A research center claims that 30% of adults in a certain country would travel into space on a commercial flight if they could afford it. In a random sample of 700 adults in that country, 34% say that they would travel into space on a commercial flight if they could afford it. At α=0.01, is there enough evidence to reject the research center's claim? Complete parts (a) through (d) below.

A medical researcher says that less than 80% of adults in a certain country think that healthy children should be required to be vaccinated.

The brightness of a television picture tube can be evaluated by measuring the amount ofcurrent required to achieve a particular brightness level. A sample of 10 tubes results in x̅=317.2 and σx̅ = 15.7. Suppose that the design engineer claims that this tube will require atleast 300 microamps of current to produce the desired brightness level. Formulate and test anappropriate hypothesis to confirm this claim using α = 0.05.

please answer in 30 mins. and only if you are sure. ACME company is considering on bidding 3,000, 3400, or 3,800 (or not bidding at all) on a job. The charity will choose the lowest bid. ACME estimates that it will cost $235 to prepare a bid and labour and material costs of $2,500 if they win the contract. Based on past contracts of this type, ACME believes it can speculate on thr values of the possible low bids from the competition, if there's any competition, and the associated probabilities are shown: competitors bid amount (if any) Less than $3000. Probability (0.45) Greater than or equal to $3,000 but less than 3,400 Probability (0.33) Greater than or equal to 3,400 but less than 3,800 Probability (0.18) Greater than or equal to 3,800 .
