UK. c) The proportion of LGBT individuals in the UK is 3% less than that in the US. d) The proportion of LGBT individuals in the UK is 200% greater than that in the US. e) The proportion of LGBT individuals in the US is 200% greater than that in the UK.
In a series of studies, Sebastian Deri and his colleagues (2017) asked multiple groups about the number of friend groups they had and how often they attended different social events. They then asked participants how they thought their own numbers compared to other people's: Did participants see themselves as less social, the same as, or more social than others? In the first study, the researchers reported that: "Three hundred four participants from Amazon's Mechanical Turk (150 women; Mage = 37.1; 78% White, 10% Black, and 6% Asian) completed a survey in exchange for modest payment" (p. 860). What do the researchers mean by "Amazon's Mechanical Turk" with respect to their sample of participants? O A. An archival data set that already exists and from which researchers can use data O B. An online tool that researchers can use to recruit people to participate in research in exchange for a small payment O C. An e-book sold by Amazon that includes contact information for possible…
