Question
One study claimed that 91%91% of college students identify themselves as procrastinators. A professor believes that the claim regarding college students is too high. The professor conducts a simple random sample of 118118 college students and finds that 102102 of them identify themselves as procrastinators. Does this evidence support the professor’s claim that fewer than 91%91% of college students are procrastinators? Use a 0.010.01 level of significance.Step 2 of 3:

- The drug Finasteride is marketed as Propecia to help protect against male pattern baldness, and it also may protect against prostate cancer. A large sampleof healthy men over age 55 were randomly assigned to receive either a daily Finasteride pill or a placebo. The study lasted seven years and the men had annual check-ups and a biopsy at the end of the study. Prostate cancer was found in 804 of 4368 men taking Finasteride and in 1145 of the 4692 men taking a placebo. the 95% confidence interval for the risk difference is (-0.077, -0.043). Compared to this confidence interval, a 98% confidence interval for the risk difference is: a.) wider b.) there is not enough information provided to decide c.) half the width d.) the same width e.) narrowerarrow_forwardA 2018 Gallup poll found 20% of adults aged 18 - 29 years vape.
