Assume that there are only three possible levels of education: "low", "middle" and "high". Among Argentine immigrants in the US, 50% have "low" education, 50% have "middle" education and 0 % have "high" education. Among Argentine stayers, 100% have "high" education. The Net Difference Index comparing the education of Argentine immigrants in the US to the education of Argentine stayers is equal to: a. -1 b. -0.5 c. 0 d. 0.5 e. 1

The U.S. Census Bureau conducts annual surveys to obtain information on the percentage of the voting-age population that is registered to vote. Suppose that 679679 employed persons and 690690 unemployed persons are independently and randomly selected, and that 429429 of the employed persons and 369369 of the unemployed persons have registered to vote. Can we conclude that the percentage of employed workers ( p1p1 ), who have registered to vote, exceeds the percentage of unemployed workers ( p2p2 ), who have registered to vote? Use a significance level of α=0.05α=0.05 for the test. Step 5 of 6 : Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis H0H0. Round the numerical portion of your answer to three decimal places.
Supposed a study using a random sample of postgraduate students in Sydney found that the average amount of time spent using a mobile phone per day is 5.5 hours. Indicate whether the quantity described above is a population parameter or a sample statistic, and write down the notation. Hints: You may type in how you read the notation, instead of using the symbol itself. E,g. you can write "mu" or "xbar" or "phat" or "rho" or "sigma" for the Greek alphabet or special symbol.
A government study found that people who eat chocolate frequently weighless than people who don’t. Researchers questioned 1000 individuals fromCalifornia between the ages of 20 and 85 about their eating habits, andmeasured their weight and height. On average, participants ate chocolatetwice a week and had a body mass index (BMI) of 28. There was anobserved difference of five to seven pounds in weight between those whoate chocolate five times a week and those who did not eat any chocolate atall, with the chocolate eaters weighing less on average. Frequent chocolateeaters also consumed more calories, on average, than people who consumedless chocolate. Based on this summary, would you recommend thatAmerican’s who do not presently eat chocolate, consider eating chocolateup to five times a week if they want to lose weight? Why or why not?Explain.

In June 2015, Gallup conducted a poll of a random sample of 14802 adults to determine the well-being of people living in the United States. One question asked, "Did you exercise at least 30 minutes for 3 or more days in the past week?" In the survey, 57.3% of males and 42.7% of females responded yes to this question. Which of the following is true about this scenario?A. 57:3% and 42.7% are both statistiesB. 57.3% and 42.7% are both parameter.C. If we took another random sample of 14802 adults, we would expect to get the exact same results.
