Advertisers contract with internet service providers and search engines to place ads on websites. They pay a fee based on the number of potential customers who click on
their ad. Unforțunately, click fraud-the practice of someone clicking on an ad solely for the purpose of driving up advertising revenue–has become a problem. Businessweek
reports that 4C percent of advertisers claim they have been a victim of click fraud. Suppose a simple random sample of 390 advertisers will be taken to learn more about
how they are affected by this practice. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
(a) What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within ±0.04 of the population proportion experiencing click fraud?
(b) What is the probability that the sample proportion will be greater than 0.45?
According to a report published by the center for Disease Control (CDC) in 2011, approximately one in two people with asthma had an asthma attack in2008.

- Here are the countries with the five highest estimated costs of software piracy: United States ($9.1 billion), China ($8.7 billion), India ($2.7 billion), France ($2.1 billion), United Kingdom ($1.9 billion). Among these five countries, the United States has 37.1% of the cost of piracy. Is it correct to conclude that the United States has 37.1% of the total cost of piracy for all countries? What do these results tell us about the costs of piracy in the other countries not included here?arrow_forwardThe Majoring in Money study by Sallie Mae from December 2015 showed that most college students manage their credit cards in a reasonable way. It showed that almost two-thirds of students pay their credit card balance in full every month and 25% of students who own credit cards make partial payments that exceed the minimum amount due. You are curious to find out if credit card payment behavior of students has changed since 2015 and collect data from a random sample of 370 students.

- The Los Angeles City Controller's office calculated that in 2013, the city employed 47030 full-time employees and 10142 part-time employees. Assume that an outside advocacy group had been lobbying the Mayor's office to convert part-time workers into full-time workers throughout 2014. The Controller's office makes its calculations annually. Suppose that the outside advocacy group wanted to know the proportion of city employees (excluding per-event employees) who are full-time employees p in June 2014 to gauge if their lobbying efforts had been effective. Suppose that the group surveyed a random sample of 1000 city employees (excluding per-event employees) in June 2014 and found that 845 were full-time employees and 155 were part-time employees. If the advocacy group planned to use a one-sample z-test for a proportion to test their lobbying eforts, the appropriate null hypothesis would be and the appropriate alternative hypothesis would bearrow_forwardTo the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the reasonableness of total itemized deductions depends on the taxpayer's adjusted gross income.
