The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA collected data from 203,967 incoming first-time, full-time freshmen from 270 four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. 71.3% of those students replied that, yes, they believe that same-sex couples should have the right to legal marital status. Suppose that you randomly pick eight first-time, full-time freshmen from the survey. You are interested in the number that believes that same sex-couples should have the right to legal marital status. What is the probability that at most five of the freshmen replies “yes"?

Among students at a nearby college, the proportion who say they’re interested in their congressional district’s election results has traditionally been 70%. After a series of lackluster debates on campus, a political scientist claims that the proportion, p, of students at the college who say they’re interested in their districts election results is now less than 70%. A pill is commissioned, and 154 out of random sample of 230 students at the college say they’re interested in their districts election results. Is there enough evidence to support the political scientist’s claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table.
According to Inc.com, 71% of job seekers used social media in their job search in 2018. Many believe this number is inflated by the proportion of 22- to 30-year-old job seekers who use social media in their job search. A survey of 22- to 30 -year-old job seekers showed that 310 of the 370 respondents use social media in their job search. In addition, 275 of the 370 respondents indicated they have electronically submitted a resume to an employer.
Medical researchers followed 6272 Swedish men for 30 years to see if there was any association between the amount of fish in their diet and prostate cancer. (“Fatty Fish Consumption and Risk of Prostate Cancer,” Lancet, June 2001). A summary of the data is given in the table below. Fish Consumption No Prostate Cancers Prostate Cancers Never/Seldom 110 14 Small part of diet 2420 201 Moderate part of diet 2769 209 Large part of diet 507 42 A) If a patient is randomly selected, what is the probability that he/she had prostate cancer given that fish was never or seldom a part of the diet? Round your answer to three decimal places and include the leading zero. B) If a patient is randomly selected, what is the probability that s/he ate fish as a large part of their diet given that they had prostate cancer. Round your answer to two decimal places and include the leading zero.
In recent years, many states have enacted tougher voter identification laws requiring a government issued photo ID. Proponents claim that these laws are necessary to reduce voter fraud. Opponents claim that voter fraud is rare and that since as many as 11% of eligible voters do not have the required identification, these tougher laws will discourage millions of minorities and low-income Americans from voting. The Washington Post conducted a national poll (July 7-19, 2012) and found that 1558 out of 2064 adults supported the tougher voter ID laws. 1)Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults who approve of tougher voter ID laws. Document your work in the space provided below. Document how you computed the margin of error and the confidence interval in the space provided below. Round all numbers to 4 decimal places. 2)Is it likely that three-fourths of adults approve of these new laws?
A tv report conducted a survey of 681 people in Washington state and found that 26% of the population believe that Mt Saint Helen's will have a repeat eruption this year. In the accompanying dialogue, the reporter states, we are 91% confident that the true proportion of people in Washington state who believe that Mt saint Helen's wil have a repeat eruption this year lies between 20% and 32%. What does 91% represent in the report?
A small college has been accused of gender bias in its admissions to graduate programs. a. Out of 500 men who applied, 255 were accepted. Out of 700 women who applied, 240 were accepted. Find the acceptance rate for each gender. Does this suggest bias? b. The college then looked at each of the two departments with graduate programs and found the data below. Compute the acceptance rate within each department by gender. Does this suggest bias? Department Men Women Applied Admitted Applied Admitted Dept A 400 240 100 90 Dept B 100 15 600 150 c. Looking at our results from Parts a and b, what can you conclude? Is there gender bias in this college’s admissions? If so, in which direction?
Sierra College students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course were asked to participate in an anonymous onlne survey. The survey asked the students "Which type of device will you primarily use to access your online course in Canvas?". Of the 152 students who answered this question, 20 responded "a desktop computer", 121 responded "a laptop computer", 6 responded "a smartphone", and 5 responded "a tablet". The Sierra College Mathematics Department believes that less than 5% of students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course primarily uses a smartphone to access their online course in Canvas. Use the data collected in the survey to conduct a hypothesis testing procedure to test this belief. What conclusion should be reached according to the results of this hypothesis test?
In 1993 approximately 62.1 million Americans suffered injuries, as reported by the National Center for Health Statistics in Vital and Health Statistics. More males (33.4 million) were injured than females (28.7 million). Those statistics do not tell us whether males and females tend to be injured in similar circumstances. One set of categories commonly used for accident circumstances. One set of categories commonly used for accident circumstance is "while at work," "home", "motor vehicle", and "other". A random sample of accident reports gave the data in contingency table below. Male Female While at work 19 24 27 Home 14 Motor Vehicle 26 Other At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that an association exists between accident circumstances and sex? Type in Canvas the grand total. 35
Assume that 135 surveys are completed. Of those surveyed, 61 responded positively to effectiveness, 65 responded positively to side effects, and 63 responded positively to cost. Also, 26 responded positively to both effectiveness and side effects, 29 to effectiveness and cost, 26 to side effects and cost, and 16 to none of the items. How many responded positively to all three?
