Fewer young people are driving. In 1995, 63.9% of people under 20 years old who were eligible had a driver's license. Bloomberg reported that percentage had dropped to 41.7% in 2016. Suppose these results are based on a random sample of 1,200 people under 20 years old who were eligible to have a driver's license in 1995 and again in 2016. a. At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error and the interval estimate of the number of eligible people under 20 years old who had a driver's license in 1995? Margin of error = (to four decimal places) Interval estimate = to (to four decimal places) b. At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error and the interval estimate of the number of eligible people under 20 years old who had a driver's license in 2016? Margin of error = (to four decimal places) Interval estimate = to (to four decimal places)

Foxbees magazine published data on the best small firms in 2012. These publicly traded firms have a stock price of at least $5 per share and have reported annual revenue between $5 million and $1 billion.

According to a study conducted by a statistical organization, the proportion of people who are satisfied with the way things are going in their lives is 0.88. Suppose that a random sample of 100 people is obtained. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. (a) Suppose the random sample of 100 people is asked, "Are you satisfied with the way things are going in your life?" Is the response to this question qualitative or quantitative? Explain. A. The response is quantitative because the responses can be classified based on the characteristic of being satisfied or not. B. The response is qualitative because the number of people satisfied can be counted. C. The response is qualitative because the responses can be classified based on the characteristic of being satisfied or not. O D. The response is quantitative because the number of people satisfied can be counted. (b) Explain why the sample proportion, p, is a random variable. What is the source of the variability? O A. The sample proportion…
Labor Day was created by the U.S. labor movement over 100 years ago. It was subsequently adopted by most states as an official holiday. In a poll by Gallup, 1000 randomly selected adults were asked whether they approve of labor unions; 650 said yes. In 1936, about 72% of Americans approved of labor unions. At a 5% level of significance, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of Americans who approve of labor unions now has decreased since 1936? Solve using the critical-value approach. a. Define the parameter we are testing and setup a hypothesis test to see if less than 72% of Americans approve of labor unions currently. b. Calculate the test statistics for this hypothesis test. c. What is the critical value for this hypothesis test?

In the NFL, Coaches can throw "challenge" flags if they believe officials have made an incorrect call on the field. Then, based upon further analysis, the call is either overturned (because the referees were incorrect) or upheld (referees were correct). In the first eight weeks of last NFL season, there were 316 challenges made, with 154 of those calls overturned. The NFL team owners used this data to begin a lawsuit that claimed referees were wrong more than 50% of the time in challenged situations. They want to perform statistical analysis before filing that lawsuit. For the following question, select the answer which correctly responds. Using the analysis presented in previous questions about this claim, is the NFL owners' complaint merited? That is, should they proceed in filing the lawsuit? O Yes O No
You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. Fewer young people are driving. In year A, 61.9% of people under 20 years old who were eligible had a driver's license.

A particular trucking company mandates that its drivers drive no more than 5 miles per hour over the speed limit at all times. GPS devices on the trucks record and report the truck's speed at all times to headquarters. The manager decides to pull a random sample from the entire data set of speed recordings for a particular driver. Assume that the population of driving speeds is approximately normal. The selected speeds that were pulled are the following. 68, 60, 57, 64, 65, 58 (a) Calculate the point estimate (in miles per hour) for the population mean. mph (b) Calculate the point estimate (in miles per hour) for the population standard deviation. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) mph (c) Calculate a 95% confidence interval (in miles per hour) for the mean driving speed for this driver. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) lower bound mph and the upper bound mph
