- A radio talk show host with a large audience is interested in the proportion of adults in his listening area that think the drinking age should be lowered to 18. To find out, he poses the following question to his listeners: “Do you think that the drinking age should be reduced to 18 in light of the fact that 18-year-olds are eligible for military service?” He asks listeners to phone in and vote “yes” if they agree the drinking age should be lowered and “no” if not. Reference: Ref 12-4 You are told that the sample proportion of those who phoned in and answered yes is = 0.70 and the standard error of the sample proportion is 0.0459. The number of people who phoned in Select one: a. is 21. b. is 50. c. is 100. d. is 200. e. cannot be determined from the information given.arrow_forwardThe Centurion apartment building in downtown Chicago has a total of 240 rental units. It offers its new tenants an 18-month lease, which is renewed on a month-to-month basis if the tenant chooses to stay longer than 18 months. The leasing office reports that The Centurion signs about 80 leases with new tenants in an average year, and that 60% of tenants who move in end up staying in the building longer than 18 months. On average, the building is 90% occupied. You may assume that a negligible number of tenants break their lease in the first 18 months. What is the average number of tenants who are in their first 18 months at The Centurion?arrow_forwardA certain gentleman acquired 54 gold bonds issued by the Weimar Republic in 1934. The value of each was 2500 troy ounces of gold. The bonds matured in 1954, at which time the value of each was 2500 troy ounces of gold at 1954 prices. The price of gold at that time was around $350 per troy ounce. The bonds could not be redeemed because in 1954 there was no single German country—it had been divided into two nations. But provisions of the bond stated that from 1954 onward the unredeemed bonds grew in value according to the exponential formula Value = Initial value × 1.00019365t, where t is the number of years since 1954. What was the total value of this man's 54 bonds in 2013? Give your answer in billions of dollars rounded to two decimal places. If the bonds remain unredeemed in 2026, what will be their total value? Give your answer in billions of dollars rounded to two decimal places.arrow_forward
