study of people who wear glasses at a certain company was done and included 100 people in the 18 - 22 age bracket (37 of which wore glasses), 115 people in the 23- 30 bracket ( 45 of which wore glasses) and 85 people 31- 40 ( 50 of which wore glass). If a person is randomly selected from this sample, find the probability of getting someone who is age 23-30 or wears glasses?

Suppose that we know that 33.8% of the people born in the United Sates between 1936 and 1951 have BLUE eyes. Three randomly selected Americans are selected and examined for eye color.

Suppose the proportion of the people who are married in the population is about 0.54 and consider the following experiment in which a researcher chooses at random 5 people from the population with replacement, recording each individual's marital status. Let the random variable, y, denote the number of people chosen who are married. Please answer the following: How many ways are there to draw exactly 3 married people in this experiment? On average, how many married individuals would be chosen? What is the probability of selecting one or fewer married people in this experment?
Based on a smartphone survey, assume that 43% of adults with smartphones use them in theaters. In a separate survey of 241 adults with smartphones, it is found that 101 use them in theaters. a. If the 43% rate is correct, find the probability of getting 101 or fewer smartphone owners who use them in theaters. b. Is the result of 101 significantly low?
The prevalence of glaucoma in elderly people among high-risk populations within a city is approximately 5%. Suppose a mobile unit is sent to various neighborhoods throughout the city to identify subjects for a new glaucoma study. If the unit evaluates 500 people, what is the probability of identifying at least 20 cases of glaucoma?
Pollsters are concerned about declining levels of cooperation among persons contacted in surveys. A pollster contacts 95 people in the 18-21 age bracket and finds that 81 of them respond and 14 refuse to respond. When 260 people in the 22-29 age bracket are contacted, 235 respond and 25 refuse to respond. Assume that 1 of the 355 people is randomly selected. Find the probability of getting someone in the 22-29 age bracket or someone who responds.Report the answer as a percent rounded to one decimal place accuracy. You need not enter the "%" symbol.P(22-29 or responds) =

If it is believed that 60% of all adults are very satisfied with their lives, what is the probability that at least 610 adults in our sample are very satisfied with their lives?Let X be the number (out of 1010) of adults who are very satisfied with their lives. What distribution should X have? Why?

Jenny works for a local brewing company. She and her team mates try to estimate the Hong Kong consumers’ preference on their beer brand compared to other imported ones. They performed a survey asking if the respondent prefers the company’s brand the most or not. Based on this survey result, they want to decide how much money the company needs to invest on brand promotions in the coming year. This is an important decision for the company, and the management wants to have the probability that the sample proportion p is +/- 3% from the actual proportion p to be very high (i.e., at least 99%). In this case, what is the desirable sample size n for the following two cases? Give the answer in the form of: at least ___ x100 samples. Case i. When the actual proportion is 50%. Case ii. When the actual proportion is 10%. Explain why the sample sizes required to achieve the same accuracy in the two cases are different.
