(a) Construct a table showing the macrostates and all of the individual microstates for tossing 6 coins. (b) How many macrostates are there? (c) What is the total number of microstates? (d) What percent chance is there of tossing 5 heads and 1 tail? (e) How much more likely are you to toss 3 heads and 3 tails than 5 heads and 1 tail? (Take the ratio of the number of microstates to find out.)

PROPORTIONS Sample Size: Calculate the sample size. A previous study showed that 69% of community college students have read a book for personal enjoyment during the school year. If a new study were to be done in order to reduce the margin of error to 1%, how many students should be sampled?
You are testing the claim that the proportion of men who own cats is smaller than the proportion of women who own cats.You sample 110 men, and 75% own cats.You sample 150 women, and 65% own cats.Find the proportion of the pooled samples, (pcpc), as a decimal, rounded to two decimal places.
A group of 175 college students who took math last term were interviewed. They were asked whether they passed their math course and whether they live on campus. Their responses are summarized in the following table. Passed math Failed math Live on campus 49 21 Live off campus 28 77 ? |(a) What percentage of the students passed math? 1% |(b) What percentage of the students live on campus? % |(c) What percentage of the students who live on campus passed math? [% |(d) Is there evidence that students who live on campus tend to pass math more often than average? O No, because the percentage found in part (c) is about the same as the percentage found in part (a). O No, because the percentage found in part (c) is about the same as the percentage found in part (b). O Yes, because the percentage found in part (c) is much greater than the percentage found in part (a). O Yes, because the percentage found in part (c) is much greater than the percentage found in part (b).

In 1942, an organization surveyed 1100 adults and asked, "Are you a total abstainer from, or do you on occasion consume, alcoholic beverages?" Of the 1100 adults surveyed, 440 indicated that they were total abstainers. In a recent survey, the same question was asked of 1100 adults and 418 indicated that they were total abstainers. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. (a) Determine the sample proportion for each sample. and respectively. The proportions of the adults who took the 1942 survey and the recent survey who were total abstainers are (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

According to a census company. 7 1% of all bables bom are of low birth weight. An obstetrician wanted to know whether mothers between the ages of 35 and 39 years give birth to a higher percentage of low-birth-weight babies. She randomly selected 240 births for which the mother was 35 to 39 years old and found 28 low-birth-weight bables. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. (a) lf the proportion of low-birth-welght babies for mothers in this age group is 0.071, compute the expected number of low-birth-weight births to 35- to 39-year-old mothers. What is the expected number of births to mothers 35 to 39 years old that are not low birth weight? The expected number of low birth-weight births to 35- to 39-year-old mothers is The expected number of births to mothers 35 to 39 years old that are not low birth weight is (Type integers o decimals)
The director of library services at a 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 888 books checked out last term and classified the books in the sample by subject. The results are shown below.
