In 2015, Addison Group and Kelton surveyed the work preferences and attitudes of 1081 working adults spread over three generations-Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials (Society for Human Resource Management website). One question asked individuals if they would leave their current job to make more money at another job. The file Millennials contains the sample data, which is also summarized in the following table.

he city of Raleigh has 7000 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 400 randomly selected registered voters was conducted. 131 said they'd vote for Brown, 259 said they'd vote for Feliz, and 10 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. This sample statistic suggests that we might expect of the 7000 registered voters to vote for Brown.
A study claims that the Netherlands has the tallest adults of any country with an average height of 6.14 ft. Trent wants to test this claim. He randomly measures the heights of 31 dutch adults and obtains the following data, in feet: 5.23, 6.6, 5.67, 6.44, 7.39, 6.14, 5.86, 4.09, 5.6, 5.68, 6.13, 5.87, 3.95, 5.61, 5.69, 6.83, 7.45, 6.03, 5.5, 5.75, 6.94, 5.65, 7.64, 2.83, 4.42, 5.5, 6.21, 6.53, 6.75, 6.01, 4.35 Should Trent reject the claim?

Health insurance benefits vary by the size of the company (the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation website, June 23, 2016). The sample data below show the number of companies providing health insurance for small, medium, and large companies. For the purposes of this study, small companies are companies that have fewer than 100 employees. Medium-sized companies have 100 to 999 employees, and large companies have 1000 or more employees. The questionnaire sent to 225 employees asked whether or not the employee had health insurance and then asked the employees to indicate the size of the company. Health Insurance Size of Company Yes No Total Small 33 17 50 Medium 67 8 75 Large 89 11 100 Conduct a test of independence to determine whether health insurance coverage is independent of the size of the company.

Matt Gaetz, a health educator, wants to evaluate the effect of a dental film on the frequency with which children brush their teeth. A random selection of 8 children are used for the experiment. First, a baseline of the number of times the children brush their teeth over a month's period is established. Next, the children are shown the dental film and again the number of teeth brushings are recorded for a month. The following data are recorded.
