A health journal found that 56.5% of college students who lived in coed dormitories consumed alcohol weekly (compared with 26.5% who lived in single-sex dormitories). A random sample of 180 students who live in coed dormitories was selected. Complete parts a through d below. a. What is the probability that more than 50% of the students in the sample consume alcohol weekly? The probability is . (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Thirty-five percent of all Americans drink bottled water more than once a week (Natural resources Defense Council, December 4, 2015). Suppose you have been hired by the Natural Resources Defence Council to investigate bottled water consumption in St. Paul. You plan to select a sample of St. Paulites to estimate the proportion who drink bottled water more than once a week. Assume the popluation proportion of St. Paulites who drink bottled water more than once a week is 0.35 , the same as the overall proportion of Americans who drink bottled water more than once a week. Suppose you select a sample of 540 St. Paulites. Show the sampling distribution of “p with a line over it” (to 4 decimals). E(p with a line over it) = 0` p with a line over it = Based upon a sample of 540 St. Paulites, what is the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.08 of the population proportion (to 4 decimals). Probability = Suppose you select a sample of 190 St. Paulites. Show the sampling…
A coach is interested in how many slam dunks the average college freshman at his university can do. Ten volunteers from the senior class step forward. After observing their performance, the coach concluded that college seniors can do an average of 10 slam dunks in a row without missing. what is the sample? what is the population?
sixty-five percent of those surveyed reply No to a certain question. If 234 reply No, what is the sample size?
A vaccine to prevent a severe virus was given to children within the first year of life as part of a drug study. The study reported that of the 3456bchildren randomly assigned the vaccine, 58 got the virus. Of the 1606 children randomly assigned the placebo, 46 got the virus. a. Find the sample percentage of children who caught the virus in each group. Is the sample percentage lower for the vaccine group, as investigators hoped? b. Determine whether the vaccine is effective in reducing the chance of catching the virus, using a significance level of 0.01.The first few steps of the hypothesis-testing procedure are given. Complete the procedure.
Explain if there was a statistically significant difference between the group means. did you arrive at your conclusion?
According the the U.S. Census bureau, the percentage of Santa Ana residents with a bachelor's degree or higher is 14% and the percentage of Irvine residents with a bachelor's degree or higher is 68.5%. Suppose that the sample sizes were 1000 for the Santa Ana group and 1000 for the irvine group. Is there enough evidence to conclude that people who live in Irvine have a higher level of education compared to people living in Santa Ana?
What is the sample and corresponding population in this study ?
2. A study for adverse reactions assigned adults at random to one of two common pain relievers (ibuprofen and acetaminophen). It was found that out of 733 adults who were administered ibuprofen, 103 of them experienced an adverse reaction, and out of 732 adults who were administered acetaminophen, 85 of them experienced an adverse reaction. Let p1 denote the proportion of adults who experience an adverse reaction when taking ibuprofen and let p2 denote the proportion of adults who experience an adverse reaction when taking acetaminophen. Suppose we want to answer the following questions. i) Test, at the 3% level of significance, whether the proportion of adults who experience an adverse reaction when taking ibuprofen is greater than the proportion of adults who experience an adverse reaction when taking acetaminophen. ii) Calculate the 97% confidence interval for p1 - P2. The table below provides the information needed to perform the hypothesis test: Value x1 103.0000 85.0000 733.0000…

A real-estate appraiser wants to verify the market value for homes on the east side of the city that are very similar to size and style. The appraiser wants to test the popular belief that the average sales price is $37.80 per square foot for such homes. Suppose that a random sample of six sales were selected. The sampled sales prices per square foot are $35.00, $38.10, $37.20, $29.80, $30.30, and $35.40. Assuming a normal distribution is a good model for sales, test the claim that the mean sales price per square foot differs from $37.80 at the 1% significance level.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, 43% of the college students work full time. A survey of 900 randomly selected college students is to be conducted. For such groups of 900, would it be unusual to get 735 college students who work fulltime?
