The Majoring in Money study by Sallie Mae from December 2015 showed that most college students manage their credit cards in a reasonable way. It showed that almost two-thirds of students pay their credit card balance in full every month and 25% of students who own credit cards make partial payments that exceed the minimum amount due. You are curious to find out if credit card payment behavior of students has changed since 2015 and collect data from a random sample of 370 students. You find that 71 students are making partial payments on their credit cards that exceed the minimum amount due. Using α=0.01, complete parts a and b below.

2) . In February 2021, the Chicago Tribune reported:“The overdose epidemic that has ravaged Chicago has not spared the nearby suburbs, some of which have death rates comparable to anything seen in the city, according to a report released this week by the Cook County Department of Public Health. ZIP codes in the towns of Worth, Broadview, Maywood, and Forest Park, areas that “have substantially lower median household incomes and higher poverty rates,” have been especially hard-hit, the report said.”In the article, they claimed that lower incomes were associated with higher overdose death rates and that overdose death rates are increasing over time. The data you have been analyzing wasn’t focused on Chicago, obviously. But do your results support the general gist of the statistical argument being made in this Tribune excerpt? Please address:• Do overdose death rates appear to be associated with per capita income (use scatterplot)?• Do overdose death rates appear to be increasing over…
