A study reported that about 40% of high school students have tried out for a sport at their school. To find out if this applies to Jessica’s school, she surveyed an SRS of 20 students. Nine of them said that they had tried out for a sport. To see if this result is surprising, a simulation is to be conducted to estimate the probability of obtaining a sample result as high as this one. Let 0–3 represent students who tried out for a sport and 4–9 represent students who did not try out for a sport. Using the line of random numbers to run one simulation, what proportion of students tried out for a sport? 0.40 0.45 0.50 0.60

A mechanical press is used to mold shapes for plastic toys. When the machine is adjusted and working well, it still produces about 6% defective toys. The toys are manufactured in lots of 100. What is the probability that the percent of defective toys is 11% or more?

Jenny works for a local brewing company. She and her team mates try to estimate the Hong Kong consumers’ preference on their beer brand compared to other imported ones. They performed a survey asking if the respondent prefers the company’s brand the most or not. Based on this survey result, they want to decide how much money the company needs to invest on brand promotions in the coming year. This is an important decision for the company, and the management wants to have the probability that the sample proportion p is +/- 3% from the actual proportion p to be very high (i.e., at least 99%). In this case, what is the desirable sample size n for the following two cases? Give the answer in the form of: at least ___ x100 samples. Case i. When the actual proportion is 50%. Case ii. When the actual proportion is 10%. Explain why the sample sizes required to achieve the same accuracy in the two cases are different.
