- Politics and sex One month before the election, a poll of 63 randomly selected voters showed 54% planning to vote for a certain candidate. A week later, it became known that he had had an extramarital affair, and a new poll showed only 51% of 1010 voters supporting him. Do these results indicate a decreas in voter support for his candidacy? a) Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. b) If you concluded there was a difference, estimate thot diff

Organ Donors USA Today provided information about a survey of 5100 adult Internet users. Of the respondents, 2346 said they are willing to donate organs after death. In this survey conducted for Donate Life America, 100 adults were surveyed in each state and the District of Columbia, and results were weighted to account for the different state population sizes. a. What percentage of respondents said that they are willing to donate organs after death? b. Based on the poll results, what is the probability of randomly selecting an adult who is willing to donate organs after death? c. What term is used to describe the sampling method of randomly selecting 100 adults from each state and the District of Columbia?
When we test the hypothesis that the population proportions are equal, we can use the Z test for a one-sided as well as a two-sided alternative. Select one: a. False b. True C. Not sure
Out of 100 people sampled, 13 preferred Candidate A. Based on this, estimate what proportion of the entire voting population (p) prefers Candidate A. Use a 95% confidence level, and give your answers as decimals, to three places.
(Fill in the blank) Out of 850 people sampled, 595 said that they supported candidate Johnson. The researchers conclude that they are 95% confident that, in the population, the true percentage of people who support candidate Johnson is between 66% and 74%. Use this information to answer the following questions. a) The percentage of people in the sample who support candidate Johnson, called the sample statistic, is %. Answer: b) The margin of error is Answer: c) The confidence interval can be written as %+ Answer for first blank space: Answer for second blank space:
When two births are randomly selected, the sample space for genders is bb, bg. gb, and gg. Assume that those four outcomes are equally likely. Construct a table that describes the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of girls from two births. Does the mean of the sample proportions equal the proportion of girls in two births? Does the result suggest that a sample proportion an unbiased estimator of a population proportion? For the entire population, assume the probability of having a boy is the probability of having a girl is , and this is not affected by how many boys or girls have previously been born. 2 Determine the probabilities of each sample proportion.

In a memory test, the test subjects are given a large number and are asked to memorize it. Historical records show that 80% of test subjects pass the test. To pass the test, a subject must exactly repeat all the digits in the number after two hours. A random sample of 625 people to take the memory test is going to be chosen. Let p be the proportion of people in the sample who pass the test. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Find the mean of P. 0 (b) Find the standard deviation of p. 0 (c) Compute an approximation for P(P >0.84), which is the probability that more than 84% of the people in the sample pass the test. Round your answer to four decimal places. 0 X
When debating the state appropriation for Penn State, the following question is asked: "Are the majority of students at Penn State from Pennsylvania?" (A majority is anything higher than 0.5). The school claims that there is a majority of students from Pennsylvania. A random sample of 500 students is taken and it is found that 278 of them are from Pennsylvania. Find the test statistic and p-value for this test. Round to two decimal places.
Among a simple random sample of 331 American adults who do not have a four-year college degree and are not currently enrolled in school, 159 said they decided not to go to college because they could not afford school. A. Calculate the test statistic and the p-value. B. State the conclusion in context.
1 V. A randomly selected sample of 1000 college students was asked whether they had ever used the drug STC sixteen percent (16%) of the 1000 students survived said they had. which one of the following statements about the number (0.16) is correct: A. It is a sample proportion. B. it is a population proportion. C.it is a margin of error. D. it is a randomly chosen number
Out of 500 people sampled, 220 preferred Candidate A. Based on this, find a 90% confidence level for the true proportion of the voting population (pp) prefers Candidate A. Give your answers as decimals, to three places.
The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) office of a major multinational bank is investigating the process used to make recent hires for financial analysts. The office knows that exactly 10% of all applications were from minority candidates and that exactly 8% of the open positions were filled by members of a minority. For the investigation, the DEI office will take a random sample of 900 applications. Let p be the proportion of minority applicants in the sample. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Find the mean of p. 0 (b) Find the standard deviation of p. 0 (c) Compute an approximation for P(p ≤0.08), which is the probability that there will be fewer minority applicants in the sample than were hired by the bank. Round your answer to four decimal places. 0 X Ś
A salesman makes initial telephone contact with potential customers in an effort to assess whether a follow-up visit to their homes is likely to be worthwhile. His experience suggests that 40% of the initial contacts lead to follow-up visits. Suppose he contacts 100 people by telephone and the sample proportion of the follow-up visit is calculated. Which of the following statements is (are) correct? This is a multiple-answer question. It may have more than one correct answers. i. The sample proportion has a normal distribution with a mean of 0.40 and a standard deviation of 04x0.4 = 0.049. 100 Oil. The sample proportion has a normal distribution with a mean of 0.40 and a standard deviation of 0.6. iii. The probability that the sample proportion of the follow-up visit is more than 50% is P(p>0.5) = P(z>04-05)=P(z>-2.04) = 1-0.0207 = 0.9793. iv. The probability that the sample proportion of the follow-up visit is more than 50% is P(p>0.5)=P(2> 05 = P(Z > 2.04) = 1-0.9793= 0.0207.…
