Estimates from the American Diabetes Association suggest that 10% of the American population has diabetes. According to recent research,[1] the prevalence of smoking is 25.7% among individuals with diabetes, and 24.1% among individuals without diabetes.

In June 2015, Gallup conducted a poll of a random sample of 14,683 adults to determine the well-being of people living in the United States. One question asked, "Did you exercise at least 30 minutes for 3 or more days in the past week?" In the survey, 58.9% of males and 52.7% of females responded yes to this question. Which of the following is true about this scenario? A. O 58.9% and 52.7% are both parameters. B. O 58.9% and 52.7% are both statistics. C. If we took another random sample of 14,683 adults, we would expect to get the exact same results.
A study showed that in 1990, 47% of all those involved in a fatal car crash wore seat belts. Of those in a fatal crash who wore seat belts, 46% were injured and 26% were killed.

Find the probability that a randomly selected person who was unharmed in a fatal crash was not wearing a seat belt.

Do cat owners sleep better than those without cats? To help answer this question, a cat enthusiast obtained a random sample of 500 Canadians, each of whom answered two questions: 1. do you have a cat? (yes or no), 2. How well do you sleep? (good, neutral, bad). The dataset “CatSleep.xlsx” contains her findings. Find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a bad sleeper and a cat owner. Find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a neutral sleeper or a cat owner. Find the probability that a randomly selected non-cat owner is a bad sleeper. That is, find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a bad sleeper, given they are not a cat owner Can you handwrite the solution?

A pharmaceutical company is running trials on a new test for anabolic steroids. The company uses the test on 400 athletes known to be using steroids and 200 athletes known not to be using steroids. Of those using steroids, the new test is positive for 375 and negative for 25. Of those not using steroids, the test is positive for 25 and negative for 175. What is the relative frequency of a false negative result (the probability that an athlete using steroids will test negative)? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) What is the relative frequency of a false positive result (the probability that an athlete not using steroids will test positive)? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
