3. About 68% of the students at Fairview Community College favor a new policy regarding parking on campus. Suppose we are interested in the proportion of 65 students in a mathematics class who favor the policy. (a) Is the normal approximation to the proportion p^= r/n valid? Explain. (b) What is the probability that the proportion of the class who favor the policy is at least two fifths? (c) What is the probability that the proportion of the class who favor the policy is no more than 70%?

Suppose a survey of 899 college students who were asked about their smoking behavior. Of the students surveyed, 262 classified themselves as nonsmokers, but said "yes" when asked later in the survey if they smoked. These students were classified as "phantom smokers," meaning that they did not view themselves as smokers even though they do smoke at times. The authors were interested in using these data to determine if there is convincing evidence that more than 25% of college students fall into the phantom smoker category. Suppose that the sample of 899 college students can be regarded as representative of college students in the United States. (a) What hypotheses would you test to answer the question posed? H0: p = 0.25 versus Ha: p ≠ 0.25 H0: p ≠ 0.25 versus Ha: p = 0.25 H0: p = 0.25 versus Ha: p > 0.25 H0: p < 0.25 versus Ha: p > 0.25 H0: p = 0.25 versus Ha: p < 0.25 (b) Is the sample size large enough for a large-sample test for a population…
The Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) conducted another study on the monthly gross income (in RM) in Malaysia for 2017. Another four states are selected and the data obtained are shown in Table 2. The Boxplot of the data is given in Figure 1. Based on Figure 1,(i) Determine the shape of the distribution of monthly gross income for Sarawak and Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur (W.P.KL). (ii) Given that Q1 ≈ 4900 and Q3 ≈ 9900 , prove that there exist outlier for Wilayah PersekutuanKuala Lumpur (W.P.KL) as illustrated in the Figure 1. Show your calculations.
A panel of dentists is interested in testing two different toothpaste brands (A and B) to see if there is a relationship between the brand and whether or not the patient has a cavity at their next appointment. A representative sample of 60 patients is recruited to take part in the study. At their first appointment of the year, each subject is assigned to brush their teeth with one of the two brands for the next six months. At their follow-up appointment six months later, they were checked for cavities. To test for significance of their findings, which of the following should the dentists use? Select one: a.Paired t-test b.One-sample t-test for a mean c.Linear Regression d.One-sample Z-test for a proportion e.Chi-Square test for independence f.Two-Sample t-test g.One-sample Z-test for a mean

An article describes a survey of 2,096 adult Americans. Survey participants were asked if they were football fans and also if they agreed or disagreed that the rules that the National Football League adopted in 2010 designed to limit head injuries have been effective. Data from the survey are summarized in the table below. Agree Disagree Total Football Fan 673, 543, 1,216. Not a Football Fan 199, 681, 880. Total 872, 1,224, 2,096. Suppose that a survey participant is to be selected at random. Consider the following events. A = event selected participant agreed that the rules have been effective D = event selected participant disagreed that the rules have been effective F = event selected participant was a football fan (a) Calculate the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (i) P(A) = (ii) P(D) = (iii) P(A|F) = (iv) P(A|FC) = (b) Are the events F and A independent events? Justify your answer using relevant probabilities.

Ariatnam, Najafi, and Morones (Journal of professional Issues in Engineering Education andPractice, 2002) describe an overview of academies in horizontal directional drilling conducted totrain engineers and inspector for the California Department of Transportation. A pretest wasadministered on the first day prior to any instruction. Instruction and field experience wereprovided over a 3 day period, followed by a final test administered at the end of the last day.Although the average final test score of 75.27% was higher than the average pretest score of55.61%, the difference was not significant.a. Identify the type of the study described here.b. What is the purpose of administering the pretest?

Kentville, a community of 10,000 people, resides next to a krypton mine, and there is a concern that the emission from the krypton smelter have resulted in adverse effects. Specifically, Kryptonosis seems to have killed 12 of Kentville’s inhabitants last year. A neighboring community, Lanesburg, has 25,000 inhabitants and is far enough from the smelter to not be affected by the emission. In Lanesburg, only three people last year died of Kryptonosis. Given that the number of deaths in Kentville and their causes last year were: Heart attack=7 Accidents=4 Kryptonosis=12 Other=6 What is the risk of dying of Kryptonosis in Kentville relative to non-contaminated locality?What is the risk of dying of Kryptonosis in Kentville relative to deaths due to other causes? How many times the chance of dying of Kryptonosis compared to dying of accidents ? How many times the chance of dying of Kryptonosis compared to Other causes?
