Insulin-dependent diabetes (IDD) is a common chronic disorder in children. The disease occurs most frequently in children of northern European descent, but the incidence ranges from a low of 1–2 cases per 100,000 per year to a high of more than 40 cases per 100,000 in parts of Finland.† Let us assume that a region in Europe has an incidence of 70 cases per 100,000 per year and that we randomly select 1,000 children from this region. What is the probability that we will observe at least two cases of IDD among the 1,000 children in the sample? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Is the national crime rate really going down? Some sociologists say yes! They say that the reason for the decline in crime rates in the 1980s and 1990s is demographics. It seems that the population is aging, and older people commit fewer crimes. According to the FBI and the Justice Department, 70% of all arrests are of males aged 15 to 34 years†. Suppose you are a sociologist in Rock Springs, Wyoming, and a random sample of police files showed that of 35 arrests last month, 25 were of males aged 15 to 34 years. Use a 10% level of significance to test the claim that the population proportion of such arrests in Rock Springs is different from 70%.a) What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)b) Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
The viruses causing problems in strawberry plants are mainly spread by one insect, the strawberry aphid. Carly believes that as aphids feed on leaves, they transmit viruses that can cause a rapid decrease in plant growth. She decides to verify whether or not the number of strawberry aphids found on a plant could be linked to its growth. She therefore randomly chooses 5 strawberry plants at the same stage of development in a virus-infested garden. For each individual plant, she first collects all the aphids present on the plant and weighs them, and then weighs the entire plant to have a measure of plant growth. She obtains the following data. (Attach on side) Is Carly correct in thinking that when the number of aphids on a plant is larger, the growth of the plant is affected (i.e., its weight is smaller)? Apply the appropriate statistical method with a test of significance at α = 0.05.

A study showed that the alumni of a college who had grades that were close to the average tended to have higher incomes than either the poor or very good students who graduated at the same time. Does this mean that very good grades are a handicap for those seeking high incomes? What other factors might cause this result?

Suppose that you wanted to determine if a drug improves students abilities to concentrate and study. A study conducted by a pharmaceutical company recruited 125 students with averge IQ’s to participate in a randomized clinical trial. The drug company split the recruits into two groups. Group 1, the placebo group was given a sugar pill. The second group, Group 2, the treatment group was given the drug. They were then asked to asked to complete a very difficult task and the amount of time they took before they quit was calculated. They claim that the placebo group will have different focus times from the treatment group. You will test the claim with a significance of .01. which test should you run and why?
An antidepressant has historically been known to relieve depression for 65% of patients who use the drug. The drug's formula was changed recently to include a smaller dose of its main, active ingredient. Due to this change, a medical researcher suspects that among all people with depression who use the new version of the drug, the proportion, p, of people who find relief is lower than 65%. A random sample of 215 patients who use the new version is selected by the researcher, and 125 of them find relief from depression. Based on these data, can we support the researcher'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. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
A Pew Research study conducted in 2017 found that approximately 75% of Americans believe that robots and computers might one day do many of the jobs currently done by people (Pew Research website, http://www.pewinternet.org/2017/10/04/americans-attitudes-toward-a-future-in-which-robots-and-computers-can-do-many-human-jobs/). Suppose we have the following data collected from nurses, tax auditors, and fast-food workers in which a higher score means the person feels his or her job is more likely to be automated.
