The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) conducts the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) and reports a variety of information on each county in America. In the third quarter of 2016, the QCEW reported the total taxable earnings, in millions, of all wage earners in all 3222 counties in America. Suppose that James is an economist who collects a simple random sample of the total taxable earnings of workers in 56 American counties during the third quarter of 2016. According to the QCEW, the true population mean and standard deviation of taxable earnings, in millions of dollars, by county are µ = 28.29 and o = 33.493, respectively. Let X be the total taxable earnings, in millions, of all wage earners in a county. The mean total taxable earnings of all wage earners in a county across all the counties in James' sample is x. Use the central limit theorem (CLT) to determine the probability P that the mean taxable wages in James' sample of 56 counties will be less than $33 million. Report your answer to four decimal places.

AutoWrecks, Inc. sells auto insurance. AutoWrecks keeps close tabs on its customers' driving records, updating its rates according to the trends indicated by these records. AutoWrecks' records indicate that, in a "typical" year, roughly 70% of the company's customers do not commit a moving violation, 10% commit exactly one moving violation, 15% commit exactly two moving violations, and 5% commit three or more moving violations. This past year's driving records for a random sample of 100 AutoWrecks customers are summarized by the first row of numbers in the table below. That row gives this year's observed frequency for each moving violation category for the sample of 100 AutoWrecks customers. The second row of numbers gives the frequencies expected for a sample of 100 AutoWrecks customers if the moving violations distribution for this year is the same as the distribution for a "typical" year. The bottom row of numbers contains the following value for each of the moving…

A researcher is interested in determining if the model used for the distribution of main economic concerns in the year 2003 for residents in a certain county can still be used in the year 2004. A sample of 370 residents from that county was surveyed in 2004. The following table displays the model for the distribution of economic concerns for the year 2003 and the observed number of sampled respondents in the survey for the same economic concerns for the year 2004.

Antibiotic resistance. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health Antibiotic resistance occurs when disease-causing microbes no longer respond to antibiotic drug therapy. Because such resistance is typically genetic and transferred to the next generations of microbes, it is a very serious public health problem. Gonorrhea is the second most commonly reported notifiable disease in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 27% of gonorrhea cases tested in 2010 were resistant to at least one of the three major antibiotics commonly used to treat this sexually transmitted disease.3 A physician treated 10 cases of gonorrhea at some point in 2010. What is the distribution of cases resistant to at least one of the three major antibiotics? What is the probability that exactly 1 out of the 10 cases was resistant to at least one of the three major antibiotics? What is the probability that exactly 2 out of 10…

The International Average Salary Income Database provides a comparison of average salaries for various professions. The data are gathered from publications and reports obtained directly from government agencies (such as the US Bureau of Labor Statistics) or from the International Labour Organization. Suppose an industrial/organizational psychologist is interested in the relationships between job satisfaction, job performance, and job compensation. She has data from five different countries on the average monthly salaries paid to firefighters. She begins her analysis by converting all of the salary data into US dollars: Country Lithuania Germany the United States Australia Austria Country Lithuania Germany the United States Average Monthly Salary(US dollars) $185 Australia Austria $1,895 $2,729 $2,605 $1,134 Standard Deviation (US dollars) $27.80 $473.80 $818.60 z-score for $1,500 Salary $781.60 $283.60 Original Currency litas To appreciate the differences among the countries, she…

Practice question #3 Investigators want to know if those who work long hours have more trouble sleeping. In one sample of 190 British civil servants who worked more than 40 hours a week, 95 of them said they usually get less than 7 hours of sleep per night. In a second sample of 150 British civil servants who worked between 35 and 40 hours per week, 63 of them said they usually get less than 7 hours of sleep per night. The investigators believe these are represent samples of the populations. Find a 95% Confidence Interval for the difference in proportions of these two populations that get less than 7 hours of sleep per night. Then interpret the confidence interval. Be sure to check that any necessary conditions are met first. Round final answers to 3 decimal places. Verify conditions are appropriate for method: Interval: ________________________ Does the interval contain zero? __________ What does this information lead you to conclude?
