A population consists of a batch of 24,683 aspirin tablets, and it includes 1,050 that are defective because they do not meet specifications.

1. For her botany class project, Jennifer wonders if there is a connection between the average weight of watermelons a vine produces and the root depth of the vine. Jennifer suspects that vines with deeper roots have a better water supply and produce larger melons. From a large watermelon field, 10 vines are chosen at random. At the end of 8 weeks, the watermelons are removed from each vine and the average weight of the watermelons from each vine is determined. Each plant is carefully dug up and its root depth (or length) is measure. Let x represent the root depth (to the nearest inch) and y be the mean weight of the watermelons on the vine (in pounds). Suppose that x = 17, s, = 6, y = 12, s, = 5.1, and r = = 0.93. a. Find the equation of the least squares regression line (round a and b to the nearest tenth). b.

Refer to the following scenario. A government official is in charge of allocating social programs throughout the city of Vancouver. He will decide where these social outreach programs should be located based on the percentage of residents living below the poverty line in each region of the city. He takes a simple random sample of 120 people living in Gastown and finds that 21 have an annual income that is below the poverty line. For each of the following statements, specify whether the statement is a correct interpretation of the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of Gastown residents living below the poverty line. A. 17.50% (21/120) of Gastown residents are living below the poverty line. ? B. There is a 95% probability that the true proportion of Gastown residents who are living below the poverty line equals 21/120. C.
