Cyberbullying In 2018, the Pew Research Center did a study on cyberbullying. A sample of 743 teens were asked if they had ever experienced any of the below 6 types of cyberbullying while online or via their cellphone. Those who selected yes to one or more of these questions were considered to be a target of cyberbullying.

- SAccording to Inc.com, 79% of job seekers used social media in their job search in 2018. Many believe this number is inflated by the proportion of 22- to 30- year-old job seekers who use social media in their job search. A survey of 22- to 30-year-old job seekers showed that 310 of the 370 respondents use social media in their job search. In addition, 275 of the 370 respondents indicated they have electronically submitted a resume to an employer. a. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the results of the survey justify concluding the proportion of 22- to 30-year-old job seekers who use social media in their job search exceeds the proportion of the population that use social media in their job search.

They asked the following question: "As you know, the Friday after Thanksgiving is one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Looking ahead, do you personally plan on shopping on the Friday after Thanksgiving, or not?" Of the 515 men who responded, 16% said "Yes." Of the 500 women who responded, 20% said "Yes." The standard error of the differences in proportions (PM - Pw) is about SE = 0.025. Use the normal distribution to test, at the 5% level, if the proportions of men and women who planned to shop on the Friday after Thanksgiving are significantly different. The sample size is large enough to use the normal distribution. Z= i p-value = i There is ✓evidence that the proportion of men and women who planned to shop the Friday after Thanksgiving are significantly different.arrow_forwardGallup conducted a survey of 1,015 randomly selected U.S. adults about "Black Friday" shopping.

- " The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA collected data from 203,967 incoming first-time, full-time freshmen from 270 four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. 71.4% of those students replied that, yes, they believe that same-sex couples should have the right to legal marital status. Suppose that you randomly pick eight first-time, full-time freshmen from the survey. You are interested in the number that believes that same-sex couples should have the right to legal marital status"I need help constructing the probability distribution function (PDF).
