Textbook Question
Chapter 2.1, Problem 10E
Does It Make Sense? For Exercises 5–8, determine whether the statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). Explain clearly; not all of these have definitive answers, so your explanation may be more important than your chosen answer.
10. Pulse Rates. In a simple random sample of adults, the pulse rate is measured for each subject.

A 2017 study of over half a million eighth through 12th graders found that the number exhibiting high levels of depressive symptoms increased by 33 percent between 2010 and 2015.
(a) What is the population of this study?
(b) What is the sample of this study?
Be clear to mark part (a) and (b) in your solution.
Sleep apnea is a condition in which the sufferers stop breathing momentarily while they are asleep. This condition results in lack of sleep and extreme fatigue during waking hours. A current estimate is that 15 million out of the 312.7million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, or approximately 4.8%. A safety commission is concerned about the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea. They do not have any reason to believe that it would be higher or lower than the population’s percentage. To test the claim that the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea is not 4.8%, a simple random sample of 339 commercial truck drivers is examined by a medical expert, who concludes that 7 suffer from sleep apnea. Does this evidence support the claim that the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea is not 4.8%? Use a 0.05 level of significance.
