Suppose that a poll taken 10 years ago found that 55% of parents spank their children. Suppose a recent poll of 150 adults with children finds that 65 indicated that they spank their children. Complete parts (a) and (b) below (a) Assuming parents' attitude toward spanking has not changed since the original poll, how many of the 150 parents surveyed would be expected to spank their children? The expected amount of parents surveyed that would spank their children is (Round to the nearest whole number as needed) (b) Do the results of the survey suggest that parents' attitude toward spanking may have changed since the original pol? Why? OA No. 65 is within one standard deviation of the expected amount of adults that spank their children. OB. Yes, 65 is outside the "usualr observation interval of this survey. OC. Yes, 65 is less than the expected amount of adults that spank their children. O D. No, 65 is inside the "usual observation interval of this survey.

Not all visitors to a certain company's website are customers or potential customers. In fact, the company's executives estimate that about 5% of all visitors to the website are looking for other websites. Assume that this estimate is correct and that a random sample of 50 visitors to the website is taken. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Estimate the number of visitors in the sample who actually are looking for the company's website by giving the mean of the relevant distribution (that is, the expectation of the relevant random variable). Do not round your response. (b) Quantify the uncertainty of your estimate by giving the standard deviation of the distribution. Round your response to at least three decimal places.
The 2006 Statistical Abstract of the United States reports on a survey that asked a national sample of 80,000 American households about pet ownership. Suppose (for now) that one-third of all American households own a pet cat. Still supposing that one-third of all American households own a pet cat, between what two values do you expect 95% of all sample proportions to fall?
A study is to be made to estimate the proportion of residents of a certain city and its suburbs who favor the construction of a nuclear power plant near the city. How large a sample is needed if one wishes to be at least 90% confident that the estimate is within 0.03 of the true proportion of residents who favor the construction of the nuclear power plant?
Based on information from Harper's Index, 37 out of a random sample of 100 adult Americans who did not attend college believe in extraterrestrials. However, out of a random sample of 100 adult Americans who did attend college, 47 claim that they believe in extraterrestrials. Does this indicate that the proportion of people who attend college and who believe in extraterrestrials is higher than the proportion who did not attend college? (a) State the hypotheses in plain language. (b) Fill in the table below, then enter this table in the left side of the Rossman-Chance applet. No college College Total Believe in ETs 84 Did not believe in ETs 116 Total 100 100 200 (c) Compute the point estimate for the difference in the proportion believing in extraterrestrials between those not attending college and those attending college. Pne – Pe = (d) Complete at least 1000 simulations in the Rossman-Chance app 2 and report your findings below. (For help with the applet, refer to the e "Using the…
Not all visitors to a certain company's website are customers or potential customers. In fact, the company's executives estimate that about 10% of all visitors to the website are looking for other websites. Assume that this estimate is correct and that a random sample of 40 visitors to the website is taken. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Estimate the number of visitors in the sample who actually are looking for the company's website by giving the mean of the relevant distribution (that is, the expectation of the relevant random variable). Do not round your response. (b) Quantify the uncertainty of your estimate by giving the standard deviation of the distribution. Round your response to at least three decimal places.
According to a report, 57.8% of murders are committed with a firearm. (a) If 300 murders are randomly selected, how many would we expect to be committed with a firearm? (b) Would it be unusual to observe 182 murders by firearm in a random sample of 300 murders? Why?
According to an almanac, 60% of adult smokers started smoking before turning 18 years old. (a) If 300 adult smokers are randomly selected, how many would we expect to have started smoking before turning 18 years old? (b) Would it be unusual to observe 270 smokers who started smoking before turning 18 years old in a random sample of 300 adult smokers? Why?
Suppose that a poll taken 10 years ago found that 55% of parents spank their children. Suppose a recent poll of 350 adults with children finds that 165 indicated that they spank their children. (a) Assuming parents' attitude toward spanking has not changed since the original poll, how many of the 350 parents surveyed would be expected to spank their children? The expected amount of parents surveyed that would spank their children is (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)
A poll in 2017 reported that 680 out of 1026 adults in a certain country believe that marijuana should be legalized. When this poll about the same subject was first conducted in 1969, only 12% of the adults of the country supported legalization. Assume the conditions for using the CLT are met. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. Find and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of adults in the country in 2017 that believe marijuana should be legalized. The 99% confidence interval for the proportion of adults in the country in 2017 that believe marijuana should be legalized is (. ). (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Interpret this interval. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. (Type integers or decimals rounded to three decimal places as needed.) O A. We are % confident that the population proportion of adults who believe marijuana should be legalized is between and O B. There is a % chance that the population…
