Chapter 9.7, Problem 87E
A random sample of 100 voters selected from a large population revealed 30 favoring candidate A, 38 favoring candidate B, and 32 favoring candidate C. Find MLEs for the proportions of voters in the population favoring candidates A, B, and C, respectively. Estimate the difference between the fractions favoring A and B and place a 2-standard-deviation bound on the error of estimation.

Wing Foot knows that its stores will not show a profit unless they gross over $940,000 per year. Let A be the event that a new Wing Foot store grosses over $940,000 its first year. Let B be the event that a store grosses over $940,000 its second year. Wing Foot has an administrative policy of closing a new store if it does not show a profit in either of the first two years. Assume that the accounting office at Wing Foot provided the following information: 58% of all Wing Foot stores show a profit the first year; 72% of all Wing Foot store show a profit the second year (this includes stores that did not show a profit the first year); however, 86% of Wing Foot stores that showed a profit the first year also showed a profit the second year.
