The student government claims that 85% of all students favor an increase in student fees to buy indoor potted plants for the classrooms. A random sample of 12 students produced 2 in favor of the project. (a) What is the probability that 2 or fewer in the sample will favor the project, assuming the student government's claim is correct? (Use 3 decimal places.)

After examining her college attendance records for the past few years, Professor Bea Earlee determined that there is a 30% chance that a student will come late to her class. Six students are selected at random. Find the probability that none of the six arrive late to class. Round to 4 decimal places.
A recent survey showed that 71 full-time employees out of a sample of 500 did not use all of their vacation days last year. However, 86 of those studied expressed a desire for more vacation time. Based on this sample, if a full-time employee is chosen at random, what is the probability that he or she is content with the vacation allowance? Express your answer as a fraction in lowest terms or a decimal rounded to the nearest millionth.
Based on a poll, 70% of Internet users are more careful about personal information when using a public Wi-Fi hotspot. What is the probability that among threethree randomly selected Internet users, at least one is more careful about personal information when using a public Wi-Fi hotspot? How is the result affected by the additional information that the survey subjects volunteered to respond? The probability that at least one of them is careful about personal information is? (Round to three decimal places as needed.) How is the result affected by the additional information that the survey subjects volunteered to respond? A. It is very possible that the result is not valid because not everyone uses public Wi-Fi. B. The result should not be impacted by this because volunteers are likely to have the most relevant responses. C. The result should not be impacted by this because there is no reason to lie when responding. D. It is very possible that…
The PEW Research Institute recently conducted a survey of adult Americans regarding Internet shopping. The survey found that 15% of the respondents made a retail purchase on the Internet last week. A retailer wished to verify this claim. In a random sample of 16 adults: a. What is the likelihood that exactly three adults make an Internet purchase during a week? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) Probability b. Of the 16 adults, how many are expected to make a purchase during a week? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) Expected purchases c. What is the likelihood that three or less of the 16 adults make an Internet purchase during a week? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Probability < Prev 13 of 17 Next
According to a survey, 21% of nursing homes in the U.S. received five stars in overall ratings on a scale of 1 to 5. A random sample of seven nursing homes was selected. What is the probability that more than one of them received five stars? Round to four decimal places as needed.
A biologist finds that 35% of fruit flies have short wings and 50% have eye defects. Assuming these two events are independent, what is the probability that a randomly selected fruit fly has neither short wings nor eye defects? Note: Write your answer as a decimal to 4 decimal places-not as a percentage U

A survey showed that 79% of adults need correction (eyeglasses, contacts, surgery, etc.) for their eyesight. If 15 adults are randomly selected, find the probability that at least 14 of them need correction for their eyesight. Is 14 a significantly high number of adults requiring eyesight correction? The probability that at least 14 of the 15 adults require eyesight correction is nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Suppose that a particular candidate for public office is in fact favored by 47% of all registered voters in the district. A polling organization will take a random sample of 600 voters and will use p̂, the sample proportion, to estimate p. What is the approximate probability that p̂ will be greater than 0.5, causing the polling organization to incorrectly predict the result of the upcoming election? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
