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 713 employed persons and 613 unemployed persons are independently and randomly selected and that 338 of the employed persons and 244 of the unemployed persons have registered to vote. Can we conclude that the percentage of employed workers ( p1 ), who have registered to vote, exceeds the percentage of unemployed workers ( p2 ), who have registered to vote? Use a significance level of α=0.1 for the test.

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 that578 employed persons and 492 unemployed persons are independently and randomly selected, and that261 of the employed persons and 194 of the unemployed persons have registered to vote. Can we conclude that the percentage of employed workers ( p1 ), who have registered to vote, exceeds the percentage of unemployed workers ( p2 ), who have registered to vote? Use a significance level of α=0.1 for the test.

- Regarding the context regarding the coronavirus pandemic, see the table below, which refers to 5 groups of people infected with the coronavirus and the number of deaths in each group. a) Tiago, another person who observes the table, has a clinical look and makes the following statement for the fifth class of the table. "With certainty, 7 deaths occurred in a group with a number of infected greater than or equal to 80 and being less than or equal to 89 infected people." When you analyze this statement that James made, do you agree or disagree? Justify your choice. b) Tiago, wanting to be more precise, decides to calculate the average number of deaths among all groups of infected people presented in the table. When making this calculation, James will arrive at what value? And what will be the correct interpretation that James will make with the value obtained by the average? Present the calculation to obtain the mean and interpret the result.arrow_forwardA highway agent sampled cars going from one state to a neighboring state.

- A survey on 1512 high school seniors who took the SAT and who completed an optional web survey between April 25 and April 30, 2007 shows that 55% of high school seniors are fairly certain that they will participate in a study abroad program in college. a) Is this sample a representative sample from the population of all high school seniors in the US? O No. The sample only represents students who took the SAT, and this was also an online survey, so only students who had internet access could complete it. ONo. The sample is not large enough to be representative. Yes. Each member of the population has an equal probability to be selected. Yes.
