Consider the following information about travelers on vacation: 40% check work email, 30% use a cell phone to stay connected to work, 35% bring a laptop with them, 18% both check work email and use a cell phone to stay connected, and 44.8% neither check work email nor use a cell phone to stay connected nor bring a laptop. In addition, 88 out of every 100 who bring a laptop also check work email, and 70 out of every 100 who use a cell phone to stay connected also bring a laptop. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected traveler who checks work email also uses a cell phone stay connected? (b) What is the probability that someone who brings a laptop on vacation also uses a cell phone to stay connected? (c) If the randomly selected traveler checked work email and brought a laptop, what is the probability that he/she uses a cell phone to stay connected? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

As a destination marketing director, you found that TV executives used the guideline that 25% of the viewers were watching Fox cable network, 22% watching NBC and CBS, and 19% watching ABC. The remaining 12% were watching other cable networks such as CNN and MSNBC on a weekday night. A random sample of 500 viewers in the D.C. metro area last Tuesday night showed 109 homes were tuned in to the Fox station, 125 homes tuning in to NBC affiliate, 100 homes tuning in to CBS affiliate and 81 homes tuning in to ABC affiliate. 85 homes were watching CNN and NSNBC cable stations. At the 0.05 significant level, can we conclude that the guideline is still reasonable?
According to Inc.com, 71% of job seekers used social media in their job search in 2018. Many believe this number is inflated by the proportion of 22- to 30-year-old job seekers who use social media in their job search. A survey of 22- to 30 -year-old job seekers showed that 310 of the 370 respondents use social media in their job search. In addition, 275 of the 370 respondents indicated they have electronically submitted a resume to an employer.
Seven percent of those who invest in mutual funds consider corporate stocks to be “very safe”, 58% consider them “relatively safe”, 24% consider them “not very safe”, 4% consider them “not safe” and 7% "They are not safe at all." Business / Week / Harris asked 550 mutual fund investors how they would rate corporate bonds for safety. The answers were the following Seguridad Frecuencia Very safe 62 Relatively safe 323 Not very safe 76 Not safe 26 Not safe at all 63 Does the attitude of mutual fund investors differ from corporate bonds from their attitude to corporate stocks? Support your conclusion by giving a statistical test. Use α = 0.01. For this problem you must present: -Hypothesis-Result of the expected values, residuals and the calculation of the test statistic.-Analysis of the results in the chi square test and its conclusion in applied terms of the problem
In recent years, many states have enacted tougher voter identification laws requiring a government issued photo ID. Proponents claim that these laws are necessary to reduce voter fraud. Opponents claim that voter fraud is rare and that since as many as 11% of eligible voters do not have the required identification, these tougher laws will discourage millions of minorities and low-income Americans from voting. The Washington Post conducted a national poll (July 7-19, 2012) and found that 1558 out of 2064 adults supported the tougher voter ID laws. 1)Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults who approve of tougher voter ID laws. Document your work in the space provided below. Document how you computed the margin of error and the confidence interval in the space provided below. Round all numbers to 4 decimal places. 2)Is it likely that three-fourths of adults approve of these new laws?

The GfK Custom Research Organization conducted identical surveys five years apart. One question asked women: “Are most men basically kind, gentle, and thoughtful"? The earlier survey revealed that, of the 3550 women surveyed, 2350 said that they were. In the later survey, 2250 of the 3550 women surveyed thought that men were kind, gentle, and thoughtful. Can we conclude that women think men are less kind, gentle, and thoughtful in the later survey compared with the earlier one? Use 0.01 significance level. Calculate and interpret the p-value. a. State the decision rule. (Negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Round the final answer to 3 decimal places.) The decision rule is to reject Ho if z is less than b. Compute the pooled proportion. (Round the final answer to 2 decimal places.) The pooled proportion is: c. Compute the value of the test statistic. (Negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places.) The test statistic is:…

In a series of studies, Sebastian Deri and his colleagues (2017) asked multiple groups about the number of friend groups they had and how often they attended different social events. They then asked participants how they thought their own numbers compared to other people's: Did participants see themselves as less social, the same as, or more social than others? In the first study, the researchers reported that: "Three hundred four participants from Amazon's Mechanical Turk (150 women; Mage = 37.1; 78% White, 10% Black, and 6% Asian) completed a survey in exchange for modest payment" (p. 860). What do the researchers mean by "Amazon's Mechanical Turk" with respect to their sample of participants? O A. An archival data set that already exists and from which researchers can use data O B. An online tool that researchers can use to recruit people to participate in research in exchange for a small payment O C. An e-book sold by Amazon that includes contact information for possible…
