3. It is thought that a larger proportion of urban voters, in contrast to rural voters, will support the governor in her bid for reelection. Random samples of 500 urban and 400 rural voters were selected. Three hundred urban voters plans to vote to reelect the governor and 200 rural voters plan to do so.
- At the 0.05 significance, does this demonstrate that a greater proportion of urban voters plan to vote to reelect the governor?
- State the assumptions associated with this procedure.

In order to test this theory, they randomly sampled 25 textbooks on the shelves of the local bookstores. The students then found the "best" available price for the same textbooks via online retailers. The prices for the textbooks are listed in the following table. Based on the data, is it less expensive for the students to purchase textbooks from the online retailers than from local bookstores? Use a = 0.01. Let prices at local bookstores represent Population 1 and prices at online retailers represent Population 2.

- A lawn mower company will produce 1,500 lawn mowers by 2020. In an effort to determine how much maintenance-free consumers will buy when they buy lawn mowers, the company decided to conduct a study over the past 1 year of these mowers. First, a random sample was taken by contacting 200 grass mowers. The company owner provides an 800 number and is asked to contact the company when the first repair is needed for the lawn mower. Owners who no longer use lawn mowers to cut their grass are either disqualified or not sampled. After 1 year, it turned out that 187 owners had reported for the first repair. However, the other 74 disqualified themselves. The average number per year until the first improvement was 5.3 times for samples deemed feasible. It is believed that the standard deviation is 1.28 per year. If the company wants to advertise the lawnmower and with a confidence level of 95%, what is the estimated annual mean value of repair-free lawn mower for this lawn mower?
