Assume that 26.3% of people have sleepwalked. Assume that in a random sample of 1503 adults, 435 have sleepwalked. a. Assuming that the rate of 26.3% is correct, find the probability that 435 or more of the 1503 adults have sleepwalked. b. Is that result of 435 or more significantly high? c. What does the result suggest about the rate of 26.3%?

Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.a. If one car is randomly chosen, find the probability that it is traveling more than 66 mph. b. If one of the cars is randomly chosen, find the probability that it is traveling between 72 and 76 mph. c. 84% of all cars travel at least how fast on the freeway? mph.
Based on a smartphone survey, assume that 43% of adults with smartphones use them in theaters. In a separate survey of 258 adults with smartphones, it is found that 110 use them in theaters. a. If the 43% rate is correct, find the probability of getting 110 or fewer smartphone owners who use them in theaters. b. Is the result of 110 significantly low?
9.) The mean starting salary for teachers is $53,475 nationally. The standard deviation is approximately $5,250. Assume that the starting salary is normally distributed. a.) State the random variable. b.) Find the probability that a starting teacher will make more than $60,000. c.) Find the probability that a starting teacher will make less than $50,000. d.) Find the probability that a starting teacher will make between $52,000 and $59,500. e.) If a teacher made more than $61,000, would you think the teacher was overpaid? Why or why not?

If the57% rate is correct, find the probability of getting 149 or fewer smartphone owners who use them in theaters. b. Is the result of 149 significantly low?
Suppose Michigan is favored by 17.5 points over Indiana. If you bet a “unit” on Indiana and Indiana loses by 17 or less, you win $10. If Indiana loses by 18 or more points, you lose $11. Note: Both Michigan and Indiana are NCAA Basketball teams. 1)Find the mean and standard deviation of your winnings on a single bet. Assume that there is a 0.5 probability that you will win your bet and a 0.5 probability that you will lose your bet.
