A surprising fact is that only 56% of all teens use a password on their mobile device. If a poll chooses a simple random sample of teens and asks if they use a password on their mobile device, the percent who say “Yes” will vary from sample to sample, if the sampling is repeated. In fact, if we look at the sampling distribution in this case, we will see that the percent “Yes” in many samples of the same size will follow a

- When two births are randomly selected, the sample space for genders is bb, bg, gb, and gg. Assume that those four outcomes are equally likely. Construct a table that describes the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of girls sample proportions equal the proportion of girls in two births? Does the result suggest that a sample proportion is an unbiased estimator of a population proportion? For the entire population, assume the probability of having a boy is is not affected by how many boys or girls have previously been born. Determine the probabilities of each sample proportion. Sample proportion of girls ▼ Does the mean of the sample proportions equal the proportion of girls in two births? O A. Yes, both the mean of the sample proportions and the population proportion are 4 1 O B. Yes, both the mean of the sample proportions and the population proportion are 3 O C. Yes, both the mean of the sample proportions and the population proportion are 1 2 O D. No, the mean of the…arrow_forwardOne cable company claims that it has excellent customer service. In fact, the company advertises that a technician will arrive within 55 minutes after a service call is placed. One frustrated customer believes this is not accurate, claiming that it takes over 55 minutes for the cable technician to arrive. The customer asks a simple random sample of 4 other cable customers how long it has taken for the cable technician to arrive when they have called for one. The sample mean for this group is 62.1 minutes with a standard deviation of 8.3 minutes. Assume that the population distribution is approximately normal. Test the customer’s claim at the 0.05 level of significance. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.arrow_forward(6) A student surveys some students on campus in the evening and finds that 16 out of 20 of the students she interviewed are part time students.

An independent tourist company would like to show that this distribution of age category for individuals buying season passes is different from what the amusement park claims. The tourist company randomly sampled 200 individuals entering the park with a season pass and recorded the number of individuals within each age category. Age Category Child (under 13 years old) Teen (13 to 19 years old) Adult (20 to 55 years old) Senior (56 years old and over) Number of Individuals 56 86 44 14 The tourist company will use the data to test the amusement park’s claim, which is reflected in the following null hypothesis.
