In the Aloha state, you are very unlikely to be murdered! However, it is considerably more likely that your house might be burgled, your car might be stolen, or you might be punched in the nose. That said, Hawaii is still a great place for a vacation or, if you are very lucky, to live. The following numbers represent the crime rates per 100,000 population in Hawaii: murder, 3.6; rape, 29.4; robbery, 79.3; house burglary, 867.6; motor vehicle theft, 531.7; assault, 118.3.
Could the information as reported be displayed as a circle graph? Explain. Hint: Other forms of crime, such as arson, are not included in the information. In addition, some crimes might occur together.

- Is the lottery fair? Powerball is a multistate lottery in which players try to guess the numbers that will turn up in a drawing of numbered balls. One of the balls drawn is the "Powerball." Matching the number drawn on the Powerball increases one's winnings. In a 17 month period, the Powerball was drawn from a collection of 35 balls numbered 1 through 35. A total of 149 drawings were made. For the purpose of this exercise, we grouped the numbers in to five categories: 1-7, 8-14, and so on. If the lottery is fair, then the winning number is equally likely to occur in any category. Following are the observed frequencies. Test the hypothesis that each of the categories is equally likely. Use the 0.05 level of significance and the critical value method with the table.

- It’s that time of year again at Isaac’s Fireworks Store! New Year’s! Sale! Sale! Sale! However, Isaac is less than excited because last year he had a lot of complaints about a large number of defective fireworks that he sold. Isaac wants to know what percentage of his firework stock is defective. First, he plans to test his bottle rockets, so he takes a sample of 200 randomly chosen bottle rockets and he tests them. Of the 200, 14 failed. Construct a 80% confidence interval for the true proportion of bottle rockets that will fail.arrow_forwardIs the lottery fair?
