In a study to estimate the proportion of residents in a city that support the construction of a new bypass road in the vicinity, a random sample of 1600 residents were polled. Let X denote the number in the sample who supported the proposal. To estimate the tru X+v1600/2 proportion in support of the plan, we can compute p The estimator p has bias 1600

Ten (10) of your most trustworthy friends take a polygraph test. The odds of a trustworthy person failing the polygraph test is 0.15. Let the random variable X be the number of your friends that fail the polygraph test, What is the probability that less than 4 of them failed? The weight of goats at a farm is normally distributed with a mean of 60 kg and a standard deviation of 10 kg. A truck used to transport goats can only accommodate not more than 650 kg. If 10 goats are selected at random from the population, what is the probability that the total weight exceeds the maximum weight?
The World Bank Group suggests that a minimum of 6 GB of internet data per month per user is needed for online activities to ensure better life quality (accessing news, health and educational information, social media, and other online activities). Considering the costs and poor internet connectivity, a researcher wanted to estimate the mean monthly data consumption of students in rural areas. She calculated a mean of 3.4 GB of monthly data from a random sample of 25 students. • Sub ● daia (GB) are normally disipe eviation of Complete the statement: If we consider all possible samples of the same size and a 95% confidence interval is obtained from each sample, ther ✓ [Select] Neither A nor B A. 95% of these intervals would contain 3.4 GB.

Researchers notice that access to food may be related to later success in secondary education. Researchers formulate a hypothesis that says: teenagers are more likely to graduate high school in cities with more food banks per capita compared to cities that have fewer food banks per capita. They run a pilot study with n = 4 neighborhood blocks, sampled randomly across cities in the U.S. Here, x = number of food banks in the target city and y = number of high school graduates in a 4x4 block radius. The data are presented in the table below. What is the correlation between access to food banks (x) and high school graduation (y)? a) Calculate the sum of products b) Calculate Pearson’s r
According to Example 9.17 on p. 257, there is no significant difference, at the 5% level,between towns A and B in their support for the candidate. However, the level α = 0.05 was chosen rather arbitrarily, and the candidate still does not know if he can trust the results when planning his campaign. Can we compare the two towns at all reasonable levels of significance? Compute the P-value of this test and state conclusions. Example 9.17 -> the interval is [-0.14, 0.16]

The proportion of defective items is not allowed to be over 12%. A buyer wants to test whether the proportion of defectives in his shipment of 1000 items exceeds the allowable limit. The buyer takes a SRS of 100 items and finds that 19 are defective. State the null and alternative hypotheses for this test. Group of answer choices Ho: p = 0.12 vs Ha: p > 0.12 Ho: p = 0.19 vs Ha: p ≠ 0.12 Ho: p = 0.12 vs Ha: p < 0.19 Ho: p = 0.12 vs Ha: p = 0.19
A report states the average temperature for the month of June on a specific tropical island is 98 degrees F. A meteorologist claims the report is not correct.. Data collected from 35 areas on the island showed an average temperature of 94 degrees F. Thepopulation standarddeviation is known to be 6.0 degrees F. At alpha = 0.05, can the report's average be rejected? For multiple choice question #1, tell what type of test: right-tailed, left-tailed, or two-tailed.
Heights (cm) and weights (kg) are measured for 100 randomly selected adult males, and range from heights of 133133 to 190190 cm and weights of 3737 to 150150 kg. Let the predictor variable x be the first variable given. The 100 paired measurements yield x overbarxequals=168.08168.08 cm, y overbaryequals=81.5781.57 kg, requals=0.3130.313, P-valueequals=0.0020.002, and ModifyingAbove y with caretyequals=negative 108−108plus+1.121.12x. Find the best predicted value of ModifyingAbove y with carety (weight) given an adult male who is 169169 cm tall. Use a 0.050.05 significance level. The best predicted value of ModifyingAbove y with carety for an adult male who is 169169 cm tall is (answer) kg. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
3) An airline claims that the no-show rate for passengers is less than 5%. In a sample of 420 randomly selected reservations, 19 were no-shows. At α = 0.01, test the airline's claim. Round to the nearest thousandth when calculating the test statistic.
