In a survey conducted by Health Ministry on prevalence of diabetes disease among senior citizens, those above 60 year-old, the following are the published information: 55% of the respondents are Malay and 25% of them are diabetics; 25% of the respondents are Chinese and 20% of them are diabetics; 20% of the respondents are Indian and 15% of them are diabetics. a) Illustrate the above published information in a tree diagram. If a senior citizen is picked at random, find the probability that he/she is a diabetic. (b) (c) Suppose that a senior citizen is diabetic, find the probability that he/she is Malay.

2. We want to investigate whether there exists gender bias on traffic stops by the police here in Charlotte. The Charlotte Open Data Portal includes information on different characteristics of drivers being stopped. We collected the data from 2017 and we are interested in answering the question: "Of all the drivers who are stopped, are female drivers less likely to get searched than male drivers? From the data collected we observed that 438 out of the 24,314 female drivers were searched, whercas 2,244 out of 34,095 male drivers were scarchcd. (a) that the proportion of female drivers being searched is smaller than the proportion of male drivers being searched? Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.05 significance level to conclude Construct the appropriate confidence interval for the hypothesis (b) test of part (a) and state your conclusion.
In a particular test for Diabetes, 93% of those who were known to have the disease showed a positive test result for the disease. Of those who were known to not have the disease (control group), 1% showed a positive test result. One in 1000 people are thought to have Diabetes.

1. The percentage of 12- to 17-year-olds who reported talking at least once in the past year with their parents about the dangers of drug, tobacco, or alcohol is 60% nationally. A state youth council believes this proportion is higher in their state, where there has been an intense media campaign about this issue. A survey of randomly chosen students from across the state shows 1032 of 1642 students reporting they are having these conversations with their parents. Is there evidence that the percent of students using drugs, tobacco or alcohol in this state is above the national rate?
1. A hospital keeps a record of the number of males and females in different age groups who contract a particular disease. The data are summarized as follows: Age Groups: 10-25 26-40 41-55 56 + Male: 23, 34, 20, 64 Female: 31, 29, 55, 44 a) Are gender and age of contracting the disease independent of one another (a < .05)? b) A researcher believes that people in the 41-55 age group are three times as likely to develop the disease as are those in each of the two younger age groups, while those in the 56 + age group are only twice as likely (relative to those in the two youngest groups). The two youngest age groups are not expected to differ from each other. Do the data support these beliefs (a < .01)? c) It is also believed that, relative to males, the proportion of females in the 56 + age group that develops the disease is significantly different from the proportion of females in the 10-25 age group that develops the disease. Test this belief with a 5.05. Answers 1. a) x2 =…
The number of hours per week that the television is turned on is determined for each family in a sample. The mean of the data is 31 hours and the median is 27.2hours. Twenty-four of the families in the sample turned on the television for 16 hours or less for the week. The 8th percentile of the data is 16 hours. Based on the given information, determine if the following statement is true or false. The first quartile is less than 16 hours.
