Students in an urban school were curious about how many children regularly eat breakfast. They conducted a survey, asking, “Do you eat breakfast regularly?” All 595 students in the school responded to the survey. The resulting data are summarized in the two-way table. Sex Eats Breakfast Regularly Male Female Total Yes 190 110 300 No 130 165 295 Total 320 275 595 Suppose we select a student from the school at random. Define event F as getting a female student and event B as getting a student who eats breakfast regularly. (a) Find P(BC). % Round to 3 decimal places then convert to a percentage. Describe this probability in words. There is about a probability that a student from this school eat breakfast regularly. (b) Find P(female and doesn’t eat breakfast regularly). Round your answer to 3 decimal places. Leave your answer in decimal form. (c) Find P(F or BC ). Round to 3 decimal places. Leave your answer in decimal form.

To compare two elementary schools regarding teaching of reading skills, 12 sets of identical twins were used. In each case, one child was selected at random and sent to school A, and his or her twin was sent to school B. Near the end of fifth grade, an achievement test was given to each child. The results follow: Twin Pair 1 2 3 4 5 6 School A 80 145 118 90 112 118 School B 83 135 115 105 105 113 Twin Pair 7 8 9 10 11 12 School A 98 112 115 144 124 96 School B 93 87 98 132 135 105 Suppose a sign test for matched pairs with a 5% level of significance is used to test the hypothesis that the schools have the same effectiveness in teaching reading skills against the alternate hypothesis that the schools have different levels of effectiveness in teaching reading skills. Let p denote portion of positive signs when the scores of school B are subtracted from the corresponding scores of school A.…

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.
