Question 1
A consultancy firm took a random sample of the accounts of a mid-sized superannuation fund that draws clients from across Australia. The firm’s aim was to investigate the size of superannuation balances in the fund for various client categories. Data on the first eleven accounts are shown below.
Recall the consultancy firm in Question 1 that took a random sample of the accounts of a mid-sized superannuation fund with clients across Australia to investigate the superannuation balances for various client categories. The table below provides counts from the data set for the variables Industry and Gender. Use the table to answer the following questions.
i. Determine the probability that a superannuation account in the sample is from a Male account holder; ii. Determine the probability that an account in the sample is from a Male, given that the person works in Private industry; and iii. By considering the prior two probabilities, say if it appears that the variable Gender is…

- The Psychic Friends Network (PFN) received telephone calls in 1999 from over 1.5 million people. A journal article attempted to shed some light onto the credibility of the PFN. One of the psychic friends' psychics agreed to take part in the following experiment. 10 cards are shown to the "psychic" then shuffled, and one is chosen at random. The psychic will then try to identify which card was drawn without seeing it. Assume that the experiment was repeated 15 times and that the results of any two experiments are independent of one another. Step 1 of 4: If we assume that the psychic is a fake (i.e, they are merely guessing at the cards and have no psychic powers), how many of the 15 cards do we expect the psychic to guess correctly?

However, in their last survey taken October 31–November 3, 2012, just before the election held on November 6, 2012, they asked this question of a sample of 2,709 likely voters. Why do you think Pew did this? (Select all that apply.) Larger samples provide better information about the population. The polling organization wants to increase the accuracy of its population.

To answer this question, suppose that this year researchers conduct another survey with a random sample of 1,100 adults in this age group. Suppose that 35% are living at home with their parents. Assuming that the variability in random samples will be the same as in the 2014 study, find the 95% confidence interval for this year and interpretit. a) Verify that the conditions for the use of the normal model are met based on the Pew Research Center study. b) Calculate the standard error based onthe 2014 study. c) Find the 95% confidence interval for this year and represent it as a line segment. d) Interpret your…arrow_forward
