The manufacturer of the ColorSmart-5000 television set claims 95 percent of its sets last at least five years without needing a single repair. In order to test this claim, a consumer group randomly selects 406 consumers who have owned a ColorSmart-5000 television set for five years. Of these 406 consumers, 316 say their ColorSmart-5000 television sets did not need a repair, whereas 90 say their ColorSmart-5000 television sets did need at least one repair. Determine the sample size needed in order to be 99 percent confident that p, the sample proportion of ColorSmart-5000 television sets that last at least five years without a single repair, is within a margin of error of .03 of p, the population proportion of sets that last at least five years without a single repair. (Round your p answer to 5 decimal places. Round your n answer to the next whole number.) Using p = and z0.005 = 2.576 n

A random survey of enrollment at 10 community colleges across the United States yielded the following figures: 2523; 1707; 5420; 2835; 1129; 5452; 2360; 1448; 2958; and 4110. What is the 99% Error Bound (EBM) of the population mean?
New York State has approximately 250,000 employees across over 70 state agencies, commissions and boards, ranging in size from approximately 50 to over 5,000 employees. Assume that you wanted to draw a representative sample of 1,000 New York State employees. Describe two ways that you could draw such a sample and briefly describe the advantages and disadvantages of each of these sampling approaches.
We are asked to evaluate a cell phone app for identifying poisonous plants. The app takes as input a picture of a plant, and classifies it as either poisonous or safe. We test the app with a large number of plant pictures, and observe the following: • 1% of all pictures depict poisonous plants. • The app identifies 90% of the pictures showing poisonous plants correctly as poisonous. • Among all pictures showing safe plants, the app identifies 91.4% percent as safe. Suppose we choose a random picture, and the app identifies it as poisonous. What is the probability that the depicted plant is safe?
A company has been rating television programs for more than 60 years. It uses several sampling procedures, but its main one is to track the viewing patterns of 20,000 households. These contain more than 45,000 people and are chosen to form a cross-section of the overall population. The households represent various locations, ethnic groups, and income brackets. The data gathered from the sample of 20,000 households are used to draw inferences about the population of all households in the United States. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. What strata are used in the sample? Choose the correct answer below. A. The various locations, ethnic groups, and income brackets that are represented B. The various sampling procedures and viewing patterns C. The number of households and people that are chosen D. The television ratings Why is it important to have a stratified sample for these ratings? Choose the correct answer below. A. Stratified…
Determine whether the sampling method described below appears to be sound or is flawed. In a survey of 337 subjects, each was asked about the importance of the appearance of a job applicant. The survey subjects were human resource professionals who randomly selected by pollsters from a reputable market research firm. It is flawed because it is from a small sample. It appears to be sound because it is a census. It is flawed because it is a voluntary response sample. It appears to be sound because the data are not biased in any way.

An executive at the home office of Big Rock Life Insurance is considering three branch managers as candidates for promotion to vice president. The branch reports include records showing sales volume for each salesperson in the branch (in hundreds of thousands of dollars). A random sample of these records was selected for salespersons in each branch. All three branches are located in cities in which per capita income is the same. The executive wishes to compare these samples to see if there is a significant difference in performance of salespersons in the three different branches. If so, the information will be used to determine which of the managers to promote.

Primary seat belt laws allow police to stop a motorist for not wearing a seat belt. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the percentage of drivers wearing seat belts in the Limpopo province was 68.5% in 2017 and 72% in 2018. Assume that these percentages are based on random samples of 1000 drivers in 2017 and 1050 in 2018. Suppose you must test at 5% level of significance whether the proportion of all drivers in Limpopo province who used seat belts in 2017 is lower than that for 2018. 1 Questions I) Determine the alternative hypothesis to be tested: II) Determine the value of test statistic: III) Determine the p-value for this problem: IV) the conclusion Since Z=-1.734 is greater than Z subscript 0.05 end subscript equals negative 1.645, we then reject the null hypothesis at 5% level of significance and conclude that the proportion of all drivers in Limpopo province who used seat belts in 2017 is lower than that for 2018. b) Since Z=-1.734 is less…
