A July 21 (just a reminder that July 21 is National Junk Food Day) survey on www.HuffingtonPost.com asked people to choose their
favorite junk food from a list of choices. Of the 8002 people who responded to the survey, 2049 answered chocolate, 345 said
sugary candy. 1271 mentioned ice cream, 775 indicated fast food, 650 said cookies, 1107 mentioned chips, 490 said cake, and 1315
indicated pizza. Although the results were not broken down by gender, suppose that the following table represents the results for
the 8002 people who responded, assuming that there were 4801 females and 3201 males included in the survey.

A company that produces television shows is interested in what type of show people would like to watch for a prime time slot (crime drama, animated comedy, or reality contest).
Explain why it is better to select people for the survey using a random process rather than selecting people for the survey who say they watch television with their children.
For its "music 360 "survey, nielsen co asked teenagers and adults how each group has listened to music in the past 12 months. Nearly two thirds of U.s teenagers under the age of 18 say they use google inc's video sharing site to listen to music and 35% of the teenagers said they use pandora media Inc's custom online radio service( the wall street journal, august 14, 2012). Suppose 10 teenagers are selected randomly to be interviewed about how they listen to music.a. is randomly selecting 10 teenagers and asking whether or not they use pandora media inc's online service a binomial experiment?b. what is the probability that none of the 10 teenagers use pandora media inc, online radio service?c. what is the proabbility that 4 out of the 10 teenagers use pandora media inc online radio service?d. what is the probability that at least 2 of the 10 use pandora media online radio service?

If a random sample of 40 players is selected, then p is the proportion of players in the sample who do not win a prize. What is the mean of the sampling distribution of p?
