Concept explainers
A survey by Accenture indicated that 64% of millennials as compared to 28% of baby boomers prefer “hybrid� investment advice-a combination of traditional advisory services and low-cost digital tools-over either a dedicated human advisor or conventional robo-advisory services (computer-generated advice and services without human advisors) alone.
Suppose that the survey was based on 500 respondents from each of the two generation groups.
a. Construct a
b. Give an example of a simple event and a joint event.
c. What is the probability that a randomly selected respondent prefers hybrid investment advice?
d. What is the probability that a randomly selected respondent prefers hybrid investment advice and is a baby boomer?
e. Are the events “generation group� and “prefer hybrid investment advice� independent? Explain?

- In 2010, the U.S. Congress passed the historic health care reform bill that will provide some type of coverage for the 32 million Americans currently without health care insurance. Just how widespread is the lack of medical coverage? The media claim that the segments of the population most at risk for disease and thus needing healthcare are women, children, the elderly and the poor. The following tables were generated from the U.S. Census Bureau, Current Population Survey, Annual Social and Economic Supplement (2011). The tables report the number of uninsured (in thousands) by sex, by age, and by household income. Is being insured or not dependent on gender? Fill in the degrees of freedom and p-value in the output below and draw a clear conclusion indicating which gender is more at risk of not being insured if there is a significant difference.arrow_forwardIn 2010, the U.S. Congress passed the historic health care reform bill that will provide some type of coverage for the 32 million Americans currently without health care insurance.

Among these five countries, the United States has 37.1% of the cost of piracy. Is it correct to conclude that the United States has 37.1% of the total cost of piracy for all countries?

In 2005, 27% of people aged 65-69 worked. A recent report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) claimed that the percentage working had increased (USA Today, November 16, 2012). The findings reported by the OECD were consistent with taking a sample of 600 people aged 6S-69 and finding that 180 of them were working. a. Develop a point estimate of the proportion of people aged 65-69 who are working (to 2 decimals). b.
