One of the more popular statistics reported in the media is the president's job approval rating. The approval rating is reported as the proportion of the population who approve of the job that the sitting president is doing and is typically based on a random sample of registered voters. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. (This is a reading assessment question. Be certain of your answer because you only get one attempt on this question.) a) This proportion tends to fluctuate from week to week. Name some reasons for the fluctuation in the statistic. Select all valid reasons below. A. The proportion could be changing due to a large change in the composition of the population. B. The proportion could be changing due to sampling error; different people are in the sample. C. The proportion could be changing because the sampling size of the poll is changing. D. The proportion could be changing because people's attitudes are changing
A researcher conducts a study to investigate whether the obesity rate rural communities differ from the obesity rate from the population at large. He gathered a sample of adults from a small community, measured their weight, and compared it to the population average. What statistical test is appropriate for this study and why?
A question in a poll taken in 2007 asked, "Do you think the penalties for underage drinking should be made more strict, less strict, or remain the same?" The sample proportion that responded "more strict" was 0.61 (61%). This result will be used to estimate the proportion of all adults in the United States who think that penalties for underage drinking should be more strict. The sample consisted of n = 500 randomly selected adults in the United States Calculate a 95% confidence interval that estimates the population proportion who think that penalties for underage drinking should be more strict. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

Tourism is extremely important to the economy of Florida. Hotel occupancy is an often-reported measure of visitor volume and visitor activity (Orlando Sentinel, May 19, 2018). Hotel occupancy data for February in two consecutive years are as follows. Current Year 1,476 1,800 Occupied Rooms Total Rooms 1,422 1,800 a. Formulate the hypothesis test that can be used to determine whether there has been an increase in the proportion of rooms occupied over the one-year period. Let P₁= population proportion of rooms occupied for current year P2 population proportion of rooms occupied for previous year - P2 less than or equal to 0 greater than 0 Ho P1 Ha P1 P2 b. What is the estimated proportion of hotel rooms occupied each year (to 2 decimals)? Current year .80 X Previous Year .77 c. Conduct a hypothesis test. What is the p-value (to 4 decimals)? Use Table 1 from Appendix B. Previous Year p-value = 0.0166 Using a 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion? We can conclude that there…
24. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 26% of Americans are "anti-vax". To verify this, 1,000 Americans were asked and 324 of them said they are "anti-vax". What is the population, sample, statistic, paramter, variable, and constants?
A Pew Research Center report published on February 2, 2022 says, “In a national survey by Pew Research Center, 54% of U.S. adults say they have a favorable opinion of the Supreme Court while 44% have an unfavorable view, and 84% say justices should not bring their political views into decisions.” Answer the given problems based on the assumption that the above figures represent the true proportion of current U.S. people’s opinion. 4.1. If 20 U.S. adults are selected at random, what is the probability that less than half the selected people have favorable view on U.S. Supreme Court? 4.2. If 20 U.S. adults are selected at random, what is the probability that more than half the selected people have unfavorable view on U.S. Supreme Court? 4.3. If 5,128 U.S. adults were interviewed, what are the expected value of the number of people that answered that the justices should not bring their political views into decisions? What is the probability standard deviation in this case?
According to previous studies, 12% of the U.S. population is left-handed. Not knowing this, a high school student claims that the percentage of left-handed people in the U.S. is 14%. The student is going to take a random sample of 1650 people in the U.S. to try to gather evidence to support the claim. Let p be the proportion of left-handed people in the sample. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) ✔ (a) Find the mean of p. P. 0 (b) Find the standard deviation of p. (c) Compute an approximation for P (P<0.14), which is the probability that there will be 14% or fewer left-handed people in the sample. Round your answer to four decimal places. X
