A university system has a total of 40 new computers to distribute to each of its three campuses. After preregistration, the enrollment at each of the campuses was the value shown in second column of the table below together with the apportionment of the computers in the third column according to the Hamilton method. Final enrollment at each of the campuses is shown in the fourth column of the table with the percent increase in enrollment over the preregistration values in the fifth column. Determine whether a population paradox will occur in the reapportionment of the computers according to final enrollments. If it does, which campus loses a computer in the reapportionment?

He decides to test all five types in his orchard of orange trees to see which one works best. He decides to divide his orchard into five parts: part A, B, C, D and E. In part A he uses Fertilizer A, in part B Fertilizer B, etc. After the harvest he randomly chooses 15 trees from each part of the orchard. For each, he determines the total weight (in kg) of all the oranges on the tree and writes it down. Now he wants to test whether the type of fertilizer has an effect on the average weight of oranges in one orange tree. Use the below output to answer the questions that follow.

Members of the International Olympic Committee vote to determine which city will get to host the Olympics. The city with the majority of the votes wins. If, after the first round of voting, no city obtains the absolute majority of the votes cast, as many rounds are held as necessary for a city to obtain such majority. If additional rounds are necessary, plurality with elimination is used to determine which city is to be removed from the competition. For the 2048 Winter Olympics, the first round of voting is as follows: City Number of Votes After Round 1 Oslo 29 Sapporo 38 Vancouver 36 Since no city has the absolute majority of the votes, another round of voting will be necessary.

He proposed tax reductions as a means of stimulating the economy and, as a result, increase tax revenues. In the mid 1990’s Time magazine reported that 30% of the US Congress supported a tax cut as a means of stimulating the economy and increasing tax revenues. Suppose at that time 5 members of congress were randomly selected for an interview and asked whether they supported a tax cut to stimulate the economy. 1.2) Find the probability that at least three of the five members of congress who were interviewed were in favour of a tax cut (rounded off to four decimals).arrow_forward

- 5. A vote is to be taken among the residents of a town and the surrounding county to determine whether a proposed chemical plant should be constructed. The construction site is within the town limits, and for this reason many voters in the county believe that the proposal will pass because of the large proportion of town voters who favor the construction. To determine if there is a significant difference in the proportions of town voters and county voters favoring the proposal, a poll is taken. If 120 of 200 town voters favor the proposal and 240 of 500 county residents favor it, would you agree that the proportion of town voters favoring the proposal is higher than the proportion of county voters? Use an α = 0.05 level of significance.arrow_forwardIn a study of preferences in leafcutter ants, a researcher presented 20 randomly chosen ant colonies with leaves from the two most common tree species in the surrounding forest. The leaves were placed in piles of 100, one pile for each tree species, close to colony entrances. Leaves were cut so that each was small enough to be carried by a single ant. After 24 hours, the researcher returned and counted the number of leaves remaining of the original 100 of each species.

To determine the winning numbers for each game, lottery officials draw 5 white balls out of a drum of 59 white balls numbered 1 through 59 and 1 red ball out of a drum of 35 red balls numbered 1 through 35. To win the powerball jackpot, a participant's numbers must match the numbers on the 5 white balls in any order and must also match the number on the red powerball.
