Greece has faced a severe economic crisis since the end of 2009. A Gallup poll surveyed 1,000 randomly sampled Greeks in 2011 and found that 25% of them said they would rate their lives poorly enough to be considered suffering. a) Describe the population parameter of interest. What is the value of the point estimate of this parameter? O Proportion of Greeks suffering; 0.25 O Proportion of Greeks that would rate their lives poorly enough to be considered suffering; 0.25 Proportion of Greeks facing a severe economic crisis; 0.25 O Number of Greeks that would rate their lives poorly enough to be considered suffering; 250 b) Check if the conditions required for constructing a confidence interval based on these data are met. We have independence and the sample size is at least 30. The number of successes and failures are at least 10. We have independence. O We have independence and the number of successes and failures are at least 10. c) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of Greeks who are suffering.

4. Straight As now, healthy later A study by Pamela Herd of the University of Wisconsin-Madison found a link between high-school grades and health. Analyzing data from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study, which has tracked the lives of thousands of Wisconsin high-school graduates from the class of 1957, Herd found that students with higher grade-point averages were more likely to say they were in excellent or very good health in their early 60s. Does this mean people will live healthier lives if they increase their GPA? Explain.47
The price of a share of stock divided by the company's estimated future earnings per share is called the P/E ratio. High P/E ratios usually indicate "growth" stocks, or maybe stocks that are simply overpriced. Low P/E ratios indicate "value" stocks or bargain stocks. A random sample of 51 of the largest companies in the United States gave the following P/E ratiost. 9 20 11 35 19 13 15 21 29 53 16 26 21 14 21 27 10 12 47 14 40 18 60 72 33 14 8 49 5 16 8 19 12 31 67 51 26 18 17 20 19 13 25 23 27 44 20 27 19 18 32 (a) Use a calculator with mean and sample standard deviation keys to find the sample mean x and sample standard deviation s.

Chapter 5 In preparation for your discussion post, complete the following: • Research data on the U.S. uninsured population (https://aspe.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/private/pdf/265041/trends-in-the-us- uninsured.pdf B). • Choose one condition for your discussion post about an uninsured group. (For example, In 2019, 22% of Latine individuals under age 65 were uninsured, Figure 4 p.6). For your discussion board post include all of the following: 1. Suppose six individuals, within your criteria, are randomly selected. Show or explain your thinking for each problem. (Note: This is a binomial probability from Section 5.2, they either have insurance or they do not.) A. Let having insurance be a success. State the values of your p, q, and n for your chosen condition. Explain your thinking. (For my example, if 22% do not have insurance, then that is my q (failure) value, my p=0.78, q=0.22, n-6 (6 individuals are randomly selected in this problem). B. Use excel or a T184 to determine the…

A Pew Research Center report published on February 2, 2022 says, “In a national survey by Pew Research Center, 54% of U.S. adults say they have a favorable opinion of the Supreme Court while 44% have an unfavorable view, and 84% say justices should not bring their political views into decisions.” Answer the given problems based on the assumption that the above figures represent the true proportion of current U.S. people’s opinion. 4.1. If 20 U.S. adults are selected at random, what is the probability that less than half the selected people have favorable view on U.S. Supreme Court? 4.2. If 20 U.S. adults are selected at random, what is the probability that more than half the selected people have unfavorable view on U.S. Supreme Court? 4.3. If 5,128 U.S. adults were interviewed, what are the expected value of the number of people that answered that the justices should not bring their political views into decisions? What is the probability standard deviation in this case?

Estimating income tax based on dividends is also not straightforward, due in part to Australia’s franking credit scheme. Mike is looking to simplify total annual tax projections for a share portfolio based simply on the share portfolio's current value. To do this, he wishes to determine if there is any statistically significant linear relationship between the two. Mike has randomly sampled 30 individuals with share portfolios over AUD$100,000 and mapped the assessed value of the portfolio (in AUD $1000) to the total taxes paid on that amount (in AUD$1). Mike's data is in the table below.
