Suppose that you were the overall in charge of the seating in an international convention wherein 12 country-representatives were invited. They are the prime ministers/presidents of the countries of Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Libya, Malaysia, Philippines, South Korea, USA, and United Kingdom. If the seating arrangement is to be circular, how many seating arrangements are possible?Create your own seat plan for these 12 leaders based on your knowledge of their backgrounds. Discuss why you arranged them that way.arrow_forwardFind the apportionment of the Bandana Republic as described in exercise 1 (M=160) under Hamilton's method.

A professor at a large university assigns a project to his class because he is interested to discover what proportion of students at the university are willing to report cheating by other students. One group posed this question to an SRS of 189 undergraduate students, "You witness two students cheating on a quiz. Do you go to the professor?" Only 22 answered "Yes." a) Identify the point estimator you would use. b) Calculate the value of the point estimate. c) Identify the population and parameter of interest. d) Identify each of the conditions that must be met to use this procedure and explain how you know that each one has been satisfied. e) Find the label the appropriate critical value and the standard error for a 90% confidence interval.
