Texas is home to more than one million undocumented immigrants, and most of them are stuck in low-paying jobs. Meanwhile, the state also suffers from a lack of skilled workers. The Texas Workforce Commission estimates that 133,000 jobs are currently unfilled, many because employers cannot find qualified applicants (The Boston Globe, September 29, 2011). Texas was the first state to pass a law that allows children of undocumented immigrants to pay in-state college tuition rates if they have lived in Texas for three years and plan to become permanent residents. The law passed easily back in 2001 because most legislators believed that producing college graduates and keeping them in Texas benefits the business community. In addition, since college graduates earn more money, they also provide the state with more revenue. Carol Capaldo wishes to estimate the mean hourly wage of workers with various levels of education. She collects a sample of the hourly wages (in $) of 30 workers with a…

- According to the website of the Lt. Governor of the State of Hawai'i, the state has the highest rate of homelessness per capita in the nation. Unfortunately, the state is also sometimes a target by the homeless from other states who try to get to Hawai'i for its perennial nice weather. Such people are identified and face either being arrested or given a free one-way ticket back to wherever they came from. At one homeless shelter in Hawai'i, there are 12 individuals from New York and 17 from Louisiana. Of these individuals, what is the probability that 7 individuals from New York and 12 from Louisiana accept to be given a free one-way ticket back to where they came from in order to avoid being arrested?

In 1902, a trust was set up to provide academic awards to American college graduates so they could attend Oxford. The Rhodes Scholarship was named after the primary benefactor of the award, Cecil Rhodes, a British philanthropist who wished to bring students from throughout the world to study at Oxford. Along with an endowment from Rhodes's will, the scholarship continues to be funded by generous benefactors including Canadian businessman John MacBain, who donated almost $120 million dollars to expand the program. The first class of American Rhodes Scholars entered Oxford in 1904. Applying for the Rhodes Scholarship is a rigorous process. Students who wish to apply must first be endorsed by their university. In 2014, 1600 students asked for endorsement but only 877 received it. The strongest applicants are then invited to appear for an interview.
