TransUnion is a leading global provider of business intelligence services. Transunion reported that 33% of the mortgages in the year previous to the sub-prime mortgage crisis were adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs). a. In samples of mortgages of size 75, what proportion of the samples would you expect to produce sample proportions equal to or larger than 0.25? b. If a sample of size 75 produced a sample proportion of 0.45, what would you infer that the population proportion of mortgages with ARMs really is? c. In a sample of 90 mortgages, what would the probability be that the number of mortgages with ARMS would be between 25 and 35?

According to the IRS, individuals filing federal income tax returns prior to March 31 received an average refund of $1056 in 2018. Consider the population of “last-minute” filers who mail their tax return during the last five days of the income tax period (typically April 10 to April 15). A researcher suggests that a reason individuals wait until the last five days is that on average these individuals receive lower refunds than do early filers. For a sample of 400 individuals who filed a tax return between April 10 and 15, the sample mean refund was $910. Based on prior experience, a population standard deviation of σ = $1,600 may be assumed. Test the researcher's assertion using the critical value approach. Use α = 0.05 (Please include all the 7 steps in hypothesis testing) Steps in hypothesis testing p-value Approach Develop the null and alternative hypothesis Specify the level of significance, α Choose the test statistic (z or t) Calculate the test statistic Use the value of the…
A study, which randomly surveyed 3,700 households and drew on this information from the IRS, found that 79% of households have conducted at least one IRA rollover from an employer-sponsored retirement plan. Suppose a recent random sample of 90 households in a certain county was taken and respondents were asked whether they had ever funded an IRA account with a rollover from an employer-sponsored retirement plan. Based on the sample data below, can you conclude at the 0.10 level of significance that the proportion of households in the county that have funded an IRA with a rollover is different from the proportion for all households reported in the study? 77 respondents said they had funded an account; 13 respondents said they had not

A university dean is interested in determining the proportion of students who receive some sort of financial aid. Rather than examine the records for all students, the dean randomly selected 200 students and finds that 118 of them are receiving financial aid. If the dean wanted to estimate the proportion of all students receiving financial aid to within 3% with 90% reliability, how many students would need to be sampled?
