Shaquille O’Neal Shaquille O’Neal was a professional basketball star who had a reputation for being a poor free-throw shooter. In his career, he made 5935 of 11,252 free throws that he attempted, for a success ratio of 0.527. Describe a procedure for using software or a TI-83/84 Plus calculator to simulate his next free throw. The outcome should be an indication of one of two results: (1) The free throw is made; (2) the free throw is missed.

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 800 adults in that country, 34% say that they would travel into space on a commercial flight if they could afford it. At α=0.05, is there enough evidence to reject the research center's claim? Complete parts (a) through (d) below. (a) Identify the claim and state H0 and Ha. Let p be the population proportion of successes, where success is an adult in the country who would travel into space on a commercial flight if they could afford it. State H0 and Ha. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. b) Use technology to find the P-value. Identify the standardized test statistic. Identify the P-value. (c) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis and (d) interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.

In an agricultural experiment, the effects of two fertilizers on the production of limes were measured. Fourteen randomly selected plots of land were treated with a brand new fertilizer, and 18 randomly selected plots were treated with an old fertlizer. The number of pounds of harvested limes were measured from each plot. The results are given below. (Round answers to two decimal places.) New F.

The surgical procedures are widely used to treat a certain type of cancer. To compare the success rates of the two procedures, random samples of the two types of surgical patients were obtained and the numbers of patients who showed no recurrence of the disease after a 1-year period were recorded. The data are shown in the table. How large a sample would be necessary in order to estimate the difference in the true success rates to within 0.10 with 95% reliability? n Number of Successes Procedure A 100 85 Procedure B 100 89

Miss Piggy, trying to prove that she is not just a pretty face, urged all of the Muppets to apply to law school at Sock Puppet University. In preparation for their law school applications, each Muppet took the LSAT and received scores uniformly distributed from Animal’s score of 10 to Kermit the Frog’s score of 180. The total cost (in present value) of attending Sock Puppet University Law School is $136,000. The Muppets’ earnings are directly related to their performance on the LSAT, regardless of whether they go to law school. Those who do not go to law school will earn a present value of YNL = 100×LSAT, while those who do attend law school earn YL =1,000+1,000×LSAT. What is the average earnings of the Muppets who attend law school and the earnings of the Muppets who do not attend law school?
