A survey of 1049 adults in a country, asking "As you may know, as part of its effort to investigate terrorism, a federal government agency obtained records from larger telephone and Internet companies in order to compile telephone call logs and Internet communications. Based on what you have heard or read about the program, would you say that you approve or disapprove of this government program?" Of those surveyed, 566 said they disapprove. a. Determine and interpret the sample proportion. b. At the 10% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a majority (more than 50%) of adults in the country disapprove of this government surveillance program?

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?
10. For adults, certain type of cancers can be treated with multiple health interventions. To gain information about all Maryland-based treatment centers a survey is sent to a randomly chosen group of 25 Maryland based treatment centers that asks about the recommended interventions for cancer patients based on medical records, insurance, and income.

3. A mathematics placement test is given to all entering freshmen at a small college. A student who receives a grade below 35 is denied admission to the regular mathematics course and placed in a remedial class. The placement test scores and the final grades for 20 students who took the regular course were recorded as follows: Placement Test Course Grade | Placement Test | Course Grade 50 53 90 54 35 35 41 80 60 91 61 48 40 56 60 71 55 68 60 71 65 36 40 47 35 11 55 53 60 70 50 68 90 79 65 57 35 59 50 79 (a) Plot a scatter diagram. (b) Find the equation of the regression line to predict course grades from placement test scores. (c) Graph the line on the scatter diagram (d) If 60 is the minimum passing grade, below which placement test score should students in the future be denied admission to this course?
In 1998, as an advertising campaign, the Nabisco Company announced a "1000 Chips Challenge," claiming that every 18-ounce bag of their Chips Ahoy! cookies contained at least 1000 chocolate chips.

Why is it important to ensure that research participants' names and other identifying information are not included in the notes and other researcher data? Select one. O Only certain studies need to keep participant information confidential. O Anonymity protects the research participant from being discriminated against in the event another agency/entity has access to the raw data. O It is not necessary for respondents to remain anonymous in research. O In double blind studies, the participant does not need to remain anonymous.

Sierra College students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course were asked to participate in an anonymous onlne survey. The survey asked the students "Which type of device will you primarily use to access your online course in Canvas?". Of the 152 students who answered this question, 20 responded "a desktop computer", 121 responded "a laptop computer", 6 responded "a smartphone", and 5 responded "a tablet". The Sierra College Mathematics Department believes that less than 5% of students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course primarily uses a smartphone to access their online course in Canvas. Use the data collected in the survey to conduct a hypothesis testing procedure to test this belief. What conclusion should be reached according to the results of this hypothesis test?
