In a recent poll, the Gallup Organization found that 45% of adult Americans believe that the overall state of moral values in the United States is poor. If a survey of a random sample of 15 adults in this country is conducted in which they are asked to disclose their feelings on the overall state of moral values, complete parts (a) through (g) below. (d) Using the binomial distribution, find and interpret the probability that no more than 2 of those surveyed feel the state of morals is poor. The probability that no more than 2 of those surveyed feel the state of morals is poor is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) Interpret the results. In 100 trials of this experiment, we expect about to result in no more than 2 adults who feel the state of morals is poor.

A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned. Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.” Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations. 1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.
In Bayesian statistics, a 90% credible interval (or Bayes interval) covers the true parameter with (subjective) probability 90%. True False
34. What should I buy? A study conducted by the Pew Research Center reported that 58% of cell phone owners used their phones inside a store for guidance on purchasing decisions. A sample of 15 cell phone owners is studied. b. What is the probability that fewer than 10 of them used their phones for guidance on purchasing decisions?
Do you think new package labeling or doing nothing is best? You will want to calculate the percent of bars produced that are within 5 grams of 1000 grams and the percent of bars produced that are within 5 grams of 990 grams. In other words, given a uniform distribution between 980 and 1000, what is the probability of being between 995 and 1005 and what is the probability of being between 985 and 995?
A research team has developed a face recognition device to match photos in a database.From laboratory tests, the recognition accuracy is 95% and trials are assumed to be independent. a. If the research team continues to run laboratory tests, what is the mean number of trials untilfailure? b. What is the probability that the first failure occurs on the tenth trial?
The dataset "nurses" is a random sample of 1,000 cases from “Health Care Provider Credential Data” from Washington State Open Data Portal. In the sample, there are 418 CNA's and 278 of the CNA's have expired credentials. Use the statistics from the nurses dataset to answer the following question: "With 90% confidence, what percent of all CNA's on Washington State's healthcare provider list are expired?"
A- How many scores are included in the computation of the range? B- What does to mean to say that the sample variance is biased? C- How many scores are included in the computation of the variance?
According to the CGMA Economic Index which measures executive sentiment According to the CGMA Economic Index, which measures executive sentiment across the world, 18% of all respondents expressed optimism about the global economy (http://www.aicpa.org, March 29, 2012). Moreover, 22% of the respondents from the United States and 9% from Asia felt optimistic about the global economy.a. What is the probability that an Asian respondent is not optimistic about the global economy?b. If 28% of all respondents are from the United States, what is the probability that a respondent is from the United States and is optimistic about the global economy?c. Suppose 22% of all respondents are from Asia. If a respondent feels optimistic about the global economy, what is the probability that the respondent is from Asia? According to the CGMA Economic Index which measures executive sentiment
Based on a study by Dr. P. Sorita at Indiana University, assume that 12% of us have green eyes. In a study of 650 people, it is found that 86 of them have green eyes. (Use normal distribution to approximate binomial distribution) a. Find the probability of at least 86 people with green eyes among 650 randomly selected people. b. Is 86 people with green eyes significantly high? Why?
