2b. It is thought that 20% of Annual Tax returns to the Australian Tax Office (ATO) contain errors of one kind or another. An auditor in the ATO investigating the number of returns with errors in a particular industry takes a sample of 25 returns and classifies each return as being “in error” or “not in error”. i. If the variable X is used to represent the number of returns in the sample that are in error, and assuming this industry is no different to other industries in terms of the error rate, then state:• the values that X may take;• the distribution of this variable; and • the parameter/s of this distribution. ii. Determine the probability that 6 or less returns in this sample are in error. The auditor found that there were 13 tax returns with errors in this sample. iii. Determine the probability of finding 13 or more returns with errors if indeed the error rate was 20%. iv. Based upon your answer for part iii., what conclusion might the auditor make about this particular industry…
According to the Pew Research Center,on the propotion of the American population who use only a cellular telephone (landline) is 0.37. Jason conducts a survey of one hundred fifty 20 to 24 year olds who live on their own and finds that 73 do not have a landline to their home. Does this provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of 20 to 24 year olds who live on their own and don't have a landline is greater than 0.37? Use a=0.10 level of significance. A) Verify that nP0(1-P0)>10 and n< 0.05N (Assume the population sizes is N=40 million) B) State the appropiate null and alternative hypotheses. C) Indicate whether the hypothesis is left, right, or two- tailed.

suppose that from a sample of 200,000 new york workers, 32,400 reported traveling more than an hour an day. From this information, statisticians determined that about 16.2% of the workers in the state traveled more than an hou to work every day in 2011. If there were 8,437,512 workers in the entire population, about how many traveled more than an hour to work each day?

A second-stage smog alert has been called in a certain area of Los Angeles County in which there are 50 industrial firms. An inspector will visit 10 randomly selected firms to check for violations of regulations.a. If 15 of the firms are actually violating at least one regulation, what is the pmf of the number of firms visited by the inspector that are in violation of at least one regulation?b. If there are 500 firms in the area, of which 150 are in violation, approximate the pmf of part (a) by a simpler pmf.c. For X = the number among the 10 visited that are in violation, compute E(X) and V(X) both for the exact pmf and the approximating pmf in part (b).
