An electric utilities company must choose between two technology options for generating electricity for its customers in the future: coal or nuclear energy. In order to assess the attitudes of local citizens, the power company conducted a public opinion poll. Four sectors were considered: news media, coal miners' union, environmentalists and conservationists, and local groups. Fifty (50) persons were randomly sampled from each sector and asked to give their opinions. The results of the survey are shown in the table below: Coal Environmentalists News Media Miner's and Local Groups Total Union Conservationists Support Coal Option 21 42 11 25 99 Support Nuclear 18 2 16 13 49 Option Neutral 11 23 12 52 Totals 50 50 50 50 200 Construct a 90% two-sided confidence interval for the percentage of environmentalists and conservationists who support the nuclear option. What is the upper confidence limit?

Among students at a nearby college, the proportion who say they’re interested in their congressional district’s election results has traditionally been 70%. After a series of lackluster debates on campus, a political scientist claims that the proportion, p, of students at the college who say they’re interested in their districts election results is now less than 70%. A pill is commissioned, and 154 out of random sample of 230 students at the college say they’re interested in their districts election results. Is there enough evidence to support the political scientist’s claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table.
Ten countries were randomly selected from the list of 129 countries in theCountry. The countries are compared with respect to their gross nationalproduct per capita, an indicator of the average income level of each country.Researchers have found that people in countries with higher income levelstend to live longer than do people in countries with lower income levels.In addition, birth rates tend to be higher in countries with lower incomes,with birth rates declining as countries become better off economically. a. Use this data to determine the Spearman rank correlation of GNP with(i) life expectation, and (ii) the birth rate. b. Test to determine whether the correlation of ranks is statisticallysignificant at the 0.05 level of significance.
Twenty-nine college students, identified as having a positive attitude about Mitt Romney as compared to Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election, were asked to rate how trustworthy the face of Mitt Romney appeared, as represented in their mental image of Mitt Romney’s face. Ratings were on a scale of 0 to 7, with 0 being “not at all trustworthy” and 7 being “extremely trustworthy.” Here are the 29 ratings: 2.6 3.2 3.7 3.3 3.4 3.6 3.7 3.8 3.9 4.1 4.2 4.9 5.7 4.2 3.9 3.2 4.5 5.0 5.0 4.6 4.6 3.9 3.9 5.3 2.8 2.6 3.0 3.3 3.7 a 95% confidence interval for the mean rating. Is there significant evidence at the 5% level that the mean rating is greater than 3.5 (a neutral rating)?
In 2018, a Quinnipiac University poll found that 65% of Florida voters support stricter gun laws. There are approximately 13 million registered voters in Florida. If the poll represents how all voters in Florida feel, which of the following is the best estimate of the number of voters who support stricter gun laws? a. Between 1.3 million and 2.3 thousand voters b. Between 8 million and 9 million voters c. Between 130 thousand and 650 thousand voters d. Between 4 million and 5 million voters
California insurance companies wanted to study factors (e.g., the proximity to a major earthquake fault line) that may influence homeowners’ decisions to purchase earthquake insurance. Surveys were mailed to randomly selected households in three California counties to investigate the possible proximity effect. The data collected are shown below: Los Angeles San Bernardino Santa Clara sample size 1,000 1,400 1,200 Number with 377 469 390 earthquake insurance Los Angeles County is located closest among the three to a major earthquake fault line. Are homeowners in Los Angeles County more likely to purchase earthquake insurance than those in San Bernardino County? Test using α = 0.05. (Optional) Are homeowners in Los Angeles County more likely to purchase earthquake insurance than those in Santa Clara County? Use α = 0.05.
The city of Raleigh has 10500 registered voters. There are two candidates for city council in an upcoming election: Brown and Feliz. The day before the election, a telephone poll of 500 randomly selected registered voters was conducted. 158 said they'd vote for Brown, 293 said they'd vote for Feliz, and 49 were undecided.Give the sample statistic for the proportion of voters surveyed who said they'd vote for Brown. Note: The proportion should be a fraction or decimal, not a percent.
A random survey of health issues, conducted by the Department of Public Health of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, examined the results from the state's seven largest cities.

A Gallup Poll released in December 2010 asked 1019 adults living in the Continental U.S. about their belief in the origin of humans. These results, along with results from a more comprehensive poll from 2001 (that we will assume to be exactly accurate - i.e. known values), are summarized in the table below: Response Year: 2010 Year: 2001 Humans Evolved with God guiding (1) 38% 37% Humans evolved but God had no part in the process (2) 16% 12% God created humans in present form (3) 40% 45% Other / No opinion (4) 6% 6% (B)Calculate the actual number of respondents in 2010 that fall in each response category as well as the expected number, assuming that the population follows the 2001 distribution. Round to the nearest whole number.
