An article summarizes a report of law enforcement agencies regarding the use of social media to screen applicants for employment. The report was based on a survey of 738 law enforcement agencies. One question on the survey asked if the agency routinely reviewed applicant's social media activity during background checks. For purposes of this exercise, suppose that the 738 agencies were selected at random, and that you want to use the survey data to decide if there is convincing evidence that more than 25% of law enforcement agencies review applicants' social media activity as part of routine background checks. (a) The sampling distribution of p describes the behavior of p when random samples are selected from a particular population. Describe the shape, center, and spread of the sampling distribution of p for samples of size 738 if the null hypothesis Ho: p = 0.25 is true. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) The sampling distribution of p is ---Select--- O; and has mean Hp and…
A consumer survey was conducted to examine patterns in ownership of tablet computers, cellular telephones, and Blu-ray players. The following data were obtained: 311 people had tablet computers, 236 had cell phones, 265 had Blu-ray players, 65 had all three, 62 had none, 92 had cell phones and Blu-ray players, 57 had cell phones but no computers or Blu-ray players, and 108 had computers and Blu-ray players but no cell phones. (Round your answers to one decimal place.) A) What percent of people surveyed owned a cell phone? B) What percent of the people surveyed owned only a cell phone?
Current job status Employed Unemployed 16. Employment program A city council must decide whether to fund a new "welfare-to-work" program to assist long-time unemployed people in finding jobs. This program would help clients fill out job applications and give them advice about dealing with job interviews. A six- month trial has just ended. At the start of this trial a number of unemployed residents were randomly divided into two groups; one group went through the help program and the other group did not. Data about employment at the end of this trial are shown in the table. Should the city council fund this program? Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. Group 1 (Help program) 20 34 Group 2 13 (No help) 33
children (ages Do popular cartoon characters on food packages influence children's food choices? A study asked 40 young four to six) to taste Graham Crackers presented in a package either with or without a popular cartoon character. When asked to indicate which of the two options they would prefer to eat for a snack, 35 chose the version with a cartoon on the package. Is this evidence that young children prefer snacks packaged with popular cartoon images more than chance alone would explain? STATE: There are two questions: What proportion p of young children prefer Graham Crackers packaged with popular cartoon images? Is there evidence that p is more than 0.5 (what chance alone would predict)? PLAN: Give a 95% confidence interval, and test Ho: p = 0.5 versus Ha: p > 0.5.

2. A political scientist developed a test designed to measure the degree of awareness of current events. She wants to estimate the average score that would be achieved on this test by all students in a certain high school. The administration at the school will not allow the experimenter to randomly select students out of classes in session, but it will allow her to interrupt a small number of classes for the purpose of giving the test to every member of the class. Thus, the experimenter selects 25 classes at random from the 108 classes in session at a particular hour. The test is given to each member of the sampled classes, with results as shown in the accompanying table. Number of students, mi Total score, yi Class 1 31 1590 2 29 1510 3 25 1490 4 35 1610 5 15 800 6 31 1720

Blue Embrold.. Pointehaven 200 G. PANDOR A study was conducted to determine whether there were significant differences between medical students admitted through special programs (such as retention incentve and guaranteed placement programs) and medical students admitted through the regular admissions criteria. It was found that the graduation rate was 91.9% for the medical students admitted through special programs. A sample of 11 students from the special programs are randomly selected. An event is considered unusual if it has a probability of less than 5%. Round to at least 4 decimal places! a) Compute the probability that at least 10 of them graduated. b) Compute the probability that exactly 8 of them graduated. C) Would it be unusual to randomly select 11 students from the special programs and get exactly 8 that graduate? O no, it is not unusual O yes, it is unusual d) Compute the probability that at most 8 of them graduated. e) Would it be unusual to randomly select 11 students…
