NBC News reported on May 2, 2013, that 1 in 20 children in the United States have a food allergy of some sort. Consider selecting a random sample of 25 children and let X be the number in the sample who have a food allergy. Then X ~ Bin(25, 0.05). a. Determine both P(X <= 3) and P(X < 3). b. Determine P(X >= 4). c. Determine P(1 <= X <= 3).

Consider X₁, X₂, . . . , Xn to be independent random variables from a Normal(μ,σ ² ) where both parameters are unknown.
Let p1 and p2 be the respective proportions of women with iron-deficiency anemia in each of two developing countries. A random sample of 1900 women from the first country yielded 513 women with iron-deficiency anemia, and an independently chosen, random sample of 1700 women from the second country yielded 515 women with iron-deficiency anemia. Can we conclude, at the 0.10 level of significance, that the proportion of women with anemia in the first country is less than the proportion of women with anemia in the second country? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the parts below. a. State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1. b. Find the values of the test statistic. c. FInd the p-value. d. Can we conclude that the proportion of women with anemia in the first country is less than the proportion of women with anemia in the second country?
A large nationwide survey showed that 65% of high school students like Coca-Cola better than Pepsi. Dr.Johnson conducted a small survey of randomly selected high school students in Michigan and found that 180 ofthe 300 surveyed students liked Coca-Cola better than Pepsi. Test if the proportion of students that preferCoca-Cola over Pepsi is significantly different than the percentage indicated by the nationwide survey with asignificance level of 5%.

An organization published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 8.2 percent of adults in a country suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, six of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult population in the country. p' = Calculate ?x. Find the p-value.
