At any age, about 20% of American adults participate in fitness activities at least twice a week. However, these activities change as people get older, and occasionally participants cease to be older as they age. In a local survey of n = 100 adults over 40, a total of 15 people indicated that they participated in these activities at least twice a week. Does this data indicate that the percentage of participation for adults over 40 years of age is considerably less than the 20% figure? Find the p-value and use it to draw the appropriate conclusions.
A random sample of 1011 adults in a certain large country was asked "Do you pretty much think televisions are a necessity or a luxury you could do without?" Of the 1011 adults surveyed, 514 indicated that televisions are a luxury they could do without. Complete parts (a) through (e) below.
(a) Obtain a point estimate for the population proportion of adults in the country who believe that televisions are a luxury they could do without.
