Fishing: Barbless Hooks In a combined study of northern pike, cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, and lake trout, it was found that 26 out of 855 fish died when caught and released using barbless hooks on flics or lures. All hooks were removed from the fish (Source: A National Symposium on Catch and Release Fishing. Humboldt State University Press).
(a) Let p represent the proportion of all pike and trout that the (i.e., p is the mortality rate) when caught and released using barbless hooks. Find a point estimate for p.
(b) Find a
(c) Cheek Requirements Is the normal approximation to the binomial justified in this problem? Explain.

- Urban Travel Times Population of cities and driving times are related, as shown in the accompanying table, which shows the 1960 population N, in thousands, for several cities, together with the average time T, in minutes, sent by residents driving to work. City Population N Driving time T Los Angeles 6489 16.8 Pittsburgh 1804 12.6 Washington 1808 14.3 Hutchinson 38 6.1 Nashville 347 10.8 Tallahassee 48 7.3 An analysis of these data, along with data from 17 other cities in the United States and Canada, led to a power model of average driving time as a function of population. a Construct a power model of driving time in minutes as a function of population measured in thousands b Is average driving time in Pittsburgh more or less than would be expected from its population? c If you wish to move to a smaller city to reduce your average driving time to work by 25, how much smaller should the city be?arrow_forwardList the sample space of each experiment.
