In Canada, bill C-16 passed with a vote of 248 in favour (Yes), and 40 opposed (No). In other words, 86.1111% of congresspersons voted Yes to bill C-16. A week before the bill was passed, a journalist wants to survey 36 congresspersons to determine the proportion of congresspersons that will vote Yes. What is the probability that the journalist's survey will give the exact same result as the actual vote? In other words, if the journalist surveys 36 congresspersons, what is the probability that 86.1111% of those surveyed will be voting Yes? Hint: You will need to determine what 86.1111% of the 36 is...this will tell you how many Yes's the journalist is looking for... What is the probability that the journalist is within 5% of the actual proportion (86.1111%) of Yes voters?

In 2014, Scotland was considering independence from England, going so far as to take a referendum vote. One opinion poll taken at the time showed that 51% of Scots favored "independence." In another poll taken at that same time, only 34% favored being "separate" from England. The primary reason these results differed by so much is that a. samples will usually differ just by chance due to random sampling. b. the wording of questions has a big effect on poll results. c. more follow-up efforts reduced the nonresponse rate of the second poll. d. the sample sizes are different, so the margins of error are different.

A question in a poll taken in 2007 asked, "Do you think the penalties for underage drinking should be made more strict, less strict, or remain the same?" The sample proportion that responded "more strict" was 0.61 (61%). This result will be used to estimate the proportion of all adults in the United States who think that penalties for underage drinking should be more strict. The sample consisted of n = 500 randomly selected adults in the United States Calculate a 95% confidence interval that estimates the population proportion who think that penalties for underage drinking should be more strict. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
A new weight-reducing technique, consisting of a liquid protein diet, is currently undergoing tests by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before its introduction into the market. The weights of a random sample of five people are recorded before they are introduced to the liquid protein diet. The five individuals are then instructed to follow the liquid protein diet for 3. weeks. At the end of this period, their weights (in pounds) are again recorded. The results are listed in the table. Person Weight Before Diet Weight After Diet 1 165 160 2 210 207 3 203 202 4 216 208 220 217 5 (1) Is there a significant difference between the means of the weights before and after the diet?

Chick-fil-A gets it right. Which fast-food chain fills orders most accurately at the drive-thru window? The Quick Servcie Restaurant magazine drive-thru study involved a total of 7594 visits to restaurants in the 25 largest fast-food chains in all 50 states. All visits occured during the lunch hours of 11:00 A.M. to 2:30 P.M. or during the dinner hours of 4:00 to 7:00 P.M. During each visit, the researcher ordered a maint item, a side item, and a drink. One item was left off of each order; for example, a field researcher could order a burger with no pickles. After recieving the order, all the food and drink items were checked for accuracy. ANy food or drink item recieved that was not exactly as ordered resulted in the order being classified as inaccurate. Also included the measurement of accuracy were condiments asked for, napkins, straws, and correct change. Any errors in these resulted in the order being classified as inaccurate. Chick-fil-A had the fewest inaccuracies, with only 14…

From the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey in 2019 it was found that 33.13%of United States residents over the age of 25 had an educational attainment of a bachelor’sdegree or higher. In the District of Columbia, the percentage of residents over the age of 25 whohad attained a bachelor’s degree or higher was 59.67%. An investigator for the U.S. CensusBureau took a random sample of seven residents from the District of Columbia and asked themtheir highest educational degree they had obtained. a) Verify that the sample from the District of Columbia satisfies the conditions of thebinomial experiment. Write one sentence to check each requirement in context of theinvestigation.b) Assuming the sample from the District of Columbia is a binomial experiment, build theprobability distribution in a single table and include the table in your solutions. You maypresent this table horizontally or vertically and leave the probabilities unrounded. Thereare two possible ways to do this: To…
Country Magazine reports that celebrity MySpace accounts have an average of 4 million friends. Celebologist Chuck Norris thinks that it's actually different than that.

Among students at a nearby college, the proportion who say they’re interested in their congressional district’s election results has traditionally been 70%. After a series of lackluster debates on campus, a political scientist claims that the proportion, p, of students at the college who say they’re interested in their districts election results is now less than 70%. A pill is commissioned, and 154 out of random sample of 230 students at the college say they’re interested in their districts election results. Is there enough evidence to support the political scientist’s claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table.
A study considered the question, “Are you a registered voter?” Accuracy of response was confirmed by a check of city voting records. Two methods of survey were used: a face-to-face interview and a telephone interview. A random sample of 93 people were asked the voter registration question face-to-face. Seventy-nine respondents gave accurate answers. Another random sample of 83 people was asked the same question during a telephone interview. Seventy-four respondents gave accurate answers. Assume that the samples are representative of the general population. Test the claim that there is a difference in the proportion of accurate responses from face-to-face compared with telephone interviews. Use alpha=.05 What is the null hypothesis? What is the alternative hypothesis? What distribution are you using? What test are you running? What is your conclusion?

A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned. Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.” Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations. 1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.
