Chapter 7.2, Problem 10E
Suppose that fund-raisers at a university call recent graduates to request donations for campus outreach programs. They report the following information for last year’s graduates:
Three attempts were made to contact each graduate. A donation of $0 was recorded both for those who were contacted but who declined to make a donation and for those who were not reached in three attempts. Consider the variable x = amount of donation for the population of last year’s graduates of this university.
a. Write a few sentences describing what you think you might see if the value of x was observed for each of 1000 graduates.
b. What is the most common value of x in this population?
c. What is P(x ≥ 25)?
d. What is P(x > 0)?

Several years ago, two companies merged. One of the concerns after the merger was the increasing burden of retirement expenditures. An effort was made to encourage employees to participate in the 401(k) accounts. Nationwide, 62% of
eligible workers participated in these accounts. The accompanying data table contains responses of 30 employees of the company when asked if they were currently participating in a 401(k) account. Complete parts a through d.

a. Determine the sample proportion of company workers who participate in 401(k) accounts.
The sample proportion is
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
b. Determine the sampling error if in reality the company workers have the same proportion of participants in 401(k) accounts as does the rest of the nation.
The error is.
