Question
According to a recent study, 80% of adults say they play games on their smartphone.
Suppose we randomly select 200 adults and find that 68% of the sample plays games on
their smartphone. Which of the following correctly describes the distribution for the
proportion of adults in the sample who play games on their smartphone?
pˆ ~ AN(0.68, 0.0330)
pˆ ~ AN(0.80, 0.0283)
pˆ ~ AN(0.80, 0.0330)
X ~ AN(160, 5.6569)

- A survey conducted by a song rating service finds that the percentages of listeners familiar with "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga who would give the song ratings of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 are, respectively, 43 percent, 21 percent, 22 percent, 7 percent, and 7 percent. Assign the numerical values 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to the (qualitative) ratings 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 and find an estimate of the probability distribution of x = this song’s rating by a randomly selected listener who is familiar with the song.
