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 642642 employed persons and 745745 unemployed persons are independently and randomly selected, and that 376376 of the employed persons and 300300 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?

The control department of a light bulb manufacturer randomly picks 4400 light bulbs from the production lot every week. The records show that, when there is no malfunction, the defect rate in the manufacturing process ( due to imperfections in the material used) is 1%. When 1.25% or more of the light bulbs in the sample of 4400 are defective, the control unit calls repair technicians for service. Answer the following.
Suppose that a single-sampling plan with n=50 and c=1 is being used for receiving inspection where the supplier ships the product in lots of size N=3,000, If the lot fraction defective is p = 0.02. Determine the probability of rejecting the lot.
A surveyor decides to sample students randomly from a classroom in order to get information about teacher satisfaction. There are 29 students in the class, and the surveyor has randomly assigned each of the students a number. The surveyor wishes to randomly select 10 students using the following number table. 741928 657381 104823 571628 021598 204878 123596 897635 234807 646079 659735 A) What kind of sample is this? B) What assumptions must be made about the population in order to continue with the sampling design? C) Assuming the above assumptions do hold, what are the numbers corresponding to the 10 students in the sample that would be selected from the classroom?
Suppose that, as Human Resources Manager of a firm with more than 10,000 employees, you are interested in understanding: (i) what fraction of those employees are satisfied with their working conditions and (ii) how many hours your employees spend each evening reading and writing work-related emails. You do not have the budget to survey all employees, so you a sample of 200 employees. The results reveal that: (i) 125 of the sample employees are satisfied with their working conditions and (ii) sample employees spend, on average, 2.2 hours each evening reading and writing work-related emails, with a sample standard deviation of 0.4 hours. 1. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion (p) of employees who are satisfied with their working conditions. 2. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of hours employees spend reading and writing work-related emails each evening.
A study published in the American Journal of Public Health was conducted to determine whether the use of seat belts in motor vehicles depends on ethnic status in San Diego County. A sample of 792 children treated for injuries sustained from motor vehicle accidents was obtained, and each child was classified according to (1) ethnic status (Hispanic or non-Hispanic) and (2) seat belt usage (worn or not worn) during the accident. The number of children in each category is given in the table below. Ethnicity Seat belt worn Hispanic Non-Hispanic Total Yes 30 149 179 No 280 333 613 Total 310 482 792 She is interested to use this table to do a test of independence with a level of significance of 0.01.
