Suppose that 47% of the population of U.S. voters favors a particular presidential candidate. If a random sample of 40 voters is chosen, approximate the probability that at least 21 favor this candidate. Use the normal approximation to the binomial with a correction for continuity. Round your answer to at least three decimal places. Do not round any intermediate steps. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

Can balloons hold more air or more water before bursting? A student purchased a large bag of 12-inch balloons. He randomly selected 10 balloons from the bag and then randomly assigned half of them to be filled with air until bursting and the other half to be filled with water until bursting. He used devices to measure the amount of air and water was dispensed until the balloons burst. Here are the data

A light fixture contains five lightbulbs. The lifetime of each bulb is exponentially distributed with mean 199.0 hours. Whenever a bulb burns out, it is replaced. Let T be the time of the first bulb replacement. Let X1, i = 1, . . . , 5, be the lifetimes of the five bulbs. Assume the lifetimes of the bulbs are independent. 1. Find P( X1 > 100). (Round the final answer to four decimal places.) 2. Find P( X1 > 100 and X2 > 100 and • • • and X5 > 100). (Round the final answer to four decimal places.) 3. Find P(T ≤ 100). (Round the final answer to four decimal places.) 4. Let t be any positive number. Find P(T ≤ t), which is the cumulative distribution function of T. 5. Find the mean of T. (Round the final answer to two decimal places.)
, 16. A statistically minded fraternity junior keeps records on how many girls he has to ask before one agrees to be his date for a Saturday football game. His school plays five home games and his five acceptances come on the 3rd, 6th, 4th, 2nd, and 9th girl he asks. Assume that the probability, e, that any girl he asks will accept his invitation is constant from girl to girl. Mind ML estimate of e.
A charity holds a raffle in which each ticket is sold for $30. A total of 12,000 tickets are sold. They raffle one grand prize which is a Mercedes Benz E350 valued at $45,000 along with 4-second prizes of Kawasaki motorcycles valued at $9,000 each. What are the expected winnings for a single ticket buyer? Express to at least three decimal place accuracy in dollar form (as opposed to cents).
Each person has I 75% probability of going to ches Tahoe restaurant. You randomly select 8people. a.What is the probability that 5 people will not go to the restaurant? b. You ramdomly select 50 people.use normal approximation to find the probability that at least 35people will go to the restaurant. Solve it by binomial.
Assume that we have made 10 repeated measurements of a quantity, and as a result the error assigned to the “best estimate” of the mean is 6. If we then expand our data set to a total of 20 measurements, the error in the mean will reduce to just 3. True or False
A survey organization, as part of the United States Census Bureau, conducts a yearly census similar to the one taken every ten years, but with a smaller percentage of participants. One of these surveys estimates with 90% confidence that the mean household income in the U.S. falls between $69,709 and $69,917. Find the point estimate for mean U.S. household income. (Enter your answer as a whole number.) x = Find the error bound for mean U.S. household income. (Enter your answer as a whole number.) EBM =
