Textbook Question
Chapter 8.4, Problem 46E
It is known that roughly 2/3 of all human beings have a dominant right foot or eye. Is there also right-sided dominance in kissing behavior? The article “Human Behavior: Adult Persistence of Head-Turning Asymmetry” (Nature, 2003: 771) reported that in a random sample of 124 kissing couples, both people in 80 of the couples tended to lean more to the right than to the left.
- a. If 2/3 of all kissing couples exhibit this right-leaning behavior, what is the
probability that the number in a sample of 124 who do so differs from theexpected value by at least as much as what was actually observed? - b. Does the result of the experiment suggest that the 2/3 figure is implausible for kissing behavior? State and test the appropriate hypotheses.

1. The CLT provides an approximate sampling distribution for the arithmetic average Ỹ of a
random sample Y₁, . . ., Yn f(y). The parameters of the approximate sampling distribution
depend on the mean and variance of the underlying random variables (i.e., the population
mean and variance). The approximation can be written to emphasize this, using the expec-
tation and variance of one of the random variables in the sample instead of the parameters
