According to a survey conducted in 2004 of 1000 American adults with Internet access, one in four households planned to switch ISPs in the next 6 months. Of those who planned to switch, 3% of the households were likely to switch to a satellite connection, 30% to a digital subscriber line (DSL), 27% to cable modem, 32% to dial-up modem, and 8% didn't know what kind of service provider they would switch to. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

Of the 50 researchers in a workgroup, 40 percent will be assigned to Team A and the remaining 60 percent to Team B. However, 70 percent of the researchers prefer Team A and 30 percent prefer Team B. What is the lowest possible number of researchers who will NOT be assigned to the team they prefer?
Using the uniform probability density function shown to the right, find the probability that the random variable X is between 1.2 and 1.8. Af(x) .5- 0+ The probability is (Type an integer or a decimal.)
Large companies typically collect volumes of data before designing a product, not only to gain information as to whether the product should be released, but also to pinpoint which markets would be the best targets for the product. Several months ago, I was interviewed by such a company while shopping at a mall. I was asked about my exercise habits and whether or not I'd be interested in buying a video/DVD designed to teach stretching exercises. I fall into the male, 18 35-years-old category, and I guessed that, like me, many males in that category would not be interested in a stretching video. My friend Jenny falls in the female, older-than-35 category, and I was thinking that she might like the stretching video. After being interviewed, I looked at the interviewer's results. Of the 97 people in my market category who had been interviewed, 12 said they would buy the product, and of the 116 people in Jenny's market category, 31 said they would buy it. Assuming that these data eame from…
A research wants to determine if pre-natal exposure to the hormones in birth control pills alters the sex makeup of midshipman fish populations (which are typically half male and half female).Specifically, the researcher wishes to test the hypothesis that exposure to hormones will increase the number of females in the population.The researcher exposes a group of pregnant midshipman fish to birth control hormones and records the sex of the first 9 offspring birthed.They then observe that 7 are female.Use a sign test to test the indicated hypothesis.What is the value of "significance"
Based on long experience, an airline found that about 4% of the people making reservations on a flight from Miami to Denver do not show up for the flight. Suppose the airline overbooks this flight by selling 267 ticket reservations for an airplane with only 255 seats.
You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. A poll tracks the favorite sport of Americans who follow at least one sport. Results of the poll show that professional football is the favorite sport of 33% of Americans who follow at least one sport, followed by baseball at 15%, men's college football at 10%, auto racing at 6%, men's professional basketball at 5%, and ice hockey at 5%, with other sport at 26%. Consider a survey in which 344 college undergraduates who follow at least one sport were asked to identify their favorite sport produced the following results: Professional Football 113 Baseball 37 Men's College Football 48 Auto Racing 12 Men's Professional Basketball 8 Ice Hockey 19 Other Sports Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) p-value = 107 Do college undergraduate students differ from the general public with regard to their favorite sports? Use a = 0.05. State the null and alternative hypotheses. O Ho: Undergraduate students…
Each American family is classified as living in an urban, suburban or rural location. During a given year, 15% of all urban families move to a suburban location, and 5% move to a rural location; also, 6% of all suburban families move to an urban location, and 4% move to a rural location; finally, 4% of all rural families move to an urban location, and 6% move to a suburban location. a.If a family now lives in an urban location, what is the probability that it will live in an urban area two years from now? b. If a family now lives in an urban location, what is the probability that it will live in a suburban area two years from now? c. If a family now lives in an urban location, what is the probability that it will live in a rural area two years from now? d. Find the steady-state probabilities.

A suburban area? A rural area? b Suppose that at present, 40% of all families live in an urban area, 35% live in a suburban area, and 25% live in a rural area. Two years from now, what percent- of American families will live in an urban area? c What problems might occur if this model were used to predict the future population distribution of the United States? age
A gym wishes to evaluate the effectiveness of its programs. When a new member joins the gym, they meet with a trainer who designs a recommended routine based on the member’s current fitness and their goals. The recommended routines can be classified into high, medium, or low effort. Historically, 68% of the new members get a high effort routine, 21% get a medium effort routine, and the rest get a low effort routine. After the first six months as members, the gym surveys the members’ adherence to the recommended routine. The gym classifies a member’s performance as optimal if they follow the recommended routine for the six months, or as inferior otherwise. According to the historical results of the survey, 84% of the members with a low effort routine, 22% of the members with a medium effort routine, and 69% of the members with a high effort routine report optimal performance. After the first six months of joining the gym, a member can obtain different results: they can either…
The majority of clothing retailers use mannequins to display their merchandise, with approximately one‑third displaying mannequins with heads and two‑thirds displaying mannequins without heads. Researchers recruited 126 female participants and assigned each to one of the two mannequin styles (head/headless). Participants were asked to imagine that they wanted to buy a new dress and told to go to a named store to make their purchase. They then viewed the dress displayed on a mannequin (head or headless) and were asked whether or not they would buy the dress. Of the 63 participants viewing the dress displayed on a mannequin with a head, 18 indicated that they would buy the dress, while only 10 of the 63 participants viewing the headless mannequin indicated that they would buy the dress. SOLVE : Are the conditions met to carry out the desired hypothesis test? One observed count of a success, namely the women who would buy a dress after seeing it on a headless mannequin, is ten,…
) A recent poll surveyed 1587 adults (18 years of age and older, residing in the contiguous United States, contacted by phone from randomly selected homes). Residents who agreed to participate were categorized according to their political party preference (Democrat, Republican or other) and their gender (male or female). To make life easier, we’ll focus on the responses from the south (37% of the sample or 588 people). Our question is about the “Gender Gap” in American politics (the gender gap is described as differences in voting preferences for men and women). Is voting preference independent of gender? What test should you use and why?
A school Psychologist is interested in the effect of violent television programs on a child's agression depending on if the show is a cartoon or not. Eighty children were recruited and were divided into equal groups. Half of the children watched a violent television program while the other half watched a non- violent program. Half of the children watched a cartoon while the other half watched a show that was not a cartoon. The children were then placed in a small group and the researcher measured the level of agressiveness of each child.
