In a test of a gender-selection technique, results consisted of 232 baby girls and 210 baby boys. Based on this result, what is the probability of a girl born to a couple using this technique? Does it appear that the technique is effective in increasing the likelihood that a baby will be a girl? The probability that a girl will be born using this technique is approximately (Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.) Does the technique appear effective in improving the likelihood of having a girl baby? O No O Yes

Physicians at a clinic gave what they thought were drugs to 960960 asthma, ulcer, and herpes patients. Although the doctors later learned that the drugs were really placebos, 5252 % of the patients reported an improved condition. Assume that if the placebo is ineffective, the probability of a patients condition improving is 0.490.49. For the hypotheses that the proportion of improving is 0.490.49 against that it is >0.49>0.49, find the p-value. p=p=
suppose we select an SRS of 1010 adults. If it is believed that 60% of all adults are very satisfied with their lives, what is the probability that at least 610 adults in our sample are very satisfied with their lives?Let X be the number (out of 1010) of adults who are very satisfied with their lives. What distribution should X have? Why?
According to a candy company, packages of a certain candy contain 24% orange candies. Find the approximate probability that the random sample of 300 candies will contain 29% or more orange candies. Using a normal approximation, what is the probability that at least 29% of 300 randomly sampled candies will be orange?
The article, “Should You Report That Fender-Bender?” (Consumer Reports, 2013:15), reported that 7 in 10 automobile accidents involve a single vehicle. A random sample of 25 accident reports is selected. Include your calculator functions and round your answers to 4 digits. What is the probability that exactly 8 accidents involve a single vehicle? I am trying to complete this study guide example but am stuck. I am using a TI-84 calculator and using the binompdf function. I enter 25 trials, .7 for p, and 8 for x but I get 8.051927. This cant be the answer since its too bing what am I doing wrong?
In a genetics experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 433 green peas and 121 yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected?
According to a study, the probability that an individual will cover his or her mouth when sneezing is 0.29. If 10 randomly selected individuals are observed, compute the following probabilites. Your answers should be rounded to four decimal places. The probability that five individuals will cover their mouth when sneezing is The probability that six or less individuals will cover their mouth when sneezing is
In a study of 349,212 cell phone users, it was found that 26 developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Assuming that cell phones have no effect, there is a 0.000109 probability of a person developing cancer of the brain or nervous system. We therefore expect about 39 cases of such cancer in a group of 349,212 people. Estimate the probability of 26 or fewer cases of such cancer in a group of 349,212 people. What do these results suggest about media reports that cell phones cause cancer of the brain or nervous system? (a) P(xs 26) = (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (b) What does the result from part (a) suggest about the media reports? O A. The media reports appear to be correct because one would expect that more than 26 cell phone users would develop cancer and the study offers significant evidence to support this. B. The media reports appear to be incorrect because one would expect that more than 39 cell phone users would develop cancer. In fact, the study may offer…
An employee survey conducted by a company two years ago found that 53% of its employees were concerned about future health care benefits: A random sample of 80 of these employees were asked if they were now concemed about future health care benefits. Answer the following, assuming that there has been no change in the level of concern about health care benefits compared to the survey bwo years ago a What is the standard enor of the sample proportion who are concerned? b. What is the probability that the sample proportion is less than 0.507 cWhat is the upper limit of the sample proportion such that only 4% of the time the sample proportion would exceed this value? Click the icon to view the standard normal table a The standard error of the sample proportion is (Round to five decimal places as needed.) CE
In a particular survey of internet users, 3575 respondents say that they use social networking sites and 1348 respondents say that they do not use social networking sites. What is the probability that a randomly selected person uses a social networking site? Does that result suggest that it is likely (with a probability of 0.5 or greater) for someone to use social networking sites? The probability that a randomly selected person uses a social networking site i
Physicians at a clinic gave what they thought were drugs to 890890 asthma, ulcer, and herpes patients. Although the doctors later learned that the drugs were really placebos, 5555 % of the patients reported an improved condition.
