7) The state education commission wants to estimate the proportion of tenth grade students that have reading skills at or below the eighth-grade level. How large a sample would be required to estimate the proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth-grade level using 90% confidence level with a margin of error of 0.05 if: a) p 0.10 from an earlier study b) no estimate of p is available

a) You want to obtain a sample to estimate the average number of hours per week community college students in the United States work at their job while being a full-time student. Based on previous evidence, you believe the population standard deviation is 9. You would like to be 95% confident that your estimate is within 1.5 hours of the true population mean. Assume that the number of statistics students is unknown, but very large. How large of a sample size is required? b) You want to obtain a sample to estimate the average number of hours per week ACM students work at their job while being a full-time student.

The 2003 Statistical Abstract of the United States reported the percentage of people 18 years of age and older who smoke. Suppose that a study designed to collect new data on smokers and nonsmokers uses a preliminary estimate of the proportion who smoke to be .30. a) How large a sample should be taken to estimate the proportion of smokers in the population with a margin of error of 2%? Use 95% confidence. b) Assume that the study uses your sample size recommendation above and finds 520 smokers. What is the point estimate of the proportion of smokers in the population? c) What is the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of smokers in the population?
Listed below are amounts of court income and salaries paid to the town justices. All amounts are in thousands of dollars. Construct a scatterplot, find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r, and find the P-value using α=0.05. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between court incomes and justice salaries? Based on the results, does it appear that justices might profit by levying larger fines?
