- Calculatearrow_forwardRecently the U.S. Department of Education released a report on online learning stating that blended instruction, a combination of conventional face-to-face and online instruction, appears more effective in terms of student performance than conventional teaching. You decide to poll the incoming students at your institution to see if they prefer courses that blend face-to-face instruction with online components. In an SRS of 300 incoming students, you find that 211 prefer this type of course. Using the 68–95–99.7 rule, if you had drawn an SRS from the United States, you would expect p̂ to fall between what two percents about 95% of the time?

Nonvoters are very different demographically from likely voters.Nonvoters are more racially and ethnically diverse. 43% of those who are not likely to cast a ballot are Hispanic, African or other racial and ethnic minorities, roughly double the percentage amoung likely voters(22%) (Source: Pew Research Center, October, 2014, "The Party of Nonvoters"). Suppose you interview 10 people who are considered nonvoters. Round answers to 4 decimal places.a.) What is the probability that 5 of them are an ethnic minority? b.) What is the probability that more than 8 are an ethnic minority? c.) What is the probability that at least 8 are not an ethnic minority? d.)
