According to Current Population Reports, published by the U.S. Census Bureau, 51.8% of U.S. adults are female, 10.2% are divorced, and 6.0% are divorced females. For a U.S. adult selected at random, let F = event the person is female, and D = event the person is divorced. (a) Obtain P(F), P(D) and P(F and D) (b) Determine P(F or D)

An article summarizes a report of law enforcement agencies regarding the use of social media to screen applicants for employment. The report was based on a survey of 738 law enforcement agencies. One question on the survey asked if the agency routinely reviewed applicant's social media activity during background checks. For purposes of this exercise, suppose that the 738 agencies were selected at random, and that you want to use the survey data to decide if there is convincing evidence that more than 25% of law enforcement agencies review applicants' social media activity as part of routine background checks. (a) The sampling distribution of p describes the behavior of p when random samples are selected from a particular population. Describe the shape, center, and spread of the sampling distribution of p for samples of size 738 if the null hypothesis Ho: p = 0.25 is true. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) The sampling distribution of p is ---Select--- O; and has mean Hp and…
